(Eagle News)–The Palace on Friday, Dec. 28, welcomed a recent Social Weather Stations survey that said 74 percent of Filipinos were satisfied with President Rodrigo Duterte’s performance in the last quarter of 2018, calling the results a “slap” on the faces of critics.
In a statement, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the President’s consistent strong showing in the survey “puts a lie to critics and detractors who find nothing good in his style of governance.”
“The support of the Filipinos for our Chief Executive also sends a strong message to foreign human rights groups and foreign governments to put a stop to their baseless and unkind accusations on his war on drugs,” Panelo said.
“In addition the survey result is a slap on their faces for their outrageous intrusion on the sovereignty of our country,” he added.
He said the “approbation of a great majority of our people” only encouraged the President to “continue waging battles against all forms of criminality and corruption.”
The SWS said President Duterte’s net satisfaction rating rose to a very good in the last quarter of 2018, with his rating up in Metro Manila, the Visayas and Luzon; in all socio-economic classes; and among high school and college students.
