MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Thursday expressed confidence that President Rodrigo Duterte will sustain his high approval and trust ratings until the end of his term in 2022.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made this remark after a recent Pulse Asia Survey showed that Duterte remained the government official with the highest approval and trust ratings, both at 85 percent.<\/p>\n

The survey was conducted weeks after Filipinos have been preoccupied by news on the alleged ramming and abandonment of a Filipino fishing boat in the Recto Bank (Reed Bank) by a Chinese vessel on June 9.<\/p>\n

“Every time na that issue is raised,\u00a0binabanatan siya ng husto. Pero\u2014eh iyong<\/em>\u00a0survey\u00a0na iyan kinuha iyan<\/em>\u00a0at the height of the Reed Bank incident. So factored\u00a0na iyon doon sa mga tinanungan<\/em>\u00a0(Every time that issue is raised, he’s being badly criticized. But the survey was conducted at the height of the Reed Bank incident. So that is factored in the questions),” Panelo said in a Palace media briefing.<\/p>\n

Panelo said the survey should \u201cawaken the critics and the detractors from their slumber and\/or sleep, that all the criticisms against this President relative to drugs vis-\u00e0-vis the West Philippine Sea and other issues of national interest are all wrong \u2013 no basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the opposition\u2019s warning that Duterte\u2019s ratings would eventually drop, Panelo said the chief executive\u2019s ratings continue to skyrocket.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor every issue that is thrown at him with such negative force, the detractors and the opposition keep saying the rating will go down. But the more they say that, the more it goes up,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that is not a powerful language to them, I don\u2019t know what is not,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Panelo said he was not surprised by Duterte\u2019s high approval and trust rating given the number of his accomplishments as the country\u2019s top leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot surprising. It keeps on increasing, simply because the President is a very transparent leader, his political will shows in every measure or step he has undertaken; it shows how sincere he is, and the people are satisfied with his method of governance,\u201d Panelo said.<\/p>\n

Like Panelo, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar said Duterte\u2019s high approval and trust rating reflected the public\u2019s perception on the promise of change amid criticism from the opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNararamdaman talaga ng publiko ang mga pagbabago sa bansa natin — ang sinsiridad, ang malasakit ng ating mahal na Pangulo<\/em>\u00a0(The public can really feel the change in our country \u2013t he sincerity, the concern of our dear President),\u201d Andanar said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaya kahit anong banat ng mga kalaban natin sa pulitika, dito man sa loob ng Pilipinas o sa labas ng Pilipinas, ay taliwas yung mga kritisismo sa gingawa ng ating gabinete at ng ating mahal na Pangulo<\/em>\u00a0(The criticism coming from his political enemies here in the Philippines or outside the Philippines is contrary to what the Cabinet and our President is doing),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Andanar further said no other President has achieved the feat of maintaining high approval and trust ratings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWala na yatang ibang pangulo sa bansa natin na sa pagpasok ng ika-apat na taon ay ganoon pa rin kataas, at lalong tumataas<\/em>\u00a0(No other President in the country has achieved ratings this high upon entering his fourth year in office),\u201d Andanar said.<\/p>\n

Apart from the Pulse Asia survey, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey earlier this month also showed a record-high rating for President Duterte, with 80 percent of Filipinos satisfied with his performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
