Duterte Government Delighted With Country’s Record-High Happiness Among Filipinos


Malacañan is delighted with the results of the latest survey showing record-high happiness among Filipinos.

“SWS survey on happiness level is at 91 percent. It’s a group of happy Filipinos,” Presidential Spokesman Ernesto Abella said in a recent Palace news conference.

Abella partially attributed the happiness level of Filipinos to the country’s steady economic growth as well as improved peace and order situation since President Rodrigo Duterte came into power.

“Around this time, the economy of the Philippines is on the upswing at 6.6 percent during the last quarter,” he said.

“People likewise feel safer and more secure with more than eight out of 10 Filipinos attributing this to the President’s anti-drug war,” he added.

Malacañan earlier pledged to “surge ahead” its campaign against illegal drugs and crimes after welcoming a survey showing majority of Metro Manila residents feels safe due to such government’s peace and order drive.

“The Administration’s drug war is well-received by the people on the ground in sharp contrast to the gloom and hopelessness depicted by the President’s critics,” he said.

The Presidential Spokesman said the government hopes to continue to get the cooperation of the community, and even support of the clergy, especially in the implementation of a rehabilitation program for drug surrenders.

Abella stated that nine out of 10 Filipinos considered themselves happy with their life based on the SWS survey conducted last December.

“The latest happiness rating in the country is the highest score in 20 years,” he said.

The December survey showed 46 percent of Filipinos considered themselves “very happy” with life while 45 percent were “fairly happy.”

Seven percent of the 1,500 respondents were “not very happy” while the remaining two percent were “not happy at all.”
