Survey shows Duterte still popular
THE PALACE thanked the Filipinos after President Rodrigo Duterte’s net satisfaction rating jumped by six points in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey and this “puts a lie to critics and detractors.”
The fourth quarter SWS survey conducted in December showed 74 percent of Filipinos are satisfied with the performance of the first President from Mindanao. The figure is four points higher compared to the third quarter survey.
According to the pollster, the “undecided” fell by three points from 14 percent and “dissatisfaction” dropped by a point from 16 percent, giving Duterte a “very good” net satisfaction rating of +60, which is higher compared to +54 last September.
“We thank the Filipino people for their continued support for the President, as such only motivates us to unceasingly work harder and serve them better as we aim for the best for the Philippines and its people,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said.
Panelo said the consistent satisfaction rating of the President puts a lie to critics and detractors who find nothing good in his style of governance. “The support of the Filipinos for our Chief Executive also sends a strong message to foreign human rights groups and foreign governments to put a stop to their baseless and unkind accusations on his war on drugs,” he said.
“In addition, the survey result is a slap on their faces for their outrageous intrusion on the sovereignty of our country.” The survey, which showed an uptick in all socioeconomic classes, Panelo said, would encourage Duterte to continue his war against all forms of criminality and corruption.
He said it will also encourage the President to pursue “unrelenting dismantling of the drug apparatus and destruction of the drug syndicate; to crush once and for all the Muslim rebellion, communist insurgency and terrorism in the country; to keep improving the social services given to (the) people; and to end the assaults on our natural resources and environment.”
“The scorecard on the President's performance rating similarly shows the correct foreign policy he has embarked (on),” Panelo said. Duterte’s six-point rise was due to increases of 22 points in Metro Manila, 13 points in the Visayas, and three points in Balance of Luzon. He suffered a four-point decline, though, from +82 but still has excellent satisfaction rating in Mindanao.
The President has received a higher urban net satisfaction rating, registering a huge 22-point increase from +42 points in September. Duterte’s net satisfaction rating also rose in all socioeconomic classes, among both men and women, in all age groups, except 45-54, and among high school and college graduates. (Jelly Musico)

DOH elated on Universal Health Care bill
AIMING TO ensure that every Filipino shall receive affordable and quality health benefits, the Department of Health (DOH) welcomes the expected signing of the Universal Health Care (UHC) bill into law.
The bill's reconciled version came following the approved Senate Bill No. 1896 and House Bill No. 5784 in November.
Both the upper and lower chambers now have to ratify the reconciled version of the bill before it can be signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte. It seeks to enroll automatically all Filipinos in the National Health Insurance Program.
The membership in the program can be direct or indirect. Direct membership is for those who can pay health premiums, while indirect membership is for those who are sponsored like senior citizens and indigents. The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) will handle the program.
“The Bicameral Conference Committee's approval of the Universal Health Care Bill is continued positive news for all Filipinos. I applaud this progress and commend all members of the Senate and Congress involved for getting this done. The UHC will bring the much-needed reform of our health care system and provide every Filipino a quality and affordable health care each one deserves,” Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said.
The UHC bill, when enacted to law, will catalyze reforms for the health care system in the Philippines, particularly strengthening primary care services, through PhilHealth. Duque said it would also correct the inefficiencies in the current health system, as it will empower community health units in the provision of quality health care to every Filipino.
“What makes our current health system inefficient and expensive is people with the most simple health issues go now to the third level, the hospitals, kaya naman mapangasiwaan ito sa barangay (which can be attended to at the community) health stations, which are basic delivery units closest to the communities,” he said.
Duque explained this practice would help Filipinos lower their expenses on health care, since they don’t have to travel far just to receive treatment for common health disorders. He said about P257 billion would be needed to implement UHC in its first year.
During his third State of the Nation Address, Duterte signified his support to the bill by ensuring its adequate funding through the department's annual budget, 50 percent of the national government's share in the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation's earnings, 40 percent of the fund, net of documentary stamp tax payments and mandatory contributions of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, PhilHealth members' contributions, Government subsidies to PhilHealth, and revenues from the sin taxes.
"Considering the existing budget, the funding gap is estimated to be around PHP164.04 billion, and to lessen these funding gaps increase in tobacco taxes are seen important," Duque said. In connection with this, DOH is still pushing for a P90 per pack increase in tobacco excise tax, which would be beneficial for the full implementation of the UHC bill.
This is despite the decision of the house committee on ways and means to increase the excise taxes on tobacco products from the current P32.50 to P37.50 only in July 2019. "Not only will it provide funding to UHC, but also the reduction of smoking prevalence in the country," Duque said. (Maria Teresa Montemayor)
