RE:
Pulse Asia Researchs June 2015 Nationwide Survey on

the Performance and Trust Ratings of the
Top Five National Government Officials and the
Performance Ratings of Congress and the Supreme Court
Pulse Asia Research, Inc. is pleased to share with you some findings on the
Performance and Trust Ratings of the Top Five National Government Officials and the
Performance Ratings of Congress and the Supreme Court from the June 2015 Ulat ng Bayan
national survey. We request you to assist us in informing the public by disseminating this
information.
The survey fieldwork was conducted from May 30 June 5, 2015 using face-toface interviews.
The following developments preoccupied Filipinos in the weeks immediately
prior to and during the conduct of this survey:
1. The case of Mary Jane Veloso who had been meted out the death penalty for drug
smuggling in Indonesia but was granted a reprieve at the last minute by
Indonesian President Joko Widodo as well as the continuing efforts of the
Philippine government and civil society groups and individuals to seek clemency
for Veloso;
2. The observation of Labor Day, with labor groups clamoring for, among other
things, higher wages and greater protection for the welfare of domestic and
overseas Filipino workers like, especially in the wake of Velosos case in Indonesia;
3. The report of the special panel of probers created by the Office of the Ombudsman
to look into the alleged overpricing of the Makati City Hall Building II which seeks
to indict Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay, Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay,
Jr., other Makati City government officials and some private contractors for
criminal and administrative charges arising from the illegal procurement and
payment for the design and construction of the said building;
4. The decision of the Court of Appeals (CA) to grant a petition filed by the AntiMoney Laundering Council (AMLC) to freeze the bank accounts of Vice-President
Binay as well as Makati City Mayor Binay, former Makati City Mayor Elenita
Binay, and some of the reported dummies of the Vice-President in connection with
the investigations done by the Office of the Ombudsman concerning the
construction of the Makati City Hall Building II and Makati Science High School;
5.
The continuation of the hearings conducted by the subcommittee of the Senate

Blue Ribbon Committee regarding the alleged anomalies involving Vice-President
Binay, with Senator Antonio Trillanes IV claiming that the PAG-IBIG Fund
granted loans amounting to P 134 million to four real estate developers allied with
the Vice-President;
6. The start of a new school year marked by calls for the scrapping of the K-12
program, the building of more classrooms, lower tuition, and more government
support for the education sector;
7. The killing of alleged terrorist Abdul Basit Usman in Maguindanao during a
firefight between his group and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) on 03
May 2015, a development which, Malacaang hopes, would restore public trust in
the MILF and the Mindanao peace process in the aftermath of the January 2015
Mamasapano encounter;
8. The approval by the House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee on the
Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) of its own version of the proposed legislation, the
Basic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (BLBAR), by a vote of 50-17
(with one abstention) and the start of plenary discussions on the matter; the House
of Representatives also approved on second reading a resolution seeking to amend
the so-called restrictive economic provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution;
9. The continuing tensions between the Philippines and China over disputed
territories in the West Philippine Sea and the reported land reclamation activities
of Vietnam on Sand Cay and West Reef which are part of the contested Spratly
Islands;
10. The appointment of former Presidential Commission on Good Governance
(PCGG) Chairperson Andres Bautista as the new head of the Commission on
Elections (COMELEC) and those of former Cadiz City Mayor Rowena Guanzon
and Atty. Sheriff Abas as new COMELEC Commissioners;
11. The helicopter crash in Pakistan which killed Philippine Ambassador Domingo
Lucenario, Jr. and six other people on 08 May 2015, with the Pakistani Taliban later
claiming they shot down the army helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile, though
this claim was denied by the Pakistani authorities who, in turn, attributed the crash
to a technical problem with the aircraft;
12. A Commission on Audit (COA) report which claims that a total of P 670 million
from 49 lawmakers Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) and the
2
administrations Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP), which were released

through the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), ended up in the
hands of several questionable non-government organizations (NGOs);
13. A meeting between President Benigno S. Aquino III and Senator Grace Poe in
connection with the possibility of the latter running as president or vice-president
in May 2016 under the Liberal Party (LP) and the disqualification issue based on
her lack of residency raised against Senator Poe by Navotas City Representative
Tobias Tiangco, who is the interim president of the United Nationalist Alliance
(UNA); the exchange of words between Vice-President Binay and Senator Poe
with the former saying that the next Philippine president should have experience
and the latter replying that quality of service and honesty are more important than
length of service or experience;
14. The factory fire in Valenzuela City which resulted in the death of 72 individuals
and the creation of a panel of state prosecutors who will determine the possible
criminal and administrative offenses committed by the factory owner, Kentex
Manufacturing Corporation;
15. The welterweight division boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd
Mayweather, Jr. which the latter won through a unanimous decision; and
16. The lowest level of inflation in the country in 20 years at 1.6% recorded in May
2015 lower than the 2.2% inflation rate the previous month which, according to
the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), was due to sufficient
supply of key food items and lower electricity and fuel prices.
As in our previous surveys, this nationwide survey is based on a sample of 1,200
representative adults 18 years old and above. It has a 3% error margin at the 95%
confidence level. Subnational estimates for each of the geographic areas covered in the
survey (i.e., Metro Manila, the rest of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) have a 6% error
margin, also at 95% confidence level. Those interested in further technical details
concerning the survey's questionnaire and sampling design may request Pulse Asia
Research in writing for fuller details, including copies of the pre-tested questions actually
used.
Pulse Asia Researchs pool of academic fellows takes full responsibility for the
design and conduct of the survey, as well as for analyses it makes based on the survey
data. In keeping with our academic nature, no religious, political, economic, or partisan
group influenced any of these processes. Pulse Asia Research undertakes Ulat ng Bayan
surveys on its own without any party singularly commissioning the research effort.

Media Release on the Performance and Trust Ratings of the
Top Five National Government Officials and the
Performance Ratings of Congress and the Supreme Court
22 June 2015
Only President Benigno S. Aquino III and Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay obtain
majority approval ratings (54% and 58%, respectively) while only the latter enjoys the
trust of most Filipinos (57%) in June 2015
Among the leading officials of the Philippine government, only two succeed in scoring
majority national approval ratings in Pulse Asia Researchs June 2015 nationwide survey
President Benigno S. Aquino III (54%) and Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay (58%).
Appreciation is the plurality sentiment as regards the work done by Senate President
Franklin M. Drilon (49%) while small majorities are unable to say if they approve or
disapprove of the performance of Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes A. Sereno
(52%) and House Speaker Feliciano R. Belmonte, Jr. (53%). These officials overall
disapproval scores vary from 8% for Senate President Drilon to 18% for Vice-President
Binay. (Please refer to Table 1.)

President Aquino posts majority approval ratings in virtually all geographic areas and
socio-economic classes (55% to 62% and 54% to 56%, respectively), with Metro Manila and
Class ABC being the exceptions (34% and 43%, respectively). In the case of Vice-President
4
Binay, approval is the majority sentiment toward his performance in every geographic
area and Classes D and E (51% to 62% and 56% to 67%, respectively). The latters only
non-majority approval rating is recorded in Class ABC (43%). Majority approval scores
are enjoyed by Senate President Drilon in the rest of Luzon and Class E (both at 54%). Half
of those in Metro Manila (50%) also appreciate the latters work while indecision on the
matter is the predominant sentiment in the Visayas (52%). Practically the same approval
and indecision figures are obtained by Senate President Drilon in Mindanao (47% versus
43%), Class ABC (44% versus 40%), and Class D (47% versus 44%). (Please refer to Table 2.)

Q42a-e. M ayroon ako ritong mga pangalan ng ilang mga opisyal ng ating pamahalaan. Pakisabi ninyo ang inyong opinyon tungkol sa pagganap
nila ng kanilang tungkulin nitong huling tatlong buwan. Sa pamamagitan po ng board na ito (SHOW RATING BOARD), kayo ba ay
TALAGANG APROBADO, APROBADO, M AAARING APROBADO AT M AAARING HINDI APROBADO, HINDI APROBADO, o TALAGANG
HINDI APROBADO kay (NAM E) sa kanyang pagganap bilang (POSITION) o wala pa kayong narinig, nabasa, o napanood na kahit na
ano tungkol sa kanya kahit na kailan?
Notes: (1) % Approve = % Truly Approve plus %Approve; % Disapprove = Disapprove plus % Truly Disapprove.
(2) Figures may not add up to 100% due to rounding off or to Don't Know and Refuse responses.
Both House Speaker Belmonte and Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno fail to majority
approval ratings in any of the countrys geographic areas and socio-economic groupings.
Ambivalence toward these officials performance is the majority opinion in the Visayas
(59% and 54%, respectively), Mindanao (55% and 59%, respectively), Class D (52% and
52%, respectively), and Class E (58% and 55%, respectively). At least half of those in the
rest of Luzon cannot say if they approve or disapprove of the performance of House
Speaker Belmonte and Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno (52% and 50%, respectively).
Likewise, the latter also registers a majority indecision rating in Class ABC (55%).
Basically the same approval and indecision figures are registered by the House Speaker
and the Supreme Court Chief Justice in Metro Manila (44% versus 46%) and by House
Speaker Belmonte in Class ABC (32% versus 48%).
5
Meanwhile, the only majority trust rating in this quarter is recorded by Vice-President
Binay (57%). One in two Filipinos (50%) expresses trust in President Aquino. As for Senate
President Drilon, he registers exactly the same trust and indecision figures (both at 45%).
Indecision is the majority opinion concerning the trustworthiness of House Speaker
Belmonte (52%) and Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno (53%). Levels of distrust in these
personalities range only from 10% for the Senate President to 19% for the Vice-President
and the House Speaker. (Please refer to Table 3.)

Notes: (1) % Big Trust = % Very Big Trust plus % Big Trust ; % Small Trust = % Small Trust plus %Very Small Trust
(2) *Figures may not add up to 100% due to rounding off.
Both President Aquino and Vice-President Binay are trusted by at least half of those in the
rest of Luzon (52% and 63%, respectively), the Visayas (52% and 53%, respectively),
Mindanao (54% and 50%, respectively), Class D (50% and 55%, respectively), and Class E
(54% and 66%, respectively). While the Vice-President also posts a majority trust score
(52%) in Metro Manila, President Aquino obtains almost the same trust and indecision
figures in this geographic area (35% versus 40%, respectively). Meanwhile, nearly the
same percentages of those in Class ABC either trust President Aquino or are ambivalent
toward his trustworthiness (40% versus 44%). Public opinion toward Vice-President
Binays trustworthiness is split three-ways in this socio-economic class (39% trust, 26
indecision, and 35% distrust). (Please refer to Table 4.)
Senate President Drilon is able to register a majority trust rating (52%) only in the rest of
Luzon and he posts a majority indecision figure in the Visayas (55%). Virtually the same
percentages of those in Metro Manila, Mindanao, and all socio-economic classes express
either trust in the Senate President (38% to 49%) or cannot say if they trust or distrust him
(40% to 49%). In contrast, most of those in the rest of Luzon (53% to 55%), the Visayas
(51% to 56%), Mindanao (55% to 56%), Class D (52% to 53%), and Class E (53% to 56%) are
6
undecided as regards the trustworthiness of House Speaker Belmonte and Supreme Court
Chief Justice Sereno. Both the House Speaker and the Supreme Court Chief Justice record
basically or exactly the same trust and indecision ratings in Metro Manila (43% versus
43% and 35% versus 47%, respectively). In Class ABC, ambivalence is the majority
sentiment regarding the trustworthiness of Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno (56%)
while essentially the same percentages either trust House Speaker Belmonte (33%) or are
ambivalent concerning his trustworthiness (46%).

(2) % Big Trust = % Very Big Trust plus % Big Trust ; % Small Trust = % Small Trust plus %Very Small Trust
As for vice-presidential national approval and trust scores, these go up by 12 and 15

percentage points, respectively. Likewise, improvements in Vice-President Binays
approval scores occur in the rest of Luzon (+15 percentage points), the Visayas (+14
percentage points), Class D (+12 percentage points), and Class E (+14 percentage points).
Meanwhile, vice-presidential trust ratings rise in Metro Manila (+13 percentage points),
the rest of Luzon (+24 percentage points), Class D (+16 percentage points), and Class E
(+16 percentage points).
On the other hand, Senate President Drilon registers a gain in public trust in the rest of
Luzon (+15 percentage points) but both his approval and trust scores decline in the
Visayas (-18 and -22 percentage points, respectively) and Mindanao (-15 and -14
percentage points, respectively). As for House Speaker Belmonte, he enjoys
improvements in his approval and trust figures in Metro Manila (+13 and +15 percentage
points, respectively) as well as in his trust rating in the rest of Luzon (+13 percentage
points). As for Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno, her approval and trust ratings go up
in Metro Manila (both at +15 percentage points) but they drop in Mindanao (-15 and -21
percentage points, respectively).
The overall levels of ambivalence toward the performance and trustworthiness of the
countrys top government officials are essentially constant between March and June 2015.
The only notable movements are the increase in the national indecision rating of Senate
President Drilon in relation to his trustworthiness (+7 percentage points) and the decline
in the level of ambivalence on the matter of trusting or distrusting Vice-President Binay (7 percentage points). Across geographic areas and socio-economic classes, the marked
movements are the: (1) decline in the level of indecision toward presidential performance
in Class D (-9 percentage points); (2) drop in the ambivalence ratings of Vice-President
Binay in relation to his work and trustworthiness occurring in the rest of Luzon (-13 and
-16 percentage points, respectively); (3) increase in the levels of indecision concerning
Senate President Drilons performance and trustworthiness (+15 to +19 and +16 to +21
percentage points, respectively) in Visayas and Mindanao; and (4) rise in the indecision
ratings of Supreme Court Chief Justice Sereno among Mindanaoans in connection with
her work and trustworthiness (+23 and +17 percentage points, respectively).
In Metro Manila, the disapproval and distrust ratings of President Aquino (-17 and -18
percentage points, respectively), Vice-President Binay (both at -16 percentage points),
Senate President Drilon (-13 and -16 percentage points, respectively), and Supreme Court
Chief Justice Sereno (-15 and -16 percentage points, respectively) decline during the
period March to June 2015. Criticism for House Speaker Belmontes quarterly
performance also eases among Metro Manilans at this time (-13 percentage points).
Additionally, President Aquinos disapproval and distrust scores go down in Class D (11 and -15 percentage points, respectively) while his distrust figure in Class ABC also
decreases (-19 percentage points).
10
Not one of the key government institutions of the Philippines receives a majority
approval rating in June 2015; public assessment of these institutions performance is
virtually unchanged between March and June 2015
The Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court are unable to register
majority approval ratings in this survey both at the national level and across geographic
areas and socio-economic classes. While indecision is the plurality opinion about the work
done by the House of Representatives (47%), the Senate and the Supreme Court register
almost the same overall approval and indecision scores (40% versus 43% and 44% versus
38%, respectively). These institutions record practically the same national disapproval
figures (16% to 17%). (Please refer to Table 7.)

In the different geographic areas and socio-economic groupings, basically the same
approval and indecision figures are recorded by the Senate (36% to 44% versus 42% to
44%). The only exception is Metro Manila where the plurality sentiment toward the
Senates performance is one of ambivalence (46%). As for the House of Representatives,
near to bare majorities in Metro Manila (51%), the Visayas (45%), and Class D (48%) are
unable to say if they approve or disapprove of its work. Almost the same approval and
indecision ratings are obtained by the Lower House in the rest of Luzon (38% versus 47%),
Mindanao (39% versus 47%), Class ABC (33% versus 48%), and Class E (35% versus 43%).
In the case of the Supreme Court, appreciation is the plurality opinion about its work
among those in Class E (45%). The latter posts essentially or exactly the same approval
11
and indecision figures in Metro Manila (43% versus 38%), the rest of Luzon (41% versus
39%), the Visayas (44% versus 33%), Mindanao (49% versus 40%), Class ABC (both at
41%), and Class D (44% versus 39%).
Between March and June 2015, the only significant changes in the performance ratings of
these government institutions occur in Metro Manila and these are the: (1) increase in the
levels of indecision toward the work done by the Senate and the House of Representatives
(+13 and +15 percentage points, respectively) and (2) drop in the disapproval figures of
these legislative bodies (both at -14 percentage points). (Please refer to Table 8.)
