Pulse Asia Conducts Survey on Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, Pres. Bongbong Marcos Public Trust
SARA DUTERTE – The Vice President’s trust ratings decreased based on Pulse Asia survey results while Pres. Bongbong Marcos’ rating gained.
From time to time, public opinion polling bodies like the Pulse Asia Research Incorporated conduct survey to determine the percentage results over certain matters like the trust ratings of some government officials. The target of these survey are usually the trust and performance ratings of the president and the vice president.
In April, it was reported that the trust rating of Pres. Bongbong Marcos declined based on the OCTA Survey. The Chief Executive saw it constructively saying that he draws inspiration from it.
Recently, Pulse Asia Research Incorporated conducted a survey that revealed a gain on the trust rating of Pres. Bongbong Marcos. However, based on a report on Inquirer, the survey found a decline in the trust rating of Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.
Based on the report, the survey conducted by Pulse Asia Research Incorporated had 1,200 registered voters as the respondents. It was conducted from May 6 to May 9.
Based on the report, the trust rating of Vice Pres. Sara Duterte declined from 45% in April to 42% in May 2025. On the other hand, the trust rating of Pres. Bongbong Marcos increased from 29% in April to 32% in May of the current year.
Previously, amid a decline in the results of surveys, Malacañang stressed that Pres. Bongbong Marcos is not affected by the results of surveys. According to the Palace, regardless of the outcomes in surveys, the Chief Executive will continue to do what is right.
It is no secret to the Filipinos that there is an ongoing feud between Pres. Bongbong Marcos and Vice Pres. Sare Duterte. The Vice President previously claimed that her decision to leave the Department of Education and the Marcos cabinet stemmed from both personal and work reasons.
The soured relationship between Marcos Jr. and Duterte was even more triggered by the arrest of former Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte in March 11. The President was blamed for allowing the arrest of his predecessor as well as the transfer of his custody to the International Criminal Court.
Recently, following the 2025 Elections, Pres. Bongbong Marcos said he is open to reconcile with the Duterte family.
