MANILA \u2013 Senate President Franklin Drilon on Monday said the improved trust ratings of President Benigno Aquino III will boost the President\u2019s endorsement value in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n

\u201dHe has big endorsement value because the President regained the trust of the people,\u201d Drilon said in a radio dzRH interview.<\/p>\n

Based on the Pulse Asia survey held from March 30 to June 5, the President\u2019s performance rating improved to 54 percent from 38 percent last March while his trust approval rating increase to 50% from record-low 36 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201dIf we will look at history of the trust ratings, perhaps this is the highest trust rating on the last year of the incumbent presidency,\u201d Drilon said.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis showed that the President has regained the trust of the people since the Mamasapano incident,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Drilon acknowledged that the President has mishandled the Mamasapano incident when he allowed then suspended Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Alan Purisima to participate in the operation to get international terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir or alias Marwan.<\/p>\n

\u201dBut by and large, I think, the President\u2019s \u2018daang matuwid\u2019 policy has contributed a lot of benefits for our countrymen,\u201d Drilon said.<\/p>\n

Drilon hopes that President Aquino will endorse Interior Secretary Mar Roxas as standard bearer of the ruling Liberal Party (LP) in the 2016 national elections.<\/p>\n

Drilon is the third most trusted government official with 45 percent behind Vice President Jejomar Binay, who is the most trusted, and President Aquino.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte is in fourth with 28 percent followed by Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno got 27 percent, according to the survey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
