(Eagle News Service) — Vice President Leni Robredo’s net satisfaction rating took the biggest dip among government officials’ ratings that declined in the latest Social Weather Stations survey.

From a net satisfaction rating of +37  in December last year,  Robredo’s rating slid to +26 in the March survey.

The survey was conducted from March 25 to 28, using face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide.

Of the 1200, 300 each came from Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Sampling error margins were pegged at ±3% for national percentages, and ±6% each for the four areas.

Robredo was followed by Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, whose +16 net satisfaction rating in December dropped two points, to +14.

Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III ranked third, after his net satisfaction rating in December, +30, dropped one point, to +29.

Only Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez saw his rating go up in the latest survey–from +10 in December, to +12 in the latest survey.

The SWS classifies as “excellent” a +70 and above; as “very good” a +50 to +69; as “good” a +30 to +49; as “moderate” a +10 to +29; as “neutral” a +9 to -9; as “poor” a -10 to -29; as “bad” a -30 to -49; as “very bad” a -50 to -69; and as “execrable” a -70 and below.

Days before the survey, a video of Robredo dishing out criticisms against President Rodrigo Duterte’s drug surfaced online.

At one point in the video, she said that the war had left “people helpless and hopeless.”

She also described what she said was a palit-ulo scheme that sees members of the family of a drug suspect being arrested if he or she was not at home when authorities arrived.

The Philippine National Police has denied that such a scheme existed.

The video had been shown in a side-event to a United Nations event in Vienna, Austria.
