DAVAO CITY (September 9) — The recent trust rating survey rating of President Rodrigo Duterte dropped by eight points compared to the March survey,  but the Social  Weather Station said it remains “very good”.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a press statement on Saturday said,  “We thank our people for their continuing vote of confidence for President Rodrigo Roa Duterte during this challenging time,”

In the Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey conducted from June 27 to 30, Duterte scored 57 percent in the second quarter of 2018, eight points lower than the 65-percent net trust score last March.

Some 70 percent of adult Filipinos had “much trust” for Duterte, 13 percent had “little trust”, and 18 percent were “undecided,” the survey showed.

This gives the Duterte presidency an average net trust rating of a very good +69 so far.

“The Palace views the latest survey results with humility. However, we have to take note that regardless of ratings, the President remains focused on his job of governing the nation,” Roque added.-NewsLine.ph
