Malaca±ang: Malaca±ang on Friday expressed elation over the public's growing appreciation of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s relentless efforts to bring progress to the country. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the higher trust and satisfaction in Marcos is an indication that more Filipinos are now feeling the changes under the current administration.

According to Philippines News Agency, Marcos obtained higher trust and performance scores in the second quarter of 2025, based on a non-commissioned Tugon ng Masa survey conducted by OCTA Research from July 12 to 17. Marcos' trust rating went up by four percentage points from 64 percent to 68 percent, while his performance rating saw a three-percentage-point increase to 62 percent.

While Marcos does not look at surveys as his performance metrics, the results show the effectiveness of the government's messaging, allowing more Filipinos to be aware of the current administration's policies and programs, Castro noted. She emphasized that the President's visibility has improved, making it easier for citizens to see and understand his efforts.

Castro also mentioned the importance of transparency, stating that it helps people differentiate between someone who is diligently working and someone who might appear to be on vacation. This increased visibility and communication have contributed to the public's growing trust and satisfaction with President Marcos's leadership.
