/ 01:35 PM September 25, 2018

Malacañang on Tuesday said it is not affected by the double-digit drop in President Rodrigo Duterte’s approval and trust ratings in the September 2018 survey of Pulse Asia.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque even noted that the President’s score remains the highest among top government officials.

“The President rules because it’s his Constitutional duty, he doesn’t rule for survey results. Maraming beses na po n’yang sinabi ‘yan,” Roque said in a press briefing.

“We take note of the survey results but we’re not affected by it, because ang Presidente naman will do his best to discharge his duties as President and Commander-in-Chief,” he added.
