The new net rating is a 12-point drop from net -26 (27% satisfied, 54% dissatisfied) in the First Quarter 2008 Survey of March 28-31 .It is the fourth consecutive quarterly drop in her net rating since June 2007, when it was a neutral -3.

The President’s net satisfaction rating in the Visayas, where she customarily draws her strongest support, fell by 18 points from -15 in March (36% satisfied, 51% dissatisfied) to a record-low -33 in June (23% satisfied, 56% dissatisfied).
In Mindanao, it fell by 8 points, from -33 (26% satisfied, 59% dissatisfied) to -41 (21% satisfied, 62% dissatisfied), also a new record-low for the area.

Survey Background
The Second Quarter of 2008 Social Weather Survey was conducted over June 27-30, 2008 using face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults divided into random samples of 300 each in Metro Manila, the Balance of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao (sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages and ±6% for area percentages). The area estimates were weighted by National Statistics Office medium-population projections for 2008 to obtain the national estimates.
The quarterly Social Weather Survey on public satisfaction with the President is a non-commissioned item, and is included on SWS’s own initiative and released as a public service, with first printing rights assigned to BusinessWorld.
-38, the newest rating is still too high for the bitch!
Gloria’s katas ng VAT (dole-outs) and randam ang kaunlaran (progress being felt) propaganda adds more anger and frustrations on her thieving regime. The recent SWS survey reflects the true sentiments of the Filipino people. Why is Gloria Arroyo still in power? She has the military-police, rubber stamp Congress and Arroyo Supreme Court to shield her. Anak ng jueteng, patalsikin na!
yung mga kabarkada ko, nag me-meet kami tuwing friday after 5:00.
siyempre konting inuman, sarap na pulutan at pinaguusapan ang mga nangyayari si kapaligiran. me tawanan din.
tapos mayamaya pa, pag ere ng 24 Oras o TV Patrol, biglang tahimik ng konti, nakikinig. pilit iniintindi ang bawat bigkas ng reporter, ang bawat salot na nangyayari sa pinas.
at kung lumabas ang mga alipores ni gloria, biglang ingay na nagmumura ang karamihan, sabay raise ng dirty finger (kina yap, neri, razon, reyes atbp.) sa tv. tawanan ulit.
at pag si gloria mismo ang nagsasalita, ayun agawan na ng remote at lipat channel kaagad….
mahirap na.
pagkatapos ng news, lipat na kami ng venue. sa me videoke, kantahan na naman. pilit nililibang ang aming mga sarili, pilit makalimutan kahit sagli ang tindi ng kahirapan.
kami ang dirty finger gang. 😉
Chi,
Ang kapal talaga ng mukha ni Pandack Omama. -45% na ang rating kapit tuko pa rin.
Si Shinzo Abe ng Japan, nang bumagsak ang rating niya ng 35.8% bumaba na. Mas qualified pa iyong kesa kay Dorobo ha. Iyong kapalit niya, mukhang malapit na ring bumaba, may tinatapos lang yata kasi mahina rin ang rating.
Kaya bilib ka sa mga kurakot sa Pilipinas, pakapalan ng mukha!
Pag pumunta ulit dito si Pandak, balak namin mag-rally doon mismo sa harap ng hotel na tutuluyan niya. Tapos magma-martsa kami na nakataas iyong middle finger namin na nakaturo sa pagmumukha niya.
Sa Pilipinas, dapat ganyan ang ginagawa ng mga taumbayan lalo na kung darating siya para sa photo-op niya. Tignan natin kung tatablan ng hiya. Patalsikin na iyan, ngayon din!
As usual, she would say popularity is not important, it’s the governance. Another excuse Malacanang usually gives is that the survey company was commissioned by the opposition and paid. Never will this Evil Bitch admit she’s hated by the people. Well, she doesn’t even admit she’s short.
Is JDV playing games? Now he says he may testify in August. The Senators have been waiting for him for six months. JDV said he was not ready due to health reasons. Damn!
Bad news…Koko Pimentel lost his case to Supreme Court. Gaynator Migz Zubiri is now officially the 12th Gaynator. Supreme Court, as you all know, is now Malacanang’s rubber stamp.
And the Palace mouthpieces already found some alibis and among them the high prices of commodities and energy forgetting that “good leaders” Rise in Time of Crisis and meet the Challenge Head On and Triumph..she is a Loser..
From day one of Gloria’s fake reign, her popularity and governance sink together with her own-made crises, but gains so much ill gotten wealth that apparently is her only concern why she stole the presidency, “not once but twice”. Hindi pa tapos magnakaw ng power ang bitch.
This is the only president (kuno) who has the habit of making excuses for her daily kapalpakan, never realizing that “good leaders rise in time of crisis” (Vic). Pilit na sumingit lang kasi! Gloria is a big “loser”, indeed.
Saw the new picture of Dorobo. Golly, iyong leeg, puro kulubot na pero iyong mukha nakahila. Dapat ina-account kung galing sa treasury ang pinangre-retoke niyan sa mukha niya. Ang paaaaaaangiiiiit! Nakalaylay na ang mga balat sa leeg na galing yata sa mukha niya. Nahila lahat sa bandang leeg! Yuck!
Malacanang is blaming again on rice and high price of oil as if the Evil Bitch’s rating was hight before the increase. What an Evil Shit !
Sabi ni Gerry Baja ng Abante, kaya -38 si Gloria ay sapagkat “Habang maraming Filipino ang naghahanap ng mga nawawalang kapamilya dahil kay Frank at Sulpicio… ang MAHAL NA PANGULO ay nasa Amerika at ang hinahanap ay si Barack Obama”.
Gloria Korap won over herself. Imagine, her lowest rating before this current one was -33 in May 2005.
Pati ba naman sa rating ay ayaw matalo ng iba, swapang talaga!
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
SUMMA CUM LOUSY.
She better not blame Barack Obama for her lousy rating. She blames everyone but herself.
I can’t wait to hear what’s her SONA is gonna be! Hahaha!
Wala na talagang tiwala ng mga Pinoy sa pekeng pamahalaan ni Glorya. Kakapalan na lang ng mukha kaya nandiyan pa sila …. o di kaya pinupuno pa nila ang sako ng yaman nila ng mga perang pinagpaguran ng sang-kabayanan mayaman man o mahirap. Na ang mga perang nahahakot nila ay ginagawa lang pambayad sa mga ari-arian na binili sa ibang Bansa. Sampol na lang si Puno …. may Rantso sa Virginia USA … kung hinuhulugan niya ito …. kaya ba ng sahod niya(as Interior Secretary) sa buwanang hulog niya sana sa Bangko? Yong mga ari-arian na lang ng mga Arroyo sa u s of a …. kung ilan man yan …. kaya ba nilang tustusan ang mga bayarin sa perang sahod nila. Kaya yang asawa niya ay nangungurakot para may pambayad o baka bayad na dahil sa laki ng ang kurakot niya. Pakapalan lang talaga ng mukha. Kaya nga sabi ni Glorya weder weder lang yan.
Grizzy, tama yan. dapat nakataas iyong middle finger habang nagmamartsa.
ok rin kung ang mga effigy ay pawang mga dirty fingers. at kung marami kayong magmartsa na nakataas iyong middle finger, puede kayong tawaging “dirty finger brigade.”
sabihin na nila na immature kung immature, e kung yun ang nararamdaman natin, di raise your dirty middle fingers!
Maganda pa, langhab, to make the middle finger really noticeable and look dirty, kailangang pinturahan ng nail polish na itim. Ganda siguro ng effect kahit na iyong kapamuks hindi na yata tatablan ng hiya.
Red should be the color of the nail polish. Red is attractive and can easily be seen; and it happens to be the favorite color of the Evil Shit. Remember her red panty?
Red is the color of felicity para sa mga intsik that’s why the Feng Shui believer Pandack wears red every time she meets Dubya, et al. Black will be good. Tapos may placard sila ng kamay na nakataas iyong middle finger with the black nail polish, tindi! Pati iyong mga pulis ni Razon, duruin din nila ng dirty middle finger.
Buti pa nga iyong mga police ng Tokyo, napapasalamatan kasi gentlemen. They don’t act like hoodlums in uniform gaya noong mga police daw ng PNP na dapat ay mga enforcers of peace and order hindi iyong sila pa ang nag-uudyok sa mga protesters na maging violent. I saw some video clips that I translated for a TV network here. Muntik akong masuka! Nasaan na iyong mga dating Manila’s Finest? Calling, calling Mayor Lim? Pakitayo naman ang dangal ng mga pulis ng Maynila, puede ba?
BTW, here are some funny quotes that hopefully the publicity machinery of Gloria Dorobo no matter how much expensive they are paid in dollars and pesos will not say this of her:
Heaven forbid!
Malacañang’s Cerge Remonde reacts to latest SWS survey results:
The result is obviously due to the problems confronting the country brought about by the global food and energy crises. The President is paying a high price for making the right decisions on very unpopular issues such as E-VAT.
But while the President is sensitive to public opinion, she took an oath that requires her to do what is right and not what is popular. It’s very unfair to a very dedicated and hardworking President like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
But this is part of the burden of leadership that all leaders in the world, including US President Bush, must carry. To whom much responsibility is given, much is required. It’s never easy to be President of the Philippines.
“..But while the President is sensitive to public opinion, she took an oath that requires her to do what is right and not what is popular. It’s very unfair to a very dedicated and hardworking President like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.”
So how does one interpret giving dole outs to a chosen few ? Isn’t that a populist move ? We should modify what Lap Dog Cerge Remonde said to, “It’s very unfair to a very dedicated and hardworking CORRUPT President like Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.”
Being the President of ANY country is difficult especially when your mandate to lead is in question, more so when majority of your people doubt you even won as president. Lap Dog remonde should not even compare Gloria the “leaders of the world”, except leaders who are shady like Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Gloria is in that category.
60% of the people do not like and trust Gloria. Period. There is no spinning that. Filipinos are smart enough to know that the oil prices is not because of Gloria. What is Gloria’s fault, however is the E-VAT. The E-VAT is because of Gloria. She wants to have more money to use for her squatter politics !
Remonde’s president made “very unpopular” issues/decisions. The only very unpopular issue I know is Gloria Arroyo!
Ha!ha!ha! Pea brained Remonde, masakit tumawa sa parte namin…pero sige na nga, sira-ulo naman kayong lahat sa EK!
Re: It’s never easy to be President of the Philippines.
He should say: It’s not easy to be a great pretender and usurper. Cerge Remonde is a good actor. Blame game is over!
According to the SWS 60% of the people are “dissatisfied with the performance of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, giving her a Net Satisfaction rating of -38 (% satisfied minus % dissatisfied).”
It would be interesting to watch the weeks and months to follow. This latest Net Satisfaction rating “is a new record-low for Presidents since 1986..” is in a dangerous level.
When a person is in panic mode, he/she is unreasonable & does not make sense anymore. Listen to the comments coming from Malacanan & from Gloria’s Lap Dogs. Are they making sense ?
I can just imagine GMA’s allies getting worried these days. Those politicians identified with her and her party. Other than the greed for funds and money, many know it’s a “Kiss of Death” to be endorsed by her. Expect many to jump ship as the campaign and election fever start.
Tignan mo pa lamang si Gloria Arroyo, ay alam mo na agad na ito ay walang malasakit sa sambayanan. Ang kanyang pangunahing pakay ay manatili sa poder upang mabuhay ng parang reyna, habang patuloy na nagpapakasasa ang pamilya at mga alipores!
Mr. Cerge Remonde, hindi tanga ang mga Pilipino! Si Gloria ang puno at dulo ng paghihirap ng Pilipinas ngayon!
THE PEOPLE, NOT SURVEYS, SHOULD JUDGE President Macapagal-Arroyo’s performance, says Malacanang. What a stupid defense! The people already judged her. The people hate her!
Even if the rating of Pandak is zero (0) she will still be in power. She will not heed the cries of the Filipinos. All she is interested is power and greed. Marcos was that powerful before and his family are still filthy rich. We don’t hear any more from those Bastards that ransacked the treasury of the Philippines. Imelda is still one of the richest woman in Asia. Her children still has deposits overseas by the billions. All the past Presidents and their cronies have ransacked the Philippine Treasury. Pandak might have stashed away billions of dollars overseas. Watch out for the next to be President, she or he will do the same.
Therefore Dandaw, we’re certain that the Pidal family has followed what the Marcos family did and even much better. Of course the Pidals have long prepared for their departure.
Dandaw: Watch out for the next to be President, she or he will do the same.
******
I don’t think so. Not, if the Filipino voters will not allow a crook to be elected.
Golly, tignan ninyo na lang iyong protest ni Koko Pimentel! Sa Japan iyan, aaraw-arawin ng mga concerned citizen ang COMELEC at Supreme Court ng protesta hangga’t hindi nila ulitin ang election doon sa mga lugar na may dayaan para mabilang ng tama ang mga boto. Sabi ng mga bobo kasi, “Bakit nakakain ba iyan?” Yuck! Puro kasi paporma lang! 🙁
Of course I want the Filipinos to vote for the right candidate. Is there anybody that is promising at this point? Trillanes is a promising candidate that is why Pandak put him in jail. It seems like that was the strategy of Pandak to check-mate the strongest candidate first before he or she can gain momentum. Pandak has all the resources and she learned a lesson from Marcos. In a power struggle there are always dishonest people that will do the dirty job of rigging elections. Pandak defeated Fernando Poe by engaging Garci. The problem with some Pinoys, their vote can be bought for a few pesos. Ignorance still persist in the barangays. I don’t know when can see a clean election in the Phil.
