ARAGONES POSTS RECORD HIGH TRUST, PERFORMANCE RATINGS IN FIRST QUARTER OF 2026

LAGUNA Governor Sol Aragones marked the first quarter of 2026 with record high trust and performance ratings.

The Pulso ng Bayan Survey conducted by Social Pulse Philippines gathered feedback from 1,000 adult residents across Laguna from March 10 to 16, revealing a 91% trust rating and an 86% performance rating.

The survey highlights widespread public confidence in the governor’s leadership and the effectiveness of provincial programs.

Residents praised several initiatives that contributed to these ratings. Improved healthcare access, strengthened hospital support, expanded social assistance programs, and ongoing infrastructure upgrades, including roads and public facilities, were recognized as major achievements.

The administration’s continued support for education through scholarships and learning programs, as well as enhanced disaster preparedness and response measures, were also highlighted as key factors in building public trust.

The survey reflects how tangible improvements in daily life, from education to public services, reinforce citizens’ confidence in leadership.

Many residents noted that the administration’s programs have meaningful, direct impacts on their communities, making governance not only visible but also relevant.

Public appreciation for Aragones’ leadership is echoed in personal testimonies.

Jon-Jon Eugenio from Los Baños said, “Deserve niyo po Gov. ang mataas na rating bunga ng inyong matinding pagnanais na paglingkuran ang lalawigan ng Laguna. Ramdam po namin ang inyong mga programang talaga namang kapakipakinabang sa lahat ng edad at walang pinipiling antas sa pamumuhay. Wag po kayong magsasawa na kami ay arugain, dahil ang inyo pong administrasyon ang siyang tunay na Gobyernong may Solusyon.”

Jeric Lato from Santa Rosa added, “Ang aming ina ng Laguna Gov Sol Aragones the Best hindi lang sa Laguna buong Pilipinas pa.”

These results serve as a testament to how inclusive, responsive, and results driven governance resonates with the public.

The high ratings also highlight the importance of sustained efforts in transparency, service delivery, and community engagement, which continue to strengthen the relationship between provincial leaders and residents.

As Laguna moves forward through 2026, the survey underscores both recognition of achievements and the ongoing expectation for programs that uplift communities, ensuring that public trust and satisfaction remain at the heart of governance.
