throughout 2023. These
criteria focused on their
advocacy, legislative contributions, and engagement with constituents,
providing a holistic view
of their year-long performance.
Dr. Martinez noted that a rating of 50% and
above signifies a passing
performance evaluation,
highlighting these ratings
as a direct endorsement
from constituents and a
testament to their commendable public service.
This recognition reflects
the positive impact and
appreciation of their districts.
The CALABARZON region’s survey is
part of the broader “Boses

conducted from December 27, 2023, to January
5, 2024, involving 10,000
adult participants to reflect
the views of the country’s
67.75 million registered
voters. With a rigorous
random selection method,
the survey aimed to accurately represent voter
demographics across districts, boasting a margin of
error of +/-1% and a 95%
confidence level. This meticulous approach ensures
a detailed and reliable insight into regional public
opinion. RPMD
