Number of Filipinos who believe Duterte can fulfill promises drops

There is a drop in the number of Filipinos who believe in the capability of President Rodrigo Duterte to fulfill his promises, according to the recent Social Weather Stations survey.

One thousand five hundred adults were asked, “In your opinion, how many of the promises of Pres. Rody Duterte can be fulfilled?”

From a 52% in March, the number of adult Filipinos who believe that Duterte would fulfill most, if not all, of his promises dropped to 35%. Meanwhile, 57% of Filipinos believe that he would fulfill some while only 8% said that he would be able to accomplish almost none to none of his promises.

Malacañang on Monday said that it found “nothing unusual” in the drop of the President’s rating.

“We find nothing unusual in the drop of those who expect that he would fulfill his promises as the euphoria of the elections normally wears off after a year in office and people become more realistic on what the government can deliver,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said.
