SWS-Stratbase poll shows Marcos trust rating up by 10 percentage points
President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s trust rating increased by 10 percentage points from 38% in May to 48% in June, an SWS survey commissioned by Stratbase showed.
According to a survey conducted among 1,200 Filipino adults across the country from June 25 to 29, 48% expressed a great deal of trust in Marcos, 30% had little trust, and 21% were undecided.
Stratbase said respondents were asked to assess their level of trust in key government officials using the following categories: very much, somewhat much, undecided if much or little, somewhat little, and very little. The survey has a ±3% margin of error.
Those who had much trust in Vice President Sara Duterte went up by a percentage point from 60% in May to 61% in June. Twenty-three percent had little trust in the Vice President, and 14% were undecided in the latest poll
Those who said they had much trust in Senate President Francis Escudero increased from 47% in May to 55% in June. Twenty-three percent said they had little trust in Escudero, while 21 percent were undecided in the most recent survey.
Speaker Martin Romualdez's 'much trust' increased from 26% in May to 34% in June. Thirty-four percent also had little trust, while 27% were undecided.
'The significant increase in President Marcos' trust rating signals a possible renewed public confidence in his administration,' Stratbase Group President Prof. Victor Andres 'Dindo' Manhit said.
'He must sustain these trust ratings since they are crucial indicators of political stability and governance performance,' he added. – NB, GMA Integrated News

DPWH rushing San Juanico Bridge repair to meet December 2025 deadline
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is expediting the repairs of San Juanico Bridge to increase its load limit to 12 - 15 tons by December this year, Secretary Manuel Bonoan said Sunday. 'Ongoing ang repairs sa San Juanico Bridge at pinapaspasan na namin para makaabot kami sa deadline ng Presidente,' Bonoan told Super Radyo dzBB. (Repairs on the San Juanico Bridge are ongoing, and we're expediting the work to meet President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's deadline.) This move came after Marcos said he wanted to restore the bridge's capacity after a three-ton load limit had been imposed since May 15, after an assessment showed that there are significant structural compromises to the bridge. 'That's a test, sabi ko pag hindi niyo natapos 'yan, tatanggapin ko 'yung resignation ninyo,' Marcos warned. (That's a test, if you don't finish that, I'll accept your resignation.) The President had said more than P500 million has already been allocated for the San Juanico Bridge's repair. Last May, the Tacloban City Council declared a state of emergency as access to San Juanico Bridge, which links the islands of Samar and Leyte in Eastern Visayas, remains limited ahead of planned repairs on the structure. — RF, GMA Integrated News
