The SWS September 2026 survey recorded a net satisfaction rating of +23 for VP Sara’s defense, compared with –5 for the prosecution.
It’s not only the Duterte effect. The defense really outperformed the prosecution in the court.
That was poor decision making on Leni’s part, publicly brandishing the ₱500 million from BBM, only to find it wasn’t enough. It may well become her Sword of Damocles.
Cielo Magno needs a more creative, compelling campaign because, at this point, the punchline practically writes itself:
“Mag-NO kay Cielo sa 2028.”
What PCO Cayetano should do is be honest and listen to the public pulse, admit the government’s failings, and commit to do better for the rest of BBM’s term. But of course, he won’t, just like his boss.
Imagine, Cayetano is now the 6th PCO secretary. This suggests a deep crack in this admin’s communications strategy, a wide gap between gov’t and the people, something that, I’m afraid, Lino will not be able to fix.
Ginawang open at transparent daw ang bicam, pero may unconstitutional provisions pa rin ang GAA 2026. Sino pa ba ang pwedeng asahan?
Sayang talaga si Dizon. He’s been weakened by the systemic corruption in the DPWH. He should have just stayed at the DOTr.
It’s too late. A late-term cabinet reshuffle (Dizon back to DOTr, Lopez to DPWH) won’t lift Marcos Jr.’s negative performance ratings. The public has already judged this admin.
Could this regime be exploiting tensions with China to justify authoritarian measures that would extend its hold on power? I hope not.
What a sham! There’s no local warrant, only an ICC warrant. Yet the Filipino people are the ones footing the bill for the largest reward in the country’s history!
How can we trust Congress to get the 2027 budget right when the GAAs for the past three years have been defective? And then this president is just going to sign it again?
