Filipino adults rate the Marcos administration less favorably in September 2026, with a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showing the government’s net satisfaction score falling to -4. The rating declines by 5 points from +1 recorded in June, and it remains in SWS’s “neutral” band.

SWS reports the September figure is the second-lowest net satisfaction for the Marcos administration, following a record-low “poor” rating in March 2026. One outlet also breaks down responses into shares satisfied, dissatisfied, and neither, describing a growing dissatisfaction level compared with satisfaction.

Across the coverage, outlets frame the story primarily around the net satisfaction drop and its ranking within the administration’s trend. While the core measure and timing are consistent, some reports emphasise the headline net score and its “neutral” classification, while another highlights the specific percentage breakdown of dissatisfied versus satisfied respondents.
