Noy posts 80% performance, 79% trust ratings
Manila, Philippines — A recent survey by Pulse Asia revealed that 80% of Filipinos expressed trust in P-noy while almost the same percentage were satisfied with his performance during his first three months in office. Pulse Asia’s Ulat ng Bayan Survey conducted from Oct. 20 to 29, found 79 percent of adult Filipinos approve of his performance and 80 percent of the respondents expressing trust in him.
According to Pulse Asia, the highest figures were recorded from the poorest Class E.
When asked to comment about the decline in his ratings, the President said that having skeptics and critics is just a part of his job, apart from the fact that he cannot please everybody all the time. He also partly attributed the decline to the Aug. 23 hostage crisis.
Aquino vowed that he will continue to work even more “to ensure that the numbers will grow.”
But he clarified that he is not after popularity surveys.
“Not because I’m chasing numbers but rather, I think, I’ve just been given new directions that what I am doing is on the right track and therefore we should accelerate the growth.”
