If Filipinos were to rate President Benigno S. Aquino III’s performance, particularly in 11 issues, including that of managing the economy, people would be giving him a “passing grade,” as shown in the latest Pulse Asia survey results.

Based on the nationwide survey conducted last June 20-July 4 among 1,200 respondents, President Aquino got the rating of 80, his highest, both in the management of economy, and in ensuring the delivery of basic services, such as health, education and low-cost housing to Filipinos in need.

However, the President got the grade of 75, his lowest, in reducing poverty among Filipinos.

Pulse Asia noted that President Aquino registered a one-percentage point gain in his grade on the issue of economic management but experienced a one-percentage point decline in his grade on the issue of equal law enforcement on all citizens.

The survey question was, “Anong grado ang ibibigay ninyo sa kanyang pagganap ng tungkulin bilang Presidente mula 2010 hanggang ngayon sa bawat isa sa mga sumusunod na pambansang isyu?”

The respondents were directed to rate the President on a scale of zero to 100, with 75 as the passing grade.

Pulse Asia observed that the President has “basically the same passing grades on selected national issues as those he obtained after his first year in office.”

He received a rating of 79 in strengthening political institutions, such as electoral system and relations between branches of government; increasing peace stability in the country; strengthening the relations of the Philippines with other countries; and fighting graft and corruption in government.

On enforcing the law on influential, as well as ordinary people; fighting criminality; and stopping the destruction and abuse of government, the President got a rating of 78.

A grade of 77 was given to the President in controlling fast population growth.

Pulse Asia pointed out that “marginal changes” in the President’s performance grades occurred between August 2011 and June 2013./MP
