The government is motivated to continue working to achieve a “peaceful and prosperous nation” following President Rodrigo Duterte’s record-high “excellent” rating, Malacañang said Thursday.
“We are elated with the latest Social Station survey showing an excellent satisfaction rating of the Duterte administration at +70,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a televised press briefing in Albay.
The SWS survey from December 8 to 16 showed 79 percent of Filipinos were “satisfied” with the Duterte administration’s performance, nine percent were “dissatisfied,” while 12 percent were undecided.

The +70 net satisfaction rating of Duterte surpassed the record achieved by former president Benigno Aquino III in June 2013.
“It is also the highest net satisfaction rating received by any administration in the last 28 years,” Roque said.
The Palace official said Malacañang was also elated for the public’s “very good” rating of the government’s performance on key issues.
“Our people recognized the efforts of the Duterte administration when they rated the present government very good in fighting terrorism, helping the poor and building and maintenance of public works, foreign relations and providing jobs,” he said.
“Meaning to say, this excellent public confidence will continue to motivate the President and his team to continue working hard to lay down the foundation of a peaceful and prosperous nation,” he added. /je
