(Eagle News) — Presidential Communications Operations Secretary Martin Andanar believes that media plays an important role in the high trust and performance ratings.
In his message during the recent press gathering in Cebu City, Andanar expressed his gratitude to the members of the media for delivering objective news and information to the public.
He said Malacañang is also grateful for the continuous reporting of the media regarding the government’s accomplishments and programs to the public.
“Sa ato mga taga-media, wala man gyud tay weekend (We do not really have weekends in the media industry) nor holidays … but I am really proud of you, my colleagues because you understand the meaning of public service. Salamat sa pagbabahagi ng mga accomplishment ng Pangulo (Thank you for sharing the President’s accomplishments),” Andanar said.
Based on the recent trust ratings survey, Pres. Duterte’s rating of approval and satisfaction went even higher.
A Pulse Asia survey conducted from Dec. 14 to 21, which was released Friday, showed that President even gained a 76 percent trust score and an 81 percent performance rating in the last quarter of 2018.
This score is up four percent from his 72 percent trust score in September last year, and up six percent from the previous 75 percentage performance score last quarter.
