President Rodrigo Duterte is humbled with his high trust and approval ratings in the latest Pulse Asia survey, Malacañang said Friday.
“The Palace expresses its gratitude for our people’s continuing vote of confidence for President Rodrigo Roa Duterte who remains the most approved and most trusted top national official today with 88% approval and 87% trust, respectively,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.
“The President views these latest survey results with all humility; however, he is not leading the country for the sake of high or good ratings,” he added.
