DAVAO CITY – President Duterte said Friday he did not care if his satisfaction rating would go down as long as it was not due to corruption.

Duterte was reacting to survey results, which showed him suffering an 11 percent drop in satisfaction in Balance Luzon and Metro Manila.

But overall, the President’s nationwide rating remained high at +56.

Speaking to reporters here on his arrival from China and Hong Kong, Duterte said he made promises during the campaign and he was going to fulfill it, even if his rating fell to “negative 10.”

These included massive campaigns against illegal drugs, criminality and corruption.
