FIVE government agencies were the most trusted by the public, a survey commissioned by think tank OCTA Research showed.

In the second-quarter Tugon Ng Masa (TNM) survey, the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd), Department of Education (DepEd), Philippine National Police (PNP), Department of Health (DoH), and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) topped the list of 25 government agencies in terms of performance ratings, with at least three-fourths of the 1,200 respondents saying they were satisfied with their performance.
