The Third Quarter 2008 Social Weather Survey, fielded over September 24-27, 2008, found 61% satisfied and 17% dissatisfied with the performance of Senate President Manuel Villar Jr.
The SWS survey confirms that the latest coup was politically motivated by the presidentiables. Manny Villar stills enjoys the credibility among the Filipino people but his fellow Senators still booted him out.
Senate President Villar’s net satisfaction (% satisfied minus % dissatisfied) is at +43, the highest compared to Vice-President de Castro’s +34 or Speaker Nograles’ -12.
