    Three out of the countrys top five national government officials obtainmajority approval ratings in May 2012; Filipinos are most appreciative of thework done by Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay (81%)

    President Benigno S. Aquino III (67%), Vice-President Binay (81%) and SenatePresident Juan Ponce Enrile (68%) succeed in scoring majority approval ratingsin the latter part of May 2012. On the other hand, most Filipinos are critical of theperformance of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato C. Corona (60%). As forHouse Speaker Feliciano R. Belmonte, Jr., nearly the same percentages of

    Filipinos aware of him either approve of his performance (37%) or expressindecision on the matter (42%). (Please refer to Table 1.)

    ratings in these survey sub-groupings (56% to 67% and 58% to 65%,respectively). Among Mindanaoans and those in Class E, the plurality sentimenttoward House Speaker Belmontes performance is one of indecision (44% and41%, respectively). However, the House Speaker obtains practically the sameapproval and indecision figures in the other geographic areas (36% to 42% versus

    34% to 45%) and socio-economic classes (39% versus 42% to 44%). (Please refer toTable 2.)

    (In Percent)

    The performance ratings of these top officials of the Philippine nationalgovernment both at the national level and across geographic areas and socio-economic groupings remain generally unchanged between March and May2012. The double-digit decline in the approval ratings of President Aquino (-11

    percentage points) and House Speaker Belmonte (-12 percentage points) in MetroManila as well as the double-digit increase in the level of indecision towardpresidential performance recorded among Metro Manilans (+10 percentagepoints) fall short of being significant in light of the +/- 6 percentage points errormargin in the different geographic areas.

In the case of House Speaker Belmonte, big pluralities to smallmajorities in all socio-economic classes (43% to 53%) and virtually everygeographic area (42% to 57%) are ambivalent on the matter of trusting or

    and House of Representatives (49% and 51%, respectively). Meanwhile, nearmajorities of those in Classes D and E approve of the Senates work (48% and50%, respectively). In the case of the Lower House, it scores a near majorityapproval rating (49%) in Class E but almost the same percentages of those inClass D either appreciate its performance or are ambivalent about it (44% versus

    40%). (Please refer to Table 7.)

    As for the Supreme Courts performance, Metro Manilans are split about thematter with 39% expressing approval, 32% being undecided about the matterand 28% criticizing it. The Supreme Court posts almost the same approval andindecision ratings in the rest of Luzon (41% versus 39%) and all socio-economicclasses (36% to 45% versus 33% versus 44%). In the Visayas and Mindanao,approval is the plurality sentiment toward the Supreme Courts work (50% and47%, respectively). (Please refer to Table 7.)

    Across geographic areas and socio-economic classes, the performance ratings ofCongress and the Supreme Court remain generally unchanged between Marchand May 2012. The only marked movement during this period occurs in theVisayas a decline in the level of indecision toward the performance of theSenate (-14 percentage points). Slight changes in the Senates approval rating inMindanao (-11 percentage points) and its disapproval rating in the Visayas (+12percentage points) may also be noted.

    The Senate, House of Representatives and Supreme Court record essentiallythe same trust (41% to 44%) and indecision (41% to 47%) ratings in May 2012

    While 41% to 44% of Filipinos express trust in Congress and the Supreme Court,41% to 47% cannot say if they trust or distrust these government institutions. Onthe other hand, 10% to 18% of Filipinos distrust Congress and the SupremeCourt. No significant changes in the overall trust ratings of these entities may beobserved between March and May 2012. Even the decline in the Senates overalltrust rating (-6 percentage points) and the corresponding increase in the level ofambivalence toward its trustworthiness (+6 percentage points) still fall within thesurveys overall error margin of +/- 3 percentage points.

    Visayans grant the Senate and House of Representatives near majority trustratings (49% and 50%, respectively). In contrast, majorities in the rest of Luzon(51%) and Class ABC (58% to 60%) express indecision as regards the

    trustworthiness of these lawmaking bodies. Practically the same trust andindecision ratings are obtained by the Senate and House of Representatives inMindanao (43% versus 46% and 42% versus 47%, respectively), Class D (43%versus 47% and 40% versus 48%, respectively) and Class E (both at 48% versus41%). Among Metro Manilans, the majority sentiment toward the House ofRepresentatives is one of indecision (51%) while in the case of the Senate, nearlythe same percentages either trust the institution (43%) or are ambivalent about itstrustworthiness (47%). (Please refer to Table 9.)

    Meanwhile, near to small majorities of those in Metro Manila and Class ABC(47% and 59%, respectively) are unable to say whether they trust or distrust theSupreme Court while a near majority of Visayans (48%) expresses trust towardthe institution. Around the same percentages of those in the rest of Luzon (41%versus 43%), Mindanao (40% versus 41%), Class D (42% versus 40%) and Class E(43% versus 40%) either trust the Supreme Court or are undecided as regards itstrustworthiness.
