MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday thanked the public for supporting President Rodrigo Duterte after a survey showed that he received high performance and trust ratings amid the prevailing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

The recent Pulse Asia survey, conducted from Sept. 14 to 20, showed that Duterte received a 91 percent performance rating and a 91 percent trust rating in the middle of the health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cNagpapasalamat po kami sa taong-bayan dahil sa pinakabagong<\/em>\u00a0survey\u00a0ng<\/em>\u00a0Pulse Asia,\u00a0binigyan po ng<\/em>\u00a091 percent trust rating\u00a0si Pangulong<\/em>\u00a0Rodrigo Roa Duterte\u00a0at<\/em>\u00a091 percent\u00a0din sa<\/em>\u00a0performance rating (We thank the public because in the latest Pulse Asia survey, the President received a 91 percent trust rating and 91 percent performance rating),\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a virtual presser from Boracay.<\/p>\n

Roque said the President will continue to work to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 in the lives of Filipinos and set aside politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng pangako po talaga ng Presidente gagawin niya ang lahat para makabangon po tayo sa pandemiyang ito. At isasantabi po talaga niya ang politika<\/em>\u00a0(The President\u2019s promise is he will do everything to rise from the pandemic and he will set aside politics),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said other politicians should follow suit and learn to prioritize the needs of the citizens severely affected by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cLahat po ng Pilipino<\/em>, supporter\u00a0niya, kalaban niya, iaahon po niya hangga\u2019t maari sa kahirapan na dinulot ng pandemiya. Ang panawagan po ulit ng Presidente sa lahat ng politiko, isantabi muna natin \u2018yan,<\/em>\u00a02022\u00a0pa po \u2018yan, tulungan natin ang ating mga kababayan<\/em>\u00a0(He will help all Filipinos, his supporters, his enemies, rise from poverty brought about by the pandemic. The President\u2019s request is that all politicians should set aside politics, worry about it in 2022, let\u2019s help our citizens first),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Roque, Duterte\u2019s high performance rating could be attributed to the President\u2019s determination to slow down the spread of the virus without politicking.<\/p>\n

\u201cTingin ko gusto ng taumbayan na hindi namumulitika sa panahon ng pandemya. Nakikita naman nila na ginagawa ng Presidente ang lahat ng pupuwedeng gawin para mas kakaunting mga Pilipino magkakasakit ng<\/em>\u00a0Covid-19 (I think people don\u2019t like politicking during the pandemic. They can see that the President is doing everything necessary so that fewer Filipinos contract Covid-19),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque also took a swipe at Vice President Leni Robredo for her lower performance and trust ratings at 57 percent and 50 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cNaku, madam<\/em>\u00a0VP\u00a0mukhang tama ang aking sinabi. Mukhang ayaw ata ng Pilipino namumulitika sa panahon ng pandemiya<\/em>\u00a0(Madam VP, I guess I\u2019m right. It seems like Filipinos disapprove of politicking in the middle of a pandemic),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He advised Robredo to stop politicking as it may help boost her chances of receiving higher performance and trust ratings.<\/p>\n

\u201cSubukan po natin itigil ang pulitika baka po tumaas ng mas mataas sa<\/em>\u00a050 percent\u00a0ang<\/em>\u00a0trust rating\u00a0at mas mataas pa po sa<\/em>\u00a057 percent\u00a0ang<\/em>\u00a0performance rating (Let\u2019s try to stop politicking, perhaps your trust rating would go higher than 50 percent and your performance rating higher than 57 percent),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Last month, Roque criticized Robredo for being \u201cblind and deaf\u201d to the national government\u2019s efforts after she claimed that there is a lack of system and cohesive plan in the government\u2019s Covid-19 response.<\/p>\n

The Pulse Asia survey showed that only 5 percent of Filipinos disapproved of Duterte\u2019s performance while 5 percent were undecided. Likewise, only 3 percent did not trust the President while 6 percent were undecided.<\/p>\n

Robredo had a 22 percent disapproval rating while 21 were undecided and 22 percent did not trust her while 28 percent were undecided.<\/p>\n

Other top national officials who were rated were Senate President Vicente Sotto III, House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, and Supreme Court Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta.<\/p>\n

Sotto got an 84 percent performance rating and a 79 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n

Amid the House speakership row, House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano received a 70 percent performance rating and 67 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n

Only Peralta failed to obtain a majority approval score with a 44 percent performance rating and a 39 percent trust rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
