KAITHREEN CRUZ

THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and Commission on Elections (Comelec) got the highest approval rating among government agencies at 72, 69 and 66 percent, respectively, the PUBLiCUS Pahayag Second Quarter survey showed.

These agencies also received the highest trust rating — AFP at 63 percent, Tesda at 60 percent and Comelec at 58 percent.

Other agencies that received an approval rating of 60 percent and above were the Department of Public Works and Highways, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and the Department of Tourism at 62 percent each, and the Commission on Higher Education at 61 percent.

They were followed by the Department of Foreign Affairs with 57 percent; the Senate with 56 percent; Department of Labor and Employment, 56 percent; Department of Trade and Industry, 56 percent; Department of Transportation, 56 percent; Department of Environment and Natural Resources, 55 percent; Philippine National Police, 54 percent; House of Representatives, 53 percent;

Department of Education (DepEd), 53 percent; Department of the Interior and Local Government, 53 percent; Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), 53 percent; Supreme Court, 52 percent; National Economic and Development Authority, 52 percent; Department of Agriculture, 51 percent; Department of Finance, 50 percent; and Department of Health (DoH), 50 percent.

The agencies that got the highest disapproval rating were DoH at 24 percent, DepEd at 19 percent and BSP at 18 percent.

“All other agencies generally fared reasonably well, with the lowest-rated agencies still managing to receive total approval ratings that outstripped their total disapproval ratings,” PUBLiCUS noted.

“All government agencies tested on our survey appear to be at least moderately trustworthy in the eyes of respondents, [as] no agency registered a total low trust rating that was higher than their total high trust rating,” the pollster’s executive director, Atty. Aureli Sinsuat, said in a message to The Manila Times.

PUBLiCUS conducted the survey from June 16 to 22, 2022 among 1,500 registered Filipino voters randomly sampled by US-based panel marketplace PureSpectrum.

Results of the survey have a ±3 percent margin of error.
