A combined majority of Filipinos are unconvinced that the Marcos administration has adequately confronted the alleged flood control scandal, with 43 percent saying the government acted but did too little and another 41.2 percent saying it did nothing at all, according to the latest National Momentum Survey released on July 28, 2026.
Only 10.4 percent of respondents credited the administration with doing enough. The remaining share was divided between 3.9 percent who were uncertain and 1.4 percent who declined to answer.
The discontent held even among the president’s own backers. Among those identified as Marcos supporters, 46 percent called the administration’s efforts insufficient, narrowly outnumbering the 42 percent who felt enough had been done.
Regionally, criticism ran deepest in Mindanao, where 61 percent of respondents said no genuine effort had been made to hold those responsible to account.
The poll surfaced about a year after Marcos vowed to secure accountability over alleged irregularities in government flood control projects.
Momentum Research conducted the survey from July 13 to 16, 2026, polling 1,438 respondents nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points at a 95-percent confidence level.
