Duterte, Villar, ACT-CIS excel in nationwide survey
IN the remaining few months of his administration, President Rodrigo Duterte has flouted the lame duck fate of most Philippine leaders and stayed influential — no other President has achieved an overall approval rating of 75% and a trust rating of 70%, according to Dr. Paul Martinez of RP- Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD).
The RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD) also uncovered and announced that former Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary and senatorial candidate Mark Villar achieved a 90 percent trust rating in their nationwide survey. It currently has 69.7 percent of the vote and remains the top choice in the Senate race.
Mark Villar trailed by Antique Representative Loren Legarda (65.3%), broadcaster Raffy Tulfo (63.5%), former House Speaker Alan Cayetano (54.1%), Sorsogon Governor Francis “Chiz” Escudero (52.8%) and Filipino film actor Robin Padilla (45.2%).
Positioning from 7th to 12th place were Sen. Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri (45.1%), Sen. Win Gatchalian (42.9%), former Vice President Jejomar “Jojo” Binay (41.3%), former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista (34.5%), former Senator Jinggoy Estrada (33.7%) and Sen. Joel Villanueva (32.4%).
