Undoubtedly more than half in his term as President, he continues
to have the support of the majority most
especially in the centerpiece of his administration- in the war against illegal
drugs.
Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia said the high satisfaction
rating in the recent SWS survey of the administration’s campaign against hard
drugs and illegal narcotics shows the Filipinos’ continued support.
“In spite of some human rights issues raised, we can see the
people are solidly behind the President,” the mayor said in a press conference.

The people has given their approval of the President’s policy
against the illegal drugs menace time and time again since the start of his
administration in 2016.
“When he declared that it’s (against) illegal drugs, criminality,
and corruption, and he pursued this, and he’s getting very high ratings, it
simply tells us that this is what the people want,” the mayor added.
The Social Weather Station (SWS) second quarter survey shows that
82% of Filipinos are satisfied with the government’s drug war while 12% were
dissatisfied and only 6% were undecided.
Bacolod has always been a supporter of the government campaign to
get rid of the illegal drugs in their province, and is also the Visayas pilot site
of Balay Silangan, a drug reformation center that will be soon opened with the
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
Mayor Evelio Leonardia is the current national president of the
League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), said the league is also making the
war on drugs a priority aligned with that of the Duterte administration.
