[Virtual Presenter] The survey results show that while Filipinos are satisfied with the government's response in providing education, health care, responding to natural disasters, and protecting overseas Filipino workers, they are not happy with its performance in managing inflation and reducing poverty. This indicates that there is still a lot of effort required to ensure economic equilibrium and improve the standard of living in the country.. 

Scene 1

FILIPINOS are not happy with the government's 
performance in managing inflation and reducing 
poverty but are satisfied with the provision of 
education and health care, response to natural disasters 
and protection of overseas Filipino workers, a survey 
by OCTA Research released Thursday showed. The 
Second Quarter Survey held from July 22 to 26 showed 
that only 36 percent of respondents said they were 
satisfied with the response of the Marcos 
administration in reducing poverty, while 34 percent 
said they are satisfied with its response on managing 
inflation. Conversely, 32 percent said they are 
dissatisfied with the way the government is managing 
inflation, while 26 percent said they are dissatisfied 
with its response in reducing poverty. Seven out of 10 
respondents are satisfied with the Marcos government 
in providing education, health care, responding to 
natural disasters, and protecting O.F.W.'s.

Conversely, 32 percent said they are dissatisfied with 
the way the government is managing inflation, while 
26 percent said they are dissatisfied with its response in 
reducing poverty.

[Audio] Results of a survey indicate that although 70% of respondents are content with the government's handling of essential affairs such as education, healthcare and disaster response, there is still a shortfall when it comes to poverty reduction and job creation. Dissatisfaction with poverty reduction was particularly pronounced in the National Capital region while Mindanao and the Visayas registered varying levels of satisfaction with other matters. Of the socioeconomic classes surveyed, class ABC was most pleased with the government's delivery of quality and affordable healthcare services. Clearly, dialogue needs to be broadened to tackle the issues facing poverty in the Philippines.. 

Scene 2

Seven out of 10 respondents are satisfied with the 
Marcos government in providing education, health 
care, responding to natural disasters, and protecting 
OFWs.

A low 26 percent of respondents in the National 
Capital Region said they are least satisfied with the 
government's poverty-reduction response, while they 
are most satisfied with protecting OFWs and ensuring 
food security.

They were highly dissatisfied with the government's 
performance in poverty reduction (31 percent) and job 
creation (22 percent). Mindanao respondents were 
most satisfied with the government's programs to 
provide primary and secondary education, quality 
health care, and creating more jobs. Respondents in the 
Visayas are satisfied with the government providing 
quality tertiary education.

The dissatisfaction rating on managing inflation was 
highest in Mindanao at 43 percent.

Among socioeconomic classes, class ABC were mostly 
satisfied with the government's performance to 
provide quality and affordable health care with 65 
percent, followed by preparing to successfully face any 
kind of terrorist threats (55 percent), and protecting 
human rights (55 percent).

[Audio] The Second Quarter Survey revealed that the Marcos Administration has made progress in reducing taxes, and Class E respondents expressed the highest approval rating for quality and affordable healthcare, OFW welfare protection, and defending Philippine territory against foreign intervention. Nevertheless, despite the strides made in inflation and poverty reduction, only 36% of respondents were content with the Administration's response to poverty, 32% were discontented with the government's approach to inflation, and 26% were unhappy with its approach to poverty reduction. Additionally, the survey revealed that three out of the five top performing government policies were also seen in the October 2022 survey, yet had lower ratings compared to the prior survey - the program for education had the greatest decrease at 10%..

They were also satisfied with the government's 
performance in reducing taxes at 43 percent. Class E 
respondents were satisfied with the government's 
performance in providing quality and affordable 
health care (77 percent), protecting OFW welfare (79 
percent), and defending Philippine territory against 
foreign intervention (73 percent).

Nearly four to five out of 10 respondents in all classes 
were dissatisfied with the government's performance 
in controlling the prices of basic goods and services, 
with the rating highest in Class E at 45 percent.

Class E also reported the highest dissatisfaction rating 
in poverty reduction, 33 percent.

OCTA noted that three of the five government policies 
that were rated the highest were in the top five in the 
March survey: providing quality primary and 
secondary education, providing quality tertiary and 
technical/vocational education, and protecting OFWs. 
The three programs had lower ratings from the 
previous survey, with the highest decrease coming 
from the education programs at 10 percent.

Three of the government's programs with highest 
dissatisfaction ratings — managing inflation, reducing 
poverty, and fighting graft and corruption — remained 
on the bottom five since the October 2022 survey, with 
managing inflation and reducing poverty, even posting 
higher dissatisfaction ratings.

[Audio] The survey highlighted the opinion of 1,200 Filipinos, aged 18 and above, about how they think the Marcos administration is performing in reducing poverty and in managing inflation. The survey had a margin of error of three to six percent, depending on the region. It is essential to take note of these results as we move forward. Thank you for your attention.. 

Scene 4

The survey had 1,200 respondents ages 18 years and 
above with a margin of error of plus or minus three 
percent nationwide and plus or minus six percent for 
Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, Visayas and 
Mindanao.
