The House of Representatives, under the leadership of Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, has emerged as the highest-rated legislative body in the country, according to the latest survey conducted by market research firm Tangere (Acquisition Apps Inc.).
In its May 2025 national survey on public satisfaction with key government institutions, Tangere reported that Congress received a satisfaction rating of 55.7%.
Romualdez welcomed the survey results as a clear affirmation of the House’s commitment to enacting laws that address the urgent needs of the Filipino people.
“This is a vote of confidence from our people. It tells us that the House of the People is delivering real results — affordable rice, housing for the poor, irrigation for farmers, better healthcare for children,” he said.
“We draw strength from the people’s trust, and we will repay it with honest, hard work,” he added.
The Speaker also emphasized the importance of legislative-executive alignment in achieving sustained public satisfaction.
He credited the high marks not only to the House’s independent initiatives but also to its strong support for the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“Under the President’s leadership, we are aligned in building a Bagong Pilipinas. This unity of purpose is key to the steady progress we are seeing across all branches of government,” he noted.
The Tangere survey showed that satisfaction with the executive branch rose to 61.8%, driven by recent economic interventions and social programs.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines received a combined average satisfaction rating of 60%, with all three service branches — Army, Navy, and Air Force — posting consistently high scores.
Meanwhile, the Senate showed a modest improvement in its rating, while the Office of the Vice President — currently facing an impeachment trial — was rated at 48.4%.
Romualdez stressed that while survey numbers are encouraging, the true measure of performance lies in tangible reforms and the impact of legislation on the everyday lives of Filipinos.
“Surveys come and go, but public service must remain consistent. Our focus is not popularity — it is performance,” he said.
The Tangere survey was conducted from May 8 to 9, using stratified random sampling with 1,500 respondents nationwide and a margin of error of ±2.48%.
