MAJORITY of Filipinos are satisfied with the way the Marcos administration is addressing the issues of helping victims of disasters, improving education quality, helping the poor, job generation policies, and developing Science and technology, the fourth quarter survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showed.

But the survey, which involved 2,160 adults nationwide with a margin of error of ±2 percent, showed that the Marcos government continued to score negative satisfaction ratings on the issues of inflation, fighting graft and corruption, and ensuring that oil companies do not take advantage of oil prices.

The survey also showed the Marcos government sustaining its “good” +36 net satisfaction rating (59 percent satisfied, 23 percent satisfied) in December, unchanged from September (60 percent satisfied, 24 percent satisfied).
