Kabataan Party-list Rep. Sarah Elago believed that President Rodrigo Duterte’s trust and approval ratings will continue to go down in the remaining months 2019 due to his inefficient policies.

According to the latest Pulse Asia survey, the trust and approval will continue to slide in the remaining months 2019 due to the issues in the country's national penitentiary and police force.

“Inaasahan natin ang paglagapak pa ng grado ng pangulo sa mga susunod na buwan dahil sa paglala ng kahirapan at krisis sa pampublikong transportasyon,” said Elago.

The President’s trust and approval ratings suffered significantly in the third quarter due to controversies involving the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) and so called “ninja cops.”

In a report by Pulse Asia, the third quarter figures showed Duterte received a trust rating of 74 percent, an 11-point decrease from last quarter's 85 percent, after dropping in all areas except in his home region of Mindanao.

“Ngayon din nasisiwalat ang mga katiwalian sa loob ng gobyerno, korupsyon, Ninja cops at GCTA issue na kinakasangkutan ng mga matataaas na opisyal sa gobyerno,” said Elago.

The chief executive’s approval rating slipped to 78 percent in the third quarter in September from 85 percent in second quarter in June

“Madaming kailangang sagutin at panagutin ang gobyernong ito sa mamamayan,” she added.

Elago emphasized that Duterte’s economic policies hardly impress the Filipin people since prices of basic commodities remain high amidst the reported inflation slow down last month.

“Pasang-awa si Pangulong Duterte para sa masang Pilipino dahil sa patuloy na pagpapahirap nito sa mamamayan. Pagtaas ng presyo ng bigas, langis at ng mga bilihin dahil sa bagsak na programang pang ekonomiko nito,” said Elago.
