Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's approval ratings edged lower due to public dissatisfaction over his government's handling of inflation, but he remains popular, an opinion poll showed on Wednesday.

The Pulse Asia survey found that 78% of 1,200 respondents polled in March approved of Marcos' performance, lower than the 82% he got in November, while 80% said they trusted the president, down from 83% in an earlier poll.
