The non-commissioned survey of OCTA Research showed that on September 30 to October 4, 2023, only 14% of adult Filipinos said that they were satisfied with the actions undertaken by the national government.

But twenty-nine percent also said that they were content with the government’s efforts to reduce poverty.

Meanwhile, 34% said that they were okay with its hunger reduction efforts.

The survey also said that Filipinos rated the the government’s performance in fighting graft and corruption in the government (43%); reducing the amount of taxes (45%); controlling population growth (46%);  stopping the spread of illegal drugs (47%); and ensuring food security or access to affordable food (48%).

But 72% of adult Filipinos said they were most satisfied with the national government’s efforts in providing quality primary and secondary education.
