The AFP’s quick response to calamities and disasters, and their victory against the Maute group in Marawi City on May 2017 has gained the confidence of the Filipinos in its performance.

In general, Luzon has given a satisfaction rating of 76 percent, while Visayas, Mindanao and Metro Manila have given 81 percent satisfaction rating.
