A majority of Filipinos gave the first 100 days of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. a “good” rating”, based on the latest results of a survey by the Catholic Church released on Wednesday.

Based on the nationwide Veritas Truth Survey (VTS) by Church-run Radio Veritas, about 25 percent or one out of four Filipinos rated his first 100 days as good.

Meanwhile, 13 percent of the respondents gave an excellent rating and 11 percent gave a very good rating.

Some 22 percent of the respondents gave a poor rating while 21 percent gave a fair rating.

The remaining 8 percent of the respondents were undecided.

Fr. Anton CT Pascual, Radio Veritas president, said the result of the survey will help the present government to know the voice of the people and guide it on what to do.

“While the first 100-day milestone in office is mostly considered as a ‘honeymoon stage’, the early days of a presidency can be an optimal time for new presidents to make immense advances in their political agenda. A new president is usually still popular with the public, and lawmakers often have an inducement to cooperate with a new leader, generating an occasion for a president to pass major legislation; thus, the public’s perception of the President’s first 100 Days will be an effective tool to help guide future efforts of government,” he added.

The survey used a stratified sample of 1,200 respondents nationwide for a +/- 3 percent margin of error (gathered through a text-based and online data gathering process from the current VTS database).

It was conducted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 6, where respondents were asked on their perception of Marcos’ performance during his first 100 days in office. (PNA)
