MANILA: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has suffered a “significant” drop in his approval rating as soaring consumer prices in the Philippines undermines his support, a polling organisation said on Monday.

The Pulse Asia survey, conducted from Sept 10 to 14, found 65 per cent of 1,200 respondents approved of Mr Marcos’ performance, down 15 points from 80 per cent in a June poll.
