DEPARTMENT of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Amenah Pangandaman has been recognized as one of the top-rating officials in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s Cabinet, achieving an impressive 89.4 percent performance rating in the third-quarter "Boses ng Bayan" survey by RPMD Foundation Inc., up from her 88 percent rating in the second quarter.

The independent, non-commissioned survey, conducted from Sept. 20 to 30, 2024, underscores the budget secretary's dedication to transparency, good governance and budget efficiency.

"Rankings aside, we will work even harder in pursuing fiscal reforms and strategic, open governance. This is for our countrymen," Pangandaman said.

The third-place ranking in the survey shows her role in driving initiatives that support the administration's objectives for a more progressive and resilient Bagong Pilipinas.

She follows Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos and Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian, who garnered the highest scores with 95.8 percent and 93.5 percent, respectively.

Pangandaman's leadership in enhancing public financial management and her advocacy for women's empowerment in governance have earned widespread public appreciation, making her an influential force within the DBM and beyond.

Her focus on fiscal accountability and efficient budget allocation continues to bolster the administration's vision for sustainable development, positively impacting Filipinos across the nation.

The nationwide survey gathered insights from 10,000 adults, achieving a ±1 percent margin of error and a 95 percent confidence level, providing a reliable snapshot of public sentiment across the Philippines.

The findings highlight a notable increase in approval for the administration, with all Cabinet members scoring above the passing mark — reflecting the government's commitment to transparency and effective public service.
