Can Philippines’ Marcos Jnr recover from lower approval ratings by leaning closer to the US?
The president’s approval and trust ratings plunged by 13 percentage points and 16 percentage points to 55 per cent and 57 per cent, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024, according to a non-commissioned quarterly survey by Pulse Asia. The results were a reversal from the fourth quarter of last year when his ratings rose marginally.
