President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. hopes investigations into corruption within the government will continue even after his term ends, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said.
According to Castro, the President wants the public to see that his administration is actively addressing abuses in government.
She said the campaign against corruption is a key priority that Marcos intends to leave as a lasting effort beyond his presidency.
Castro made the remarks following the release of a Pulse Asia Ulat ng Bayan survey covering the first quarter of 2026.
The survey showed that 28.6 percent of respondents cited Marcos’ anti corruption efforts as their main reason for trusting him.
Other reasons for trust included the delivery of aid to disaster affected communities at 12.4 percent and programs aimed at improving living conditions at 10.9 percent.
However, the same survey found that 16.7 percent of respondents pointed to perceived shortcomings in addressing corruption as their top reason for distrust. Concerns over unfulfilled promises and performance followed.
A significant portion of respondents, 39.3 percent, remained undecided, citing the President’s perceived difficulty in managing rising prices of basic goods.
