President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. registered his lowest net satisfaction rating to date, based on the First Quarter 2026 Social Weather Report.

From -3 in November 2025, the rating went down to -15 in March 2026.

Members of the House minority bloc said the steep decline comes as no surprise, citing the mounting problems and controversies hounding the Marcos Jr. administration — chief among them, the alleged massive corruption involving the government's flood control projects.

House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. Antonio Tinio said the rating reflects the public's verdict on the administration's anti-corruption efforts.

"Pinapakita ang husga ng publiko, walang anumang credibility yung kaniyang so-called anti-corruption campaign, yung mga pangako niyang malaking isda, nasaan na? At more than that, alam ng publiko, siya mismo ang sangkot kaya talagang hindi niya madiinan yung mga kasabwat niya dito sa pagpapatupad ng massive flood control corruption," Tinio said. 

(It shows the judgment of the public — there is no credibility in his so-called anti-corruption campaign. His promises of going after the big fish, where are they now? And more than that, the public knows he himself is involved, which is why he really cannot crack down on his cohorts in the implementation of the massive flood control corruption.)

For his part, Kamanggagawa Partylist Rep. Eli San Fernando pointed out that the President has failed to deliver on the public's key concerns, including lowering the prices of basic goods, raising wages, and generating more jobs.

Malacañang, meanwhile, appeared unfazed by the President's declining numbers.

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said the figures will only push the government to work harder.

"Tumaas, bumaba, patuloy ang Pangulo sa pagta-trabaho at pagbibigay ng good governance," Castro said. (Whether it goes up or down, the President continues to work and to provide good governance.)
