Based of the results of the Pulse Asia survey held from September 10 to 14, 56% of Filipinos disapprove and 16% approve of the government’s efforts to control inflation, while 28% are undecided.

The Marcos government obtained the lowest public approval ratings in its response to gut issues: poverty reduction (29% in September from 43% in June), increasing workers’ pay (41% from 52%), and fight against corruption (45%), creating more jobs (43% from 53%), and addressing involuntary hunger (46%).

Political analyst, Richard Heydarian, can vouch for Pulse Asia. Whether people admit it or not, Filipinos simply are not very politically literate and are bobotantes. Arroyo, Padilla, Marcoses, Binays and Estradas are still in power in spite of brazen corruption. We, as the public, should support initiatives to educate the masses. Because the oligarchs are intentionally dumbing the people.
