Vice President Jejomar Binay’s net satisfaction rating fell by nine percentage points but stayed in “good” territory in the third quarter survey of the Social Weather Stations (SWS).

About six in 10 Filipinos or 58 percent expressed satisfaction with the performance of Binay while 25 percent were dissatisfied, giving him a net satisfaction score of +33.

The Vice President’s satisfaction rating last June was +42 (64 percent satisfied, 22 percent dissatisfied).

Rico Quicho, vice presidential spokesman for political affairs, played down the nine-point decline in the Vice President’s satisfaction rating.

“In the latest SWS survey, 58 percent of respondents are satisfied with the work of Vice President Binay. The results of the different surveys strengthen the resolve of the Vice President to continue to fight for his pro-poor programs that he has started in Makati,” he said.

“He will continue to present his platform that is based on uplifting the lives of the people and ensuring that the ineptness and iniquities displayed by the present administration will cease,” Quicho said.
