Filipino Voters Expect Key National Issues to Improve After 2025 Elections
Most Filipino voters express strong optimism that key national issues will improve following the May 2025 elections. A recent survey conducted from May 2 to 6 reveals this hopeful outlook, highlighting public confidence across several critical sectors. The Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, commissioned by a respected policy research group, gathered insights from 1,800 registered voters nationwide.
Healthcare and Food Security Lead Public Optimism
Healthcare accessibility tops the list, with 84 percent of respondents expecting better services after the elections. Only 2 percent foresee a decline, resulting in a net positive score of +82. This shows a clear public desire for improved medical facilities and health programs.
Food security and agricultural growth also inspire optimism. Around 81 percent of voters believe these areas will advance, while just 3 percent expect worsening conditions, yielding a net score of +79. This points to growing confidence in efforts to ensure stable food supplies and support farmers.
Infrastructure, Climate, and Security Outlooks
Infrastructure development follows closely, with 80 percent hopeful for progress and only 3 percent concerned about setbacks, resulting in a +77 net score. Improved roads, bridges, and public utilities remain a high priority for many Filipinos.
When it comes to climate resilience and natural resource protection, 70 percent of participants anticipate enhancements, while 7 percent predict deterioration. This translates to a net optimism score of +64, reflecting growing awareness and support for environmental initiatives.
National security, particularly in the West Philippine Sea, also shows positive expectations. Sixty-seven percent believe the situation will improve, compared to 8 percent who fear it may worsen, resulting in a net score of +60. This suggests strong public interest in safeguarding territorial integrity.
Inflation Management and Survey Methodology
Managing inflation remains a concern but also a source of hope. Sixty-two percent expect better inflation control, while 8 percent foresee worsening conditions, giving a net score of +55. This indicates trust in future economic policies to address rising prices.
The survey used face-to-face interviews across Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, ensuring a broad representation of the Filipino electorate. The margin of error stands at ±2.31 percent, confirming the reliability of these findings.
