“The ‘very good’ +66 net satisfaction rating of the Duterte Administration is a source of inspiration and strength to the President and his entire team to double their time and energy to rid society of drugs, criminality and corruption while bringing the fruits of sustainable inclusive development down to our grassroots,” he added.

Amid the positive rating, Andanar said the result should not lull the administration into complacency.

“Let these survey results not lull us to complacency,” he said. “The President as we all know, has been elevating the consciousness of our people from the gravity of the drug problem and the threat of terrorism and lawlessness,” he added.

“This means much work has to be done and we all need to roll up our sleeves and buckle down to work and get things done,” he added. CBB/rga
