Malacañang has welcomed the results of a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, which showed a high satisfaction rating on the national administration.
“We welcome the latest results of the Third Quarter 2015 Social Weather Stations survey, which shows gross satisfaction with the national administration rising from 55 percent last June to 59 percent, and dissatisfaction falling from 24 percent to 22 percent,” Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
“This follows a succession of positive news about the administration, including reform-led improvements in our country’s ratings in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Competitiveness Report and the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) report. Compared to other administrations, the Aquino government has enjoyed historically high satisfaction ratings—the highest, in fact, in the recorded history of the SWS,” he added.
The Palace official said the Aquino administration’s good performance in various surveys is the result of a platform rooted in service and integrity.
“These positive results reaffirm our platform rooted in service and integrity—one that pursues widespread reform and ensures that the benefits of progress reach all Filipinos, regardless of their location, profession, or status in life. This is what we call inclusive growth. This is what we call Daang Matuwid,” said Lacierda.
He also reminded the public to vote wisely in the 2016 elections.
“With the 2016 referendum on Daang Matuwid coming up, it will once again be time for us to choose our collective destiny: whether we will return to an abusive system or together take Daang Matuwid to the next level,” he said.
The SWS survey, conducted on September 2 to 5 among 1,200 adults nationwide, found 59 percent of the respondents satisfied, 18 percent undecided, and 22 percent dissatisfied with the national government’s general performance. PND (jm)
