adult Filipinos satisfied, 12% neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 9% dissatisfied with the general

performance of the current National Administration, for a new record-high net satisfaction rating of +70

Excellent in Mindanao and NCR; Very Good in Balance Luzon and Visayas

The 12-point gain in the Duterte Administration’s general net satisfaction rating between

Survey background

The December 2017 Social Weather Survey was conducted from December 8-16, 2017 using face-

to-face interviews of 1,200 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide: 300 each in Metro Manila, Balance

Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao (sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages, and ±6% each

for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao).

The area estimates were weighted by Philippine Statistics Authority medium-population

projections for 2017 to obtain the national estimates.

The Social Weather Survey items on public satisfaction with the general performance of the

National Administration, and its performance on specific subjects, are non-commissioned. These items

were included on SWS's own initiative and released as a public service.

The satisfaction rating of the general performance of the National Administration is based on a

single question, and is not an average of answers to separate questions on specific subjects. The general

rating is repeated every quarter, whereas only a core of the specific subject-ratings are repeated. Subjects

are included or excluded depending on their contemporary salience.

The survey question on public satisfaction with the overall performance of the national

administration is as follows: “Sa pangkalahatan, gaano po kayo nasisiyahan o hindi nasisiyahan sa

kasalukuyang administrasyong nasyonal? Kayo po ba ay LUBOS NA NASISIYAHAN, MEDYO

NASISIYAHAN, HINDI TIYAK KUNG NASISIYAHAN O HINDI, MEDYO HINDI NASISIYAHAN, o

LUBOS NA HINDI NASISIYAHAN? [On the overall, how satisfied or dissatisfied are you with the present

national administration? Are you VERY SATISFIED, SOMEWHAT SATISFIED, UNDECIDED IF

SATISFIED OR NOT, SOMEWHAT DISSATISFIED, or VERY DISSATISFIED?]”

For the specific subjects, the survey questions are as follows: “GAANO PO KAYO NASISIYAHAN

O HINDI NASISIYAHAN SA PAMAMALAKAD NG KASALUKUYANG ADMINISTRASYONG

NASYONAL TUNGKOL SA (PROGRAMS OR ACTIVITIES)? MASASABI BA NINYONG KAYO AY

LUBOS NA NASISIYAHAN, MEDYO NASISIYAHAN, HINDI TIYAK KUNG NASISIYAHAN O HINDI,

SWS MEDIA RELEASE

SWS terminology for Net Satisfaction Ratings: +70 and above, "excellent"; +50 to +69, "very

good"; +30 to +49, "good"; +10 to +29, "moderate", +9 to –9, "neutral"; –10 to –29, "poor"; –30 to –

49, "bad"; –50 to –69, "very bad"; –70 and below, "execrable"]. A single-digit net satisfaction is

considered not significantly different from zero. SWS considers the movement from one classification to

another as either an "upgrade" or "downgrade".

SWS employs its own staff for questionnaire design, sampling, fieldwork, data-processing, and

analysis, and does not outsource any of its survey operations. This report was prepared by Gianne Sheena

S. Sabio.
