Malacañang was exalted with the results of the First Quarter 2019 survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showing a new record-high of +72 net satisfaction rating or 81 percent satisfaction rating for the Duterte Administration.
This is the highest rating received by any administration since the SWS started such survey in February 1989.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo said that they glad that “our people appreciate the current government’s efforts in fighting poverty as this specific issue got the highest rating, along with other issues like reconstructing Marawi City as well as fighting terrorism.”
Panelo also noted that this shows that the efforts of this Administration in serving the nation and the Filipinos are starting to bear fruit.
“Our countrymen’s towering satisfaction in favor of our hardships and attainments is a hard slap on the face of the opposition and our detractors who, from day one, never gave the leadership of President Duterte a chance to show them his competence in administering the nation’s affairs. While they continue with their political offensives against us, we endlessly grind for our nation’s interests and betterment. And as we have repeatedly said, they can always do their worst and we will do our best,” Panelo said.
The Palace spokesman reiterated Palace’s call to opposition and critics of the administration to stop unleashing negative forces against the government, instead should contribute to the nation-building.
