Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s trust rating rebounded from the lowest level since he assumed office, but remained weak in the southern Mindanao island, former leader Rodrigo Duterte’s stronghold.

Marcos’ net satisfaction rating rose seven points to +27 from +20 in March, according to a nationwide survey by Social Weather Stations of 1,500 adults from June 23 to July 1. All areas and age groups gave him net positive ratings.
