Ratings and rankings are comprehensively examined based on work performance. Mayors have a diversified range of responsibilities as the local Chief Executive. Governors are accountable for implementing programs and initiatives, enforcing laws, and implementing the provincial development plan. District Representatives are elected officials tasked with representing people and enacting legislation. These public officials who performed well in “constituent service” and service to the country should be congratulated and commended for their exceptional performance, according to RPMD’s Dr. Paul Martinez.

The “RPMD Public Satisfaction Survey,” conducted by RP- Mission and Development Foundation Inc., is an independent, non-commissioned survey conducted in each district/city/province in every region. Respondents were asked, “Do you approve or disapprove of the way [name of Mayor/Governor/Representative] is carrying out his/her duties as (Mayor/Governor/Representative)?”

The nationwide performance assessment survey of all City Mayors and Governors, as well as District Representatives, gathered a total of 10,000 respondents; NCR has the same respondents as it covers election 2022 voter preferences; both were conducted February 22-28, 2022, using random sampling and face-to-face interviews, with a margin of error of +/- 1% and a confidence level of 95%, added Dr. Paul Martinez.
