Pinoys Hopeful Duterte Fulfills Most of His Promises
MANILA: Six in 10 Filipinos or 63 percent believe President Duterte will fulfill most, if not all, of his promises, a recent survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) revealed.
About 22 percent said Duterte could fulfill “all or nearly all” and 41 percent said he could fulfill “most” of his promises, Philippine Star quoted a nationwide poll conducted from June 24 to 27.
Thirty two percent of respondents reportedly said they expect “a few” of the promises would be fulfilled, while only one percent said “none or almost none.”
Three percent of the respondents did not provide an answer, the SWS survey, conducted just days before Duterte took his oath of office on June 30, reportedly said.
About the SWS survey, Palace spokesman Ernesto Abella said, “Let’s hold it until we hear his deliverables. Great day.”
Last week when Duterte garnered a 91 percent trust rating in a Pulse Asia survey, Abella simply said, “It’s all part of the job.”
Belief that Duterte will fulfill most, if not all, of his promises was “high” in all geographical areas, the pollster reportedly said.
It was highest in Mindanao, Duterte’s home region, at 75 percent; followed by 66 percent in Metro Manila; 60 percent in balance Luzon and 54 percent in the Visayas region, said the news portal.
SWS reportedly said the Visayas has the highest proportion of respondents saying they expect Duterte to fulfill “a few” as well as “none or almost none” of his promises at 39 percent and six percent, respectively.
Sixty nine percent of the respondents from Class ABC, 65 percent of those in E and 63 percent of those in D believe the President can fulfill most, if not all, of his promises, reported Philippine Star.
By gender, about 65 percent of female respondents and 62 percent male respondents think Duterte can deliver on his promises.
By age, 66 percent of those aged 25-34 years old as well as those at least 55 years old shared the same view, 62 percent among those 18-24 and those 35-44 years old, and 59 percent among those 45-54 years old.
Such optimism was similarly high among respondents across levels of educational attainment, the SWS reportedly noted.
The survey used face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults nationwide and has sampling error margin of plus or minus three percentage points for national percentages and plus or minus six percentage points each for Metro Manila, balance Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, reported Philippine Star.
