(UPDATE) SEVEN out of 10 Filipinos believe that the country is heading toward the right direction, a survey by OCTA Research Group has shown. In its Tugon ng Masa survey conducted from July 22 to 26, 2023, 72 percent of respondents said the Philippines is on the correct path. Only 65 percent of Visayas respondents said they were optimistic about the country's direction, a significant decline compared to March, wherein 87 percent said the country was on the right track, and 9 percent said otherwise. Class ABC, at 74 percent, was also highly optimistic of the country's direction, followed by Class D with 74 percent and Class E with 70 percent. Adult Filipinos in Class E are the highest in terms of being uncertain about the country's direction than any other socioeconomic class at 21 percent.
