“In every region, the city mayor of each capital in area have been assessed by the constituents when it comes to their over-all job performances or achievements. As for the Governors, we chose the regional center of the provinces to gather a significant data for analysis. We are hoping that this will give our public servants a good insight on how they are doing with their constituents,” ayon kay Dr. Paul Martinez ng RP- Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMDinc).

“Of the 16 provincial governors representing in every region, ten achieved a majority high job performance rating while six were not able to attain a majority approval. For mayors outside the National Capital Region—13 city mayors were rated high job approval ratings while 3 rated below 50%. For NCR mayors, 14 mayors appraised positively while three were assessed below the passing mark however their ratings went up significantly from previous surveys,” dagdag pa niya.

Ang survey ay isinagawa ng RPMDinc, na isang independent at non-commissioned survey na may 3,500 respondents sa NCR mula July 3-10, 2021 at 5,000 respondents naman sa lahat ng rehiyon para sa gobernadora at mga alkalde sa labas ng NCR mula Hunyo 10-25, 2021.

Ang objective ng naturang independent analysis ay matukoy ang opinyon ng mga mamamayan, gayundin ang assessment nila sa performance ng kanilang mga opisyal pagdating sa ilang mahalagang factors na kailangan sa kanilang obligasyon sa lipunan.

Layunin rin nitong tulungan ang mga opisyal na makapaghatid ng mas mahusay na mga programa at mga polisiya na makapagpapaangat sa pamumuhay ng mga Pinoy.

Ang pandemya ay nakadagdag sa mga layabilidad sa lipunan kaya’t kinakailangan ng mas angkop na mga pamamaraan at aksiyon mula sa ating mga lider upang mas mahusay nilang mapaglingkuran ang kanilang mga constituents.

“Based on our latest findings and record, Mayor Sara Duterte achieved a (93%) rating that surpassed the ratings of President Rodrigo Duterte last January 2010 that was at (86%) mark as the Mayor of Davao City. During our project implementation, respondents were asked to describe in their own words “what crosses their minds” when they think of Mayor Sara Duterte —–Strong willed, Trustworthy, Young and Experienced Official.

“At present, she surfaced as the number 1 local chief executive in the Philippines and leads in the current presidential polls. Political parties are now trying to get ahead of others by declaring their intention to be affiliated with Mayor Sara Duterte if she decides to run for President. She is indeed a formidable presidential candidate,” ani Dr. Martinez.
