President Bongbong Marcos Jr.’s approval ratings have dropped to a new low of 21% amid the ongoing flood control corruption scandal implicating several close allies, including former House Speaker Martin Romualdez and ex-Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.
Public dissatisfaction has surged as accusations have indirectly reached Marcos himself, undoing the temporary boost his ratings received after he announced an investigation in August.
Political analysts note that the president struggles to maintain gains against rivals like Vice President Sara Duterte, whose ratings remain steady at 43%, giving her a comfortable lead.
A WR Numero survey showed that 39% of respondents remain unaffiliated or unsure, reflecting public confusion over accountability for the corruption issues.
Experts suggest Marcos focus on enforcing reforms and safeguarding his legacy rather than attempting to regain popularity immediately.
