Despite consecutive declines in her satisfaction and trust ratings for the second month in a row, Vice President Sara Duterte maintained the highest satisfaction and trust ratings among top government officials this month.
Based on survey results released on Thursday, May 30, Duterte received a satisfaction rating of 52 percent and a trust rating of 60 percent in the May 22 to 25 survey conducted by Tangere, a technology application and innovation-driven market research company.
Tangere noted that the Vice President experienced a 2 percent decrease in her satisfaction rating and a 4 percent decline in her trust rating from March to May
However, she continued to draw significant support from Mindanao with a trust rating of 66 percent and a satisfaction rating of 63 percent, the highest across regions.
Meanwhile, Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Bicol Region recorded the highest levels of dissatisfaction and distrust for Vice President Duterte.
PBBM satisfaction, trust ratings improve
During the same survey period, Tangere observed a notable increase in President Marcos’ satisfaction rating (43 percent), which was evident across almost all age groups, income classes, and regions, except for Mindanao, particularly the Davao Region and Northern Mindanao, where dissatisfaction is highest.
Likewise, a trust rating of 56 percent in May also showed improvement across various age groups, except for individuals aged 51 years old and above, where distrust is highest.
There was also a notable increase in the President’s trust rating observed in Metro Manila and among the upper and middle-income classes.
Similar to dissatisfaction, distrust towards President Marcos is highest in the Northern Mindanao and Davao Regions.
Zubiri, Romualdez post slight increases in satisfaction, trust rating
In his final term as Senate President, Tangere said Juan Miguel Zubiri saw a marginal 1 percent increase in both his satisfaction (43 percent) and trust ratings (54 percent).
However, dissatisfaction rose by 7 percent, while distrust increased by 2 percent during the same survey period.
Fifty-one percent of the respondents attributed the former Senate President’s ouster to the proposed economic Charter change or amendments to the economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution.
Tangere also found that 59 percent of respondents trust that Senator Francis Escudero can fulfill his new role as the new Senate President.
Meanwhile, Tangere said Speaker Martin Romualdez experienced notable improvements in satisfaction (43 percent) and trust (54 percent) ratings for May, with a 2 percent increase in both compared to March.
The increase in his ratings was particularly pronounced in the Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, and Eastern Visayas regions.
However, among Mindanao respondents and the upper and middle-income classes, distrust and dissatisfaction levels were relatively higher.
Tangere also found that while Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo’s awareness and familiarity levels saw minimal change, there was a notable improvement in his trust rating, attributed to improved ratings in Southern Luzon and Metro Manila.
Tangere conducted its survey on trust and satisfaction ratings of top Philippine government officials through a mobile-based respondent application, with a sample size of 2,000 participants.
The survey has a margin of error of +/-2.2 percent at a 95 percent confidence level, utilizing a stratified random sampling or quota-based sampling method.
The respondents were distributed across the Philippines as follows: 12 percent from the National Capital Region, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.
