A large majority of adult Filipinos are willing to fight for their country should a conflict erupt with a foreign enemy, pollster OCTA Research reported Sunday.

Seventy-seven percent, or three of four Filipinos, expressed their willingness to fight for the country, based on the December 2023 Fourth Quarter Tugon ng Masa (TNM) Survey.

According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by GMA Integrated News reporter Joseph Morong, OCTA Research said the survey was commissioned by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

At least 60%, or six of 10 respondents, are willing to fight across major study areas. Mindanao posted the highest rate at 84%, while the lowest percentage was seen in the Visayas at 62%.

Among socioeconomic classes, respondents in Class D were the most willing at 80%. Class E and Class ABC respondents were nearly tied at 68% and 67%, respectively.

The study was conducted from Dec. 10 to 14 last year using a sample size of 1,200 adult Filipinos with a ±3% margin of error. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
