In Publicus Asia Inc.’s “Pahayag” online survey released last Friday, November 24, eighty-two percent out of 1,200 respondents, aged 18 to 36, and living in urban areas around the country, approved the leadership style of President Duterte. The highest approval rating (94%) came from Mindanao. The survey was conducted from November 5 to 12, this year.
In addition, most of the millenials who joined the survey also approved President Duterte’s intensified war against illegal drugs. Interestingly, the satisfaction rating in Metro Manila and Southern Luzon are higher than of the rest of the country. However, 6 out of 10 respondents think extrajudicial killings (EJKs) and human rights violation are serious problems.
In a statement, Publicus founder and CEO Malou Tiquia said that 74 percent of millennials said that President Duterte makes them feel “optimistic,” while 71 percent said that he makes them “feel proud.” Only 16 percent said that they are “disappointed” with the President, while 11 percent said that he makes them “feel angry.”
The survey result also showed that 8 out of 10 millennials said that the country still has “best years are ahead of us.” Sixty-five percent of them are really not that concerned with President Duterte’s foul language and not being a statesman in behavior, and 71 percent of them believe that his unsophisticated style is “natural and honest.”
On the other hand, 42% of the respondents are favorable with the performance of Congress while 18% are not; and 39% are favorable with Supreme Court while 18% are not. Fifty-two percent are favorable with the PNP (Philippine National Police), while 15 percent are not. Lastly, 75 percent are in favor with the AFP, and only 4 percent are not.
