According to a December 2025 Pulse Asia survey, 59 % of Filipinos identified inflation (rising prices of basic goods and services) as one of their top three urgent concerns. 48 % also cited fighting graft and corruption as a major issue. Other concerns included raising workers’ wages (39 %) and reducing poverty (22 %).
Recent global rankings show that in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index, the Philippines scored 32 out of 100 and ranked 120th out of 182 countries, its worst result so far, indicating high perceived corruption compared to global and regional averages.
Surveys show that public concern about corruption has surged: in late 2025, 31 % of adult Filipinos said fighting corruption was one of their top three national problems — a sharp rise from 13 % earlier in the year.
Additionally, a Pahayag 2025 survey found 81 % of Filipinos believe corruption has worsened since Martial Law was declared, showing deep public frustration.
The 2025 World Press Freedom Index showed some improvement in ranking (from 134th to 116th position), but the overall situation for journalists is still categorized as “difficult”, with serious legal and economic challenges for the media.
Large public protests erupted in 2025 after allegations surfaced that billions of pesos allocated for flood-control and infrastructure projects were misused or not built at all. In some demonstrations, over 200,000 people participated to demand transparency and accountability.
Surveys show issues like job creation, poverty reduction, crime and illegal drugs, and environmental protection also rank among public concerns, though at lower levels than inflation and corruption. For example, one survey found that 22 % of respondents flagged crime and illegal drugs as a priority issue.
