President Rodrigo Duterte is grateful for the latest Pulse Asia survey results as it showed his highest public trust and approval ratings so far, Malacañang said Friday.
“The Palace expresses its gratitude for our people’s continuing vote of confidence for President Rodrigo Roa Duterte who remains the most approved and most trusted top national official today with 88% approval and 87% trust, respectively,” Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said.
But despite reaping a favorable result from Filipinos nationwide, Duterte’s spokesman stressed that the President is not working solely to gain these high ratings.
“The President views these latest survey results with all humility; however, he is not leading the country for the sake of high or good ratings,” Roque said. He added that the Chief Executive is simply fulfilling the promises he made during his campaign with the best interest of Filipinos in mind.
Moreover, Roque said the president is inclined “to work double time to rid society of drugs, criminality, and corruption to achieve his goal of bringing comfortable life for all.”
