It
was expected and not surprising that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has the
continuing trust of Filipinos to their Chief Executive.
Employees
working closely with the Chief Executive can attest the works he clocks in, day
in and day out that has translated to being the most trusted government
official based on the latest survey released by Pulse Asia, and presidential
spokesman and presidential legal counsel Atty.Salvador Panelo said it is “not
surprising.”

Panelo also said Duterte’s consistent high approval and trust
ratings are proof of the people’s confidence in him “despite the criticisms
thrown at him by his detractors.”
“Not surprising. It keeps on
increasing, simply because the President is a very transparent leader,” Panelo
said.
“His political will shows in every
measure or step he has undertaken. It shows how sincere he is, and the people
are satisfied with his method of governance,” he added.
The President
has an 85 percent approval and trust rating, miles ahead of Vice President Leni
Robredo (55 percent)based on the latest Pulse Asia survey.
In the same poll, Senate President Vicente Sotto III got 77
percent, former House Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had 22 percent, and
Supreme Court Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin garnered 41 percent.
“People keep on expressing their
support to awaken the critics and the detractors from their slumber,” Panelo
said.
“All the criticisms against this
President relative to drugs vis-à-vis the West Philippine Sea and other issues
of national interest are all wrong – no basis,” he added.
Panelo is so assured that he said the President will maintain his
high ratings, until his last day in office in 2022.
“For every issue that is thrown at him
with such negative force, the detractors and the opposition keep saying the
ratings will go down,” Panelo said.
“But the more they say that, the more
it goes up. If that is not a powerful language to them, I don’t know what is
not,” he asserted.
