The global pandemic brought about by the novel
coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 has really been an eye opener for all the
countries in the world – no one was really prepared for it.
In the local front, a foreign online poll
covering 23 countries and had respondents aged between 18 to 80,the poll has a
3 to 6 percent statistical margin of error, was conducted asking if they are
satisfied with the leadership of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in his response
to the global pandemic.
The online survey measured 4 key performance indicators:
national political leadership, corporate leadership, community, and media, and was
conducted between the dates of April 3 and 19 starting first in Asia up to Iran.

The result was that the Philippines averaged 49 percent satisfaction rating with respect to Duterte’s response, results of a survey by Blackbox Research firm, and Toluna media company released Wednesday showed.
Compared
to its neighbors the Philippines ranked higher than Indonesia (48
percent), Singapore (48 percent), and Thailand (36 percent).
China, the origin of the pandemic, had the
highest average satisfaction rating at 85 percent followed by Vietnam at 77
percent, and India at 59 percent.
South American country Mexico registered the
lowest satisfaction rating at 37 percent, followed by the United States of
America at 41 percent, and Iran from the Middle East at 36 percent respectively.
"Overall, most countries are not
performing up to their citizens’ expectations. The Chinese are exceptionally
satisfied, which could be attributed to how they are already in their
post-COVID-19 recovery phase amid the global outbreak, which gave a sense that
China has handled the crisis well," David Black, founder and chief
executive officer of Blackbox Research said.
“COVID-19 is not the first and will not be the
last global pandemic. In order to rebuild public trust and confidence, leaders
need to consider the lasting implications and impacts of the crisis in order to
emerge from this crisis stronger and more resilient," Black said.
The 4 performance indicators
For the national political leadership, 45
percent of Filipinos said they were satisfied with President Duterte's crisis
response.
Media response to the pandemic was the most
favored among the virus response factors with a 78-percent approval rating in
the Philippines.
Community leadership and business leadership
in the Philippines, meanwhile, got relatively lower scores of 37 percent and 36
percent respectively.
Malacanang’s response
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said, "Government cannot do it alone and we are
therefore grateful to the private sector, the media, and the community in
general for demonstrating the true Filipino bayanihan spirit in this
extraordinary situation."
