Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go hailed former President Rodrigo Duterte’s excellent satisfaction rating as the former Chief Executive remained popular with the Filipino people until his last days in office.
The senator stressed that Duterte’s excellent satisfaction rating is “truly heartwarming” and “most inspiring” for anyone in public service.
“A historic high among Filipino presidents and one of the highest among leaders of major democracies in the world, his phenomenal brand of leadership further emboldens any public servant to work harder for our people,” Go said.
The former President received an all-time record-high +81 net satisfaction score, according to a report released on Friday by the polling firm Social Weather Stations which was derived from surveys conducted on 26 to 29 June — his final days in Malacañang.
The new rating also surpassed another record set the former President — a +79 gained in the survey’s November 2020 edition.
Duterte’s satisfaction rating in all regions — including Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao — also rose.
Meanwhile, Go said that he is grateful to the former President for becoming his mentor after working with Duterte for more than 20 years.
He also thanked the former President for all the work and service the latter has done for the country and the lessons he has taught fellow public servants.
