The Palace welcomes the result of the latest survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showing that the satisfaction rating in favor of the Duterte Administration is at 81%, or + 73, in December 2019. It is noteworthy to mention that the result reveals an “excellent” rating in all geographic areas.

As in the past surveys, the present one is a clear indication that a great majority of Filipinos believes that this transparent and responsive government, under the stewardship of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, is performing an exceptional job, particularly in the following areas of interest: helping the poor (+64); fighting terrorism (+61); developing a healthy economy (+53); reconciling with Muslim rebels (+51); and protecting the rights of the press (+50).

All Filipinos are assured that the survey finding would not cause the Duterte Administration to be complacent but instead serve as an inspiration for us to take another extra mile in rendering genuine service for our people and be a source of courage for our dedicated public servants in fighting the challenges that our country is facing today.

The President remains focused on his goal of giving every Filipino a comfortable life and creating an environment of peace and progress for the country pursuant to his oath of office and constitutional duty of serving and protecting the people, unmindful of the destructive narratives thrown to him by the incorrigible fault-finders and detractors who have been constantly repudiated by the overwhelming majority of the Filipinos as shown by surveys after surveys since the inception of his presidency.
