He received a net satisfaction rating of +42, classified as “good.”
Compared to September 2024, Escudero’s net satisfaction decreased by five points from +47.
Speaker Martin Romualdez, on the other hand, received a “neutral” +9 net satisfaction rating—also his lowest yet—with 40 percent satisfied, 31 percent dissatisfied, and 23 percent undecided.
His net rating fell by 11 points from the “moderate” +20 in September 2024.
