Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III on Sunday, November 12, attributed President Rodrigo Duterte’s tough stance against criminals as the reason why he’s the most popular and most trusted out of the four most recent chief executives.

“I think it’s because he is the only one who responded to the clamor of the public to address the number one problem of peace and order in the country which is illegal drugs,” he said.

These issues, Sotto pointed out, were not prioritized by other administrations “and the last one did not even address it.”

The senator said these were also part of the platform of government that President Duterte presented during his presidential campaign which obviously earned the approval of the voters.

In the comparison made by Pulse Asia, President Duterte received 80 percent trust and approval rating, higher than those of his predecessors, Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Joseph “Erap” Estrada.

The polling firm also noted that President Duterte is the most trusted president upon assuming office with an initial trust rating of 91 percent in July 2016.
