The AFP’s net satisfaction rating was highest in the Visayas at +93 and lowest in the National Capital Region (NCR) at +69. All adult Filipinos in the Bicol region and Zamboanga Peninsula were satisfied with the AFP’s overall accomplishments, while the lowest satisfaction ratings were found in the Ilocos Region and the NCR.
