Ferdinand Marcos Jr. administration developments

Overview

In late 2026, the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. faced both political challenges and policy initiatives. A Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted in September indicated a decline in the president’s net satisfaction rating to -11, placing his performance in the “poor” category. The survey noted that 46% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction, with Metro Manila recording a rating of -27.

Concurrently, the administration has been reviewing healthcare reform proposals. In a meeting with the Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) Healthcare Sector, discussions focused on increasing the affordability and accessibility of medical services. Key recommendations included expanding PhilHealth initiatives, such as the Yaman ng Kalusugan Program (YAKAP) for primary healthcare and the Guaranteed Accessible Medications for Outpatient Treatment (GAMOT) program for outpatient medicine costs.
