MANILA, Oct 13 (Mabuhay) — The net satisfaction rating for Vice President Leni Robredo is higher in the third quarter 2017 Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.

The net satisfaction rating of Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III is also higher.

Meanwhile, the ratings for House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez and Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno have dropped.

In the latest survey that was conducted from Sept. 23 to 27, Robredo gained +41 or “Good” satisfaction rating which is higher than the +36 rating she got in the second quarter SWS survey.

There are 1,500 respondents in the latest survey with a margin of error of ±2.5 percent.

The survey found 62 percent satisfied and 21 percent dissatisfied with the performance of the Vice-President.

Based on the SWS report posted on its website, the 5-point rise in the overall net satisfaction rating of Vice-Pres. Robredo was due to increases of 7 points in Balance Luzon, 7 points in the Visayas, and 3 points in Metro Manila, combined with a steady score in Mindanao.

It stayed very good in the Visayas, at +60 in September, up by 7 points from +53 in June.

It stayed good in Balance Luzon, at +42 in September, up by 7 points from +35 in June.

It stayed moderate in Metro Manila, at +23 (correctly rounded) in September, up by 3 points from +20 in June.

It stayed good in Mindanao, at +31 in September, hardly moving from +32 in June.

Double-digit gains in Vice-Pres. Robredo’s net satisfaction rating from June to September 2017 can be found in urban areas, among class ABCs, among 35-44 year olds, and among college graduates.

The same survey showed that the net satisfaction rating of Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III is also higher from +33 in June to +46 in September.

Meanwhile, the net satisfaction rating of House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez is lower, from +16 in June to + 8 in the latest survey.

The net satisfaction rating for Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is lower by 12 points. She had +21 in June but her ratings are down to +9 in September. (MNS)

'Record high' 11 percent of Visayas expect bleak Christmas – SWS

Given the major natural disasters in late 2013, 11 percent of Visayas residents expect a bleak Christmas this year, according to a new poll by Social Weather Stations. “In Visayas, the expectation of a happy Christmas declined to a new record-low 57 percent in 2013 as the expectation of a sad Christmas reached record-high 11 percent,” the SWS said in its poll. Last Oct. 15, a magnitude-7.2 quake devastated Central Visayas, while super typhoon Yolanda devastated the Visayas last Nov. 8. The SWS noted the expectation of a happy Christmas in Visayas declined by nine points, from 66 percent in 2012 to 57 percent in 2013. Before to 2013, SWS said the lowest recorded expectation of a happy Christmas was 60 percent, in 2006. “Conversely, the expectation of a sad Christmas in Visayas increased by four points, from 7 percent in 2012 to 11 percent in 2013,” the pollster said. The survey was taken from Dec. 11-16. Face-to-face interviews were conducted among 1,550 adults, with sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages, ±4% for Visayas, and ±6% for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon and Mindanao.

Satisfaction with government slightly down, but still 'very good' —SWS

Nearly seven out of 10 Filipinos were satisfied with the Aquino administration’s performance in the first quarter of 2013, according to a new survey by pollster Social Weather Stations. While the survey from March 19 to 22 saw public satisfaction dip slightly from end-2012, the satisfaction rating of +53 was still classified as “very good,” the SWS said. The SWS survey said that 68 percent of 1,200 adult respondents were satisfied and 15 percent were dissatisfied with the government’s performance. This translated to a net +53 rating, or the difference between the percentage satisfied and percentage dissatisfied. While the SWS said this was four points below +57 in December 2012, it was still “higher than those of all previous administrations.” SWS classifies net ratings of +70 and above as “excellent”; +50 to +69, “very good”; +30 to +49, “good”; +10 to +29, “moderate”, +9 to -9, “neutral”; -10 to -29, “poor”; -30 to -49, “bad’; -50 to -69, “very bad”; and -70 and below, “execrable.” Respondents asked to score government on 17 issues rated the Aquino administration “very good” on two, “good” on seven, “moderate” on four, “neutral” on three and “poor” on one. SWS published the results on its media partner Business World on Friday. ‘Substantially higher’ The SWS said the Aquino administration’s satisfaction ratings have so far remained substantially higher than those of its predecessors. Its scores had ranged from +64 in September and December 2010 to a low of +45 in June 2011. The previous record was Read More …

3.9M families went hungry in March - SWS

More Filipinos experienced hunger in March, with about 3.9 million Filipino families saying they had nothing to eat at some point during that time, according to a new survey by pollster Social Weather Stations. In its poll conducted from March 19 to 22 and posted on its media partner BusinessWorld, SWS said that the 3.9 million families or 19.2 percent of Filipino families that experienced hunger was higher than 16.3 percent in December. This was despite a decline in self-rated poverty to 52 percent during March, or some 10.6 million families, from 54 percent in December, the SWS noted. It added hunger increased among both the poor and the non-poor, even as it pointed out March’s figures were still below the record 23.8 percent recorded last year. Moderate, severe hunger The survey showed a rise of nearly three points in moderate hunger, or having nothing to eat once or a few times in the last three months, to 15.6 percent (3.2 million families) from 12.7 percent. It added severe hunger, where families claimed to experience hunger often or always, remained at 3.6 percent or 726,000 families. SWS noted overall hunger increased in all regions but fell in Metro Manila by nearly four points to 21.7 percent (615,000 families) from 25.3 percent. However, hunger went up sharply in Mindanao to 29.2 percent (1.4 million families) from 20 percent. It also rose to 14.7 percent (1.3 million families) in the balance of Luzon (Balance Luzon) and went up 15 percent (580,000 families) Read More …
