President Rodrigo Duterte, meanwhile, remained the most trusted top government official with a 74-percent rating and 78-percent approval rating. Cayetano is Duterte’s running mate in the 2016 elections and the latter’s choice in the speakership race.Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate has said that the 11-percent drop in Duterte’s trust rating in the latest survey could be due to the “high prices of commodities and the administration’s pro-China policy.
The Nacionalista Party , Cayetano’s political party, meanwhile attributed Cayetano’s rating to the chamber’s “accomplishments” such as the swift approval of the proposed P4.1 trillion national budget for 2020 and the speedy approval of the tax reform bills and economic reform measures that the President wanted to be prioritized.
After a swift one-month deliberation, the House passed the expenditure plan on September 20 and transmitted it to the Senate on October 1. However, members of the opposition questioned the hasty passage in which Zarate said the House had “sacrificed” proper scrutiny of programs and projects of the Duterte administration just to “railroad” its approval.House Majority Leader and Leyte Rep.
