THE UNIVERSITY of Mindanao-Institute of Popular Opinion (UM-IPO) conducted an online survey from Jan. 9-26, 2026, targeting 1,200 Davaoeños from the three districts to describe their satisfaction with the basic services provided by the City Government of Davao. The survey measured Davaoeños` perception by asking whether they were satisfied, not satisfied, or undecided regarding the services they had availed. Similarly, among the top five basic services are those directly supporting education and social welfare, such as Davao City Library Services (71.8%), Bus System (65.2%), and Cedula Application (63.1%). Also, health programs such as Lingap Program (60.0%), support services to PWDs (58.7%), and medical and health services (56.5%) were among the basic services that received a higher positive satisfaction net score. Notably, the traffic management system stands out with a negative net satisfaction score of 19.5%, attributed to a majority of residents (54.3%) reporting dissatisfaction.
