2025 has been a good yearFor two reasons: one, the largest act of corruption of the past 10 years was exposed, by no less than the President, Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. Remarkably, inflation was halved, from 3.4 percent in January-September 2024 to just 1.7 percent in January-September 2025. The idea of her assuming the presidency does not reassure the nation.”Isn’t Sara supposed to have a higher trust rating, 56 percent, than BBM, 34 percent in the December 2025 Pulse Asia survey? But Sara’s 56 percent is skewed by her 95 percent (from 97 in September) trust rating in Mindanao. In NCR, Sara has 44 percent trust rating; balance of Luzon, 35 and Visayas 68 (up from 56 in September 2025), because she went to Cebu after an earthquake and massive floods that devastated the island, prompting Cebuanos to perceive her as a concerned official.
