Marcos shrugs off decline in trust ratings: Let's not base it on one survey
''Madaming ibang survey. Let's not base it on one,'' Marcos said on his trust ratings, May 27, 2025. KUALA LUMPUR - President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Tuesday shrugged off the decline in his trust ratings, noting that it should not be based on one survey. ''Madaming ibang survey. Let's not base it on one,'' Marcos said in a briefing with the Philippine media delegation when asked how he plans to arrest the decline in his ratings. Marcos asked the media who conducted the survey and when the reporters responded that it was Pulse Asia, the President smiled. Marcos said the source of the survey should also be considered. ''Again, let's look at other surveys before we -- know your source. That's a – that's always an… Imperfect information makes you make imperfect decisions. The more perfect your information, the more perfect your decision will be. That is one source of information, and you have to understand where it's actually coming from,'' he stressed. Marcos' trust ratings stood at 32% while Vice President Sara Duterte was at 50%, the latest Pulse Asia's latest Pulse ng Bayan survey showed. According to the findings of the nationwide survey conducted from May 6 to 9 among 1,200 registered voters, former President Rodrigo Duterte had a trust rating of 63%.

58% of Filipinos disagree with Rodrigo Duterte's arrest, survey says
- Photo: Screengrab from ICC MANILA: Majority of Filipinos disagree with the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte in connection with the extrajudicial killings allegedly committed during his administration's war against illegal drugs, the latest Pulse Asia survey showed. Based on the 'Pulso ng Bayan' survey of Pulse Asia conducted from May 6 to 9, 58 percent of the 1,200 respondents asserted that Duterte should not have been arrested and tried in the International Criminal Court (ICC). Pulse Asia specified the breakdowns of disagreement percentages, with 33 percent strongly disagreeing while 25 percent somewhat disagreeing. On the other hand, 26 percent of the respondents said that it is just right for Duterte to get arrested and face charges. Ten percent strongly agreed with the arrest of the former president, while 16 percent somewhat agreed. The survey likewise showed that 16 percent cannot say whether they agree or disagree with the current situation of Duterte. Mindanao: 96% disagree Ninety six percent of those surveyed in Mindanao disagreed with Duterte's arrest, and 60 percent in the Visayas, followed by Balance Luzon (provinces in Luzon outside Metro Manila) at 42 percent, and Metro Manila at 38 percent. Mindanao is known as the bailiwick of the Dutertes. In the recent 2025 midterm elections, Duterte was again elected mayor of Davao City, even though he was not able to campaign since he is currently under the custody of the ICC in The Hague, Netherlands. Metro Manila: 43% agree Meanwhile, Metro Manila had the most number of respondents who agreed with the arrest of the former President at 43 percent. The capital region was followed by Balance Luzon (35 percent), Visayas (24 percent) and Mindanao (1 percent). Last March, Duterte was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and brought to the ICC headquarters to face allegations of crimes against humanity allegedly committed in the war on drugs of his administration. According to the official government data, the drug war of the Duterte administration claimed at least 6,000 lives. Human rights watchdogs, however,, estimated the death toll to be between 12,000 and 30,000 from 2016 to 2019, noting that many of these incidents were extrajudicial killings. - Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN

De Lima unfazed by Pulse survey showing 50% 'disagree' with VP Sara's impeachment
ML party-list Rep.-elect and House prosecutor Leila de Lima is unfazed by the unpopularity of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment, as shown in the latest Pulse Asia survey which showed at least 50% disagreed with the move. "Wala pong epekto iyon [survey]. Para sa akin, and ganun rin siguro ang nasa isipan ng mga iba lang member ng prosecution panel, na hindi po kami magpapadala sa surveys ng ganyan," De Lima said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB on Tuesday. (Surveys have no bearing at this point. We prosecutors won't be swayed by that.) "Kasi parang yung election din ito, diba. Sa election, may mga surveys. Pero, I always believe na ang tunay na surveys, election day mismo. Nakita natin ito noong nakaraan na eleksiyon lang na hindi talaga tumugma 'yung naging surveys," added De Lima. (It happened last election; the pre-election surveys did not match the election results.) "Dito sa usapin ng impeachment, kailangan lang makita, malaman ng mga tao, during the presentation of evidence, kung gaano kalakas yung mga ebidensya. At siguro, kung malakas talaga ang ebidensya, magbabago yung kaisipan ng ilan o karamihan dun sa mga surveys na 'yan," explained De Lima. (When it comes to impeachment, the public just needs to know what the evidence is and the weight of such evidence. If the evidence is airtight, they will change their minds and the survey results will change.) Public opinion De Lima also said that it is premature to ask the public about the impeachment trial since the full-blown proceedings has yet to start. "Iyong totoong magiging public opinion rito is during the impeachment proceedings... as it goes along, habang pinepresent na lalo ng prosecution iyong mga ebidensiya," said De Lima. (The true public opinion will surface during the impeachment proceedings, once the evidence are presented.) According to the report on the survey conducted from May 6 to 9 nationwide among 1,200 registered voters, 28% agree with the filing of the impeachment case by the House of Representatives. The survey had an overall margin of error of ±2.8 percentage points. A copy of the report on the results has been posted on Pulse Asia's website. Twenty-one percent could not say if they agreed or disagreed. Duterte was impeached by the House of Representatives on February 5, 2025 with over 200 congressmen endorsing the complaint against her. She was accused of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and other high crimes mainly over alleged misuse of around P612.5 million worth of confidential funds and threatening to kill President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., his wife Liza and the President's cousin and Speaker, Leyte First District Rep. Martin Romualdez. The Vice President, for her part, said she is looking forward to her impeachment trial in the upcoming 20th Congress because she 'wants a bloodbath,'' noting that her legal team is on "full throttle" in their preparations. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
