MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday welcomed with humility the latest Pulse Asia survey showing that 87 percent of Filipinos still trust the President\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

According to Pulse Asia\u2019s June 2018 survey, Duterte also registered his highest approval rating of 88 percent, two years after his overwhelming victory in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President views these latest survey results with all humility. However, he is not leading the country for the sake of high or good ratings,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Roque said the Chief Executive is simply fulfilling his campaign promises \u201cwith the best interest of Filipinos in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPRRD is working double time to rid society of drugs, criminality and corruption to achieve his goal of bringing comfortable life for all,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque also expressed gratitude to the Filipino people\u2019s \u201ccontinuing vote of confidence\u201d for the President.<\/p>\n

Duterte\u2019s political allies, former Senate president Aquilino \u201cKoko\u201d Pimentel III and House of Representatives Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez also got high scores in the survey.<\/p>\n

Pimentel received a 72-percent approval and 64-percent trust ratings while Alvarez also has a high trust score of 87 percent, but with only a 47-percent approval rating.<\/p>\n

Vice President Leni Robredo, meanwhile, also got high scores of 62-percent approval and 57-percent trust ratings, both lower than the Chief Executive\u2019s ratings.<\/p>\n

The Pulse Asia survey came out a day after Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena reportedly said his government would replicate the \u201csuccess\u201d of the Duterte administration\u2019s war on drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that it is not only the Sri Lankan who believed the President (Duterte) but more than 88 percent of the Filipinos really admire our President,\u201d Roque said in an interview over state-run Radyo Pilipinas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Pulse Asia 88 percent, all time high of any President. So it is not really surprising that even in Sri Lanka, the President has a fan,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
