The latest Pulse Asia survey released on Wednesday, July 17, revealed that President Rodrigo Duterte continues to be the government official who obtained the highest approval and trust ratings.<\/p>\n

The survey, done from June 24 to 30, showed that 85 percent of its 1,200 respondents said they approve of the President’s performance, while three percent disapproved and 11 percent were undecided.<\/p>\n

This figure is just two points below the 87 percent rating he obtained in March 2019, according to the pollster.<\/p>\n

Duterte’s trust rating also remained unchanged at 85 percent. Only four percent claimed to have small or no trust in Duterte, while the other 11 percent were undecided.<\/p>\n

The President’s highest approval rating was recorded in Mindanao, where 91 percent of respondents approve of his performance although it was down by six points from the 97 percent he received in March.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the highest number of Filipinos who trust Duterte also came from his bailiwick which is at 91 percent.<\/p>\n

The same survey also found that Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo received a 55 percent approval rating and a 52 percent trust rating, while Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III got 77 percent approval rating and 73 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin garnered a 41 percent approval rating and 35 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n

Former House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, for her part, had a 26 percent approval rating and 22 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n

The latest survey, which used face-to-face interviews with its respondents, has an error margin of plus or minus 2.8 percent at the 95 percent confidence level.<\/p>\n

It was conducted a few weeks after the alleged sinking of a Filipino boat by a Chinese vessel on June 9 in Recto Bank in the West Philippine Sea, where 22 Filipino fishermen were left afloat at sea.<\/p>\n

Other news that made headlines before and during the survey period are the explosions in Barangay Kajatian, Indanan, Sulu, the call made by 11 United Nations (UN)\u00a0human rights experts to conduct an investigation into the human rights situation in the Philippines, as well as the deportation of former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario from Hong Kong, among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
