MANILA - The allegedly slow government response to super typhoon "Yolanda" failed to make a dent on the satisfaction ratings of President Benigno Aquino III, according to the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.

The survey conducted last December 11-16 showed Aquino enjoying a "good" net satisfaction rating of +49, which is unchanged from his previous rating in September

SWS said those satisfied with Aquino's performance increased by 1 percentage point, from 68% in September to 69% in December.

On the other hand, those dissatisfied with Aquino also increased, from 19% in September to 21% in December.

Malacanang said the results of the Fourth Quarter 2013 Social Weather Survey is evidence that the Filipino people continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Aquino administration.

"In lieu of the usual naysayers trying to promote the impression that there is a general dissatisfaction among the Filipino people, the survey shows that an overwhelming majority in Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as a healthy majority in Metro Manila, are solidly with the President," said Secretary Hermino Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office.

He said these past few months compelled the President to make tough but necessary decisions on issues of serious national concern such as the conflict in Zamboanga City, the earthquake in Bohol, and, most recently, the preparation and response to Typhoon Yolanda.

"These results serve as a reassurance: The Filipino people, who he has constantly referred to as his strength, continue to stand behind him. They believe in his leadership, founded on efficiency, firmness, and foresight," he said.

The survey showed the President had the biggest drop in satisfaction among Metro Manila respondents, from +38 in September to +22 in December. On the other hand, he experienced slight increases in net satisfaction among respondents in Luzon (+54), Visayas (+50) and Mindanao (+53).

SWS said President Aquino had an average net satisfaction rating of +55 for the entire 2013.

A total of 1,550 adults nationwide participated in the survey. The survey used sampling error margins of ±2.5% for national percentages, ±4% for Visayas, and ±6% for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon and Mindanao.
"If you don't know defeat, it's just because you have only ever been picking on people that weaker than yourselve. There's a word for that: embarrassing!"

hay nako mga politiko nga naman pag maganda ang lumalabas sa survey dali-dali nilang ina-acknowledge pero kung negative yun 101% sure sasabihin nila hindi totoo at credible ang isinagawang survey

This is off-topic but I think that it would be interesting if someone would conduct a survey along these lines: "Whenever a public figure you dislike earns a high trust rating in a survey, do you regard the survey itself as untrustworthy? If possible, provide an explanation or a reason for your answer."

It would make for compelling reading, wouldn't it?

Suportahan natin ang presidente.....sa kanyang term lang nagkaroon ng mga pagbabago.  Yun nga lang maraming kontra bulate.  Nag-iisa lang ang kalbo pero maraming kumakalaban sana wag na tayong dumagdag pa.  Hindi uusad ang Pilipnas kung lahat na lang babatikusin.  Let's pray for him to suceed.   Meron namang nangyayari pero sa democracy lahat dumadaan sa proseso kaya lalong bumabagal.  Yung check and balance ng government ang nagpapabagal pero epktibo naman ang konsepto kung magtutulungan tayo.

Dear Noytards and Yellow Army cadets,

Everytime I post something critical about BS Aquino, you yellow army would rush to his defense and give the following challenge:

1. It is not easy to be the President so stop criticizing Noynoy.

2. He is just one man and cannot do everything but he means well.

3. At least he is against corruption.

4. It is all GMA, Erap, FVR and Marcos' fault so don't blame him.

5. Puro kayo reklamo. What have you done for your country.

6. Eh di kayo na ang maging presidente.

7. (New) At sino ipapalit ninyo si Binay?

These are the top six ( now seven) defenses/excuses and for the record I would like to address them. So here it goes......

1. A President asked to be placed in that position of power. He begged for our votes with promises and sweet talk. Once in position, a president receives in his hands the immense power of government. Yes it is a hard job, but he did ask for it and because he promised a better life for us citizens and he uses our money and resources, then we as his citizens, individually and as a group have the right and privilege to criticize his every action. It comes with the job description.

2. He, as the president is not one man!!!! He has at his disposal the multi thousand man strong force of the government, uniformed and civil service both. He can move mountains if he wishes so and with the right political will. He only needs to choose the right people to fulfill his every order, but his choices have been questionable so far. Meaning well is all and good, for an ordinary person. For the president of the republic, meaning well must be backed up by intelligent planning and proper action. He must be on top of the situation ready to address any issue big or small because his every move and gesture will always be taken as national policy and direction. Everyone takes their cue from the president, so if things get screwed it came from him directly or otherwise.

3. Being against corruption does not stop at sloganeering. Giving the excuse that it is deeply rooted in society is not acceptable. Singapore hanged their corrupt politicians and leaders without bias toward party affiliation. Thailand and Malaysia still have former politicians in jail for corruption. They are three of the ASEAN powers today but used to lag well behind us. Marcos had a drug dealer shot in Luneta, and until 1987, drugs was never a national problem.

But in this administration we have a budget secretary who was once the hit man of GMA, a cabinet secretary who owns the jueteng operation in a southern Luzon province, a set of dubious customs executives related to Malacanang, an LTO still ridden with anomalies and a budget used for unknown reasons like DAP and PDAF which is still in our 2014 GAA despite a public outcry against it.

4. It is your house now for crying out loud. If you have not been able to clean it after 3.5 years then something must be wrong with your Tuwid na Daan policy. Because if it was Tuwid na Daan, then it must be a very narrow road and anyone who does not follow it can be easily spotted and left at the wayside. But it is not. You still blame everyone, from the former presidents to lackeys in your government you retain anyway, to imaginary forces plotting against you. No one is plotting against you chief. You actually had 78% of the Filipino people behind you when you started your term. I think that just got slashed to more than half by now, but there is no conspiracy to bring you down because you are effectively doing it to yourself. You and your minions.

5. What have we done for our country? We wake up every morning and go to work and be productive. We pay our taxes dutifully and observe the law. We raise our children to be future productive, law abiding members of society who help in raising the GDP, national spending and economic activities. We, all of us, do these simple things that when added up results in millions of pesos the government can use to develop our nation and alleviate hardships and poverty.and all we ask is that this government look after our welfare.

This same government that used up the Malampaya fund for their own ends, allowed a 4.15 peso power hike, ignored the needs of thousand of Yolanda victims, refused to create policy to regulate public transport that not only kills but cripples our economy through horrendous traffic jams.

And these are the few of the bigger sins like theft of tax money and cheating.

6. We did not apply for the job, but your president did! As I said earlier, through his campaign during elections, he wooed, begged, asked us to vote him into power. Only his equally power hungry party mates fooled him into thinking he is fit for the job and so pushed him on. Using the emotional leverage of his mothers death, they capitalized on the Filipino's reverence for the late great Cory Aquino to catapult him into power.

He wanted the job, we don't, so don't go around using that argument because we are putting the responsibility where it belongs, to the person who volunteered for the job.

Believe me, a more mature person would rather face up to the challenge than whine and complain about the job.

(New addition)
7. The issue is the mismanagement of Noynoy Aquino and not his eventual replacement. We are pointing out the deficiency of this current president and how he addresses these deficiencies and criticism. We are demanding responsibility and proper action. Not another set of excuses.

(Post publish note - I am not endorsing Binay, I cite the excuse because that is what I am discussing here. So to the a dark forces, please refrain from celebrating on this thread. -ivp)

All these excuses are just that, excuses. A statesman will never look, talk and act vindictive because he will try to unite his people into one force.

By consistently harping on known and unknown enemies every time he opens his big mouth, BS Aquino only continues to polarize the nation between those who support him against those who question him.

And by doing this there will be no progress because the animosity between the two factions is too strong for any cooperation to happen. Just look at his own Liberal Party divided into the Samar and Balay group. The jockeying for position is so immense.

But I digress.

These are my answer to every Noytard and Yellow Army brat out there who spew the same argument over and over just like their mighty leader.

Listen to yourselves because the truth be told, these are propaganda lines used as a marketing tool to keep the real issue behind an iron curtain of deception.

Yours truly,

Your brother citizen worried for the future of our children.

it ain't over. . .till its over

In the end, the reality speaks for itself and there's no need for survey.

Surveys were made by sampling units of our population which shall derive those nerdy percentage, resources are needed to do this. Who will conduct a survey without money involve? No one of course. But still, no matter how untrustworthy survey would be it is still far more reliable than believing in one individual showing his own biased opinion. Lahat naman may kinikilingan.

I once overheard two colleagues talking with regards to survey. "Matunog ang numerong 8, siguradong yan ang tatama sa lottery". Akalain mong tumama ang loko. Just want to emphasize that surveys, no matter how unreliable it tends to be, it will always be a glimpse of reality.

1. It is not easy to be the President so stop criticizing Noynoy.

2. He is just one man and cannot do everything but he means well.

4. It is all GMA, Erap, FVR and Marcos' fault so don't blame him.

5. Puro kayo reklamo. What have you done for your country.

6. Eh di kayo na ang maging presidente.

7. (New) At sino ipapalit ninyo si Binay?

These are the top six ( now seven) defenses/excuses and for the record I would like to address them. So here it goes......

Singapore hanged their corrupt politicians and leaders without bias toward party affiliation. Thailand and Malaysia still have former politicians in jail for corruption. They are three of the ASEAN powers today but used to lag well behind us. Marcos had a drug dealer shot in Luneta, and until 1987, drugs was never a national problem.

But in this administration we have a budget secretary who was once the hit man of GMA, a cabinet secretary who owns the jueteng operation in a southern Luzon province, a set of dubious customs executives related to Malacanang, an LTO still ridden with anomalies and a budget used for unknown reasons like DAP and PDAF which is still in our 2014 GAA despite a public outcry against it.

4. It is your house now for crying out loud. If you have not been able to clean it after 3.5 years then something must be wrong with your Tuwid na Daan policy. Because if it was Tuwid na Daan, then it must be a very narrow road and anyone who does not follow it can be easily spotted and left at the wayside. But it is not. You still blame everyone, from the former presidents to lackeys in your government you retain anyway, to imaginary forces plotting against you. No one is plotting against you chief. You actually had 78% of the Filipino people behind you when you started your term. I think that just got slashed to more than half by now, but there is no conspiracy to bring you down because you are effectively doing it to yourself. You and your minions.

5. What have we done for our country? We wake up every morning and go to work and be productive. We pay our taxes dutifully and observe the law. We raise our children to be future productive, law abiding members of society who help in raising the GDP, national spending and economic activities. We, all of us, do these simple things that when added up results in millions of pesos the government can use to develop our nation and alleviate hardships and poverty.and all we ask is that this government look after our welfare.

This same government that used up the Malampaya fund for their own ends, allowed a 4.15 peso power hike, ignored the needs of thousand of Yolanda victims, refused to create policy to regulate public transport that not only kills but cripples our economy through horrendous traffic jams.

And these are the few of the bigger sins like theft of tax money and cheating.

6. We did not apply for the job, but your president did! As I said earlier, through his campaign during elections, he wooed, begged, asked us to vote him into power. Only his equally power hungry party mates fooled him into thinking he is fit for the job and so pushed him on. Using the emotional leverage of his mothers death, they capitalized on the Filipino's reverence for the late great Cory Aquino to catapult him into power.

He wanted the job, we don't, so don't go around using that argument because we are putting the responsibility where it belongs, to the person who volunteered for the job.

Believe me, a more mature person would rather face up to the challenge than whine and complain about the job.

(New addition)
7. The issue is the mismanagement of Noynoy Aquino and not his eventual replacement. We are pointing out the deficiency of this current president and how he addresses these deficiencies and criticism. We are demanding responsibility and proper action. Not another set of excuses.

(Post publish note - I am not endorsing Binay, I cite the excuse because that is what I am discussing here. So to the a dark forces, please refrain from celebrating on this thread. -ivp)

All these excuses are just that, excuses. A statesman will never look, talk and act vindictive because he will try to unite his people into one force.

By consistently harping on known and unknown enemies every time he opens his big mouth, BS Aquino only continues to polarize the nation between those who support him against those who question him.

And by doing this there will be no progress because the animosity between the two factions is too strong for any cooperation to happen. Just look at his own Liberal Party divided into the Samar and Balay group. The jockeying for position is so immense.

But I digress.

These are my answer to every Noytard and Yellow Army brat out there who spew the same argument over and over just like their mighty leader.

Listen to yourselves because the truth be told, these are propaganda lines used as a marketing tool to keep the real issue behind an iron curtain of deception.

Yours truly,

Your brother citizen worried for the future of our children.

Wow may halong angst. Ikaw ba yan Mr Free Spits? If you're not, pakipasa na lang sa kanya, if you are...

1. While the President asked to be placed in a position of power, that does not make the job any easier. Nor does it mean that you are enslaved by Noytards that you have to follow what they say to not criticize him. In any political topic, there will always be people for and against. When Noytards come to the defense of Pnoy, it is not different from you smartypants activists criticizing him when a Noytard posts an article in Pnoy's favor. And please, don't give me that lame excuse that you do not do that or that you are no activist. If you want to generalize Noytards as a group, you get to be addressed as a smartypants activist.

2. Sadly, you fail to grasp the context in which this is often used. This in no way means that people expect him to do everything himself, but rather in reference to the enormity of the task similar to the first item. People who take this statement to mean he is expected to do everything himself, well, can't get more 'tard than that.

3. So what's wrong with the sloganeering? This is a very common political tool to establish the main thrust of an administration. You are quite right, other countries have jailed people because of corruption: Singapore - "Do Your Part to Stamp-Out Corruption"; Thailand - "Hands United Against Corruption"; etc. While, it is the duty of the government to do it, he has pushed this as his main thrust as shown by the number of cases they have filed as compared to previous administrations and this is the context why #3 is often used.

4. I admit, #4 is lame, but I haven't really see this being used as is. It's more of #1 than this. But for your criticism on the 'Tuwid na Daan', guess what, you can't just fire a politician because they are rumored to be corrupt. You need to establish the facts and prepare a legitimate case with the ombudsman. Do you personally know BIR and Customs staff? I do. If you do, ask them privately. Ask them if they know how many employees are accepting bribes or turning blind eyes and they'll tell you everyone does it. Now guess what happens if we fire all of them? While it's "easy to see" if someone strays from the "Tuwid na Daan", only a Marcos can point a finger and sentence him to jail.

5. I don't really know why you have to highlight #5 & #7 because these are obviously rhetorical questions.  #5 is essentially the equivalent of, "ask not what the country can do for you, but what you can do for your country". Well, with the exception of a few wealthy countries, all citizens are expected to work, be productive and pay taxes, so I doubt that's the answer Noytards are looking for. These were meant to encourage you to ponder on your position.

6. This is stated as a challenge, but is better thrown out as a question. If you had been in his position, what could you have done differently. In fact, if you look at the details, most feedback would have caused a different problem because in life, there are very few actions that do not come with consequences.

7. Well if you don't want him to be replaced, then why criticize destructively. If you can write a good piece, you probably can do it in a constructive manner. Why attack if you can just be as effective in helping him achieve his goals?

A relative of mine setup a business in a relatively remote area. However, as requirement of of the business, he needs to be within one hour of the nearest city and the current road conditions make it almost impossible. So what did he do? He funded part of the construction of the road. I'm not sharing this to boast, but rather to show that if it really matters to you that much, you can take part. You can make it happen.

Obviously, not everyone has the financial resources, but to put it in other contexts, if corruption bothers you that much, choose your favorite corrupt politician and do your own research on his corrupt practices then send it anonymously to the office of the ombudsman. If it is poverty that bothers you, think of livelihood programs that you can organize or participate in:
o Programmer - build open source programs that SMEs can use for their business and/or train them. Because if their business grows, they can hire more people and give jobs to others
o Nurse/Doctor - easy. Participate in those Free Clinic programs
o Business Major/Accountant - give free lectures of financial management

There is so much that people can do if we just spend more time thinking of how to fix things rather than complain why they are broken.

Yes, you are right that Pnoy should not be complaining, but maybe that's just his nature as a person. Some people complain all the time not to blow off steam. I mean, think about it. If you're all complaining so much about him, maybe you are one too.

Personally, I have given up on waiting for government officials to fix the Philippines. It is time for Filipinos to take ownership of the situation. If you truly are worried for the future of the children, find a role that you can fill and do your best to fill it. I was glad that the two top networks launched campaigns for people to take up an advocacy though lately, the campaign seems to have died down. I hope we can all take an advocacy and slowly, piece-by-piece raise our country up.

Meron pa bang trustworthy na survey ngayon? lahat naman yan motivated by money and all other propaganda.
In the end, the reality speaks for itself and there's no need for survey.

The reality might indeed speak for itself...but sometimes we only see parts of the reality--those that reinforce our own opinions--rather than the whole of it.

Take Winnie Monsod, for example. Chevalier Bouya Harumichi gave little weight to her opinion regarding the Mar Roxas - Alfred Romualdez argument since--as he pointed out--she was a supporter of the late Cory Aquino. I do, however, recall having heard Prof. Monsod say on television that there were some policies implemented by the late Ferdinand Marcos with which she agreed (in principle, if nothing else) notwithstanding whatever support she might have given to Mrs. Aquino. 

Like mother, like son,.. si presidente cory aquino lage din binabagsak ang sisi sa previous administration nun.. ganun din ang anak.. binabagsak ang sisi sa previous administration.. pero sabi nga ng mga economist it was gma strategic economic plans kaya mataas ang rating natin ngaun sa buong mundo.. credit grabber?? ::laffman

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Gloria Macapagal Arroyo blame Joseph Estrada whenever she found it convenient to do so?
