MANILA\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0—\u00a0A leader at the House of Representatives believes that the latest Pulse Asia survey showing high approval and trust ratings is \u201cundeniable proof that the public continues to hold President Rodrigo Duterte in high regard.”<\/p>\n

Duterte retained his \u201cbig majority\u201d approval and trust ratings, both at 80 percent, according to a Pulse Asia survey conducted from September 24 to 30.<\/p>\n

“The 80 percent score in both trust and approval ratings for President Rody Duterte in the latest Pulse Asia survey is no doubt the true sentiment of the general public,\u201d said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Karlo Nograles in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is another testament of how much the President is loved by a great majority of the people. The huge numbers he got in the survey are clearly an affirmation of our country’s admiration of our leader,” he added.<\/p>\n

Nograles added that Duterte\u2019s ratings have been \u201cconsistently high\u201d across all regions and classes since June.<\/p>\n

The Davao City lawmaker said the President still maintained his high ratings amid the alleged destabilization plot against the administration.<\/p>\n

Nograles was referring to issues such as Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte’s alleged links to the Bureau of Customs\u2019 illegal drug smuggling activities, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV’s claims of ill-gotten wealth on the part of the President, and the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines’ (CBCP) criticisms of the Philippine leader.<\/p>\n

“As the very high marks of President Duterte reflect the real pulse of the people on the ground, I hope this will discourage destabilizers from pursuing attempts to discredit the administration,\u201d Nograles said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people’s response is loud and clear: they continue to back Tatay Digong despite political efforts to destroy and discredit him,” he added.<\/p>\n

Nograles expressed hope that the President\u2019s high approval ratings would \u201ckeep the political stability that we enjoy, and lead us to greater heights as a nation.”<\/p>\n

“I never doubted the enormous and undying support that Filipinos continue to give to President Duterte. They know that the President is sincere in solving the country’s problems. They know that President Duterte is the leader we need in these very challenging times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nograles noted that the President will make good on his promises and perform his job to the fullest.<\/p>\n

“Rest assured that our President will repay this support by fulfilling his promises, foremost of which are defeating the drug menace and ushering in a period of prosperity in the country via federalism,” he said.<\/p>\n
