Despite looming concerns about the use of confidential funds, Sara Duterte received high trust ratings as Vice President and secretary of the Department of Education, Tangere’s September 2023 survey showed.
According to the survey results released on Friday, Sept. 22, 70 percent of Filipinos trust Duterte as vice president.
“The trust on the vice president is mainly driven by Mindanao dwellers, and distrust or doubt is heavily prevalent among the younger (18 to 25-year-olds) and senior (51 years old and above) age groups, as well as Southern Luzon/Bicol Region dwellers,” Tangere said.
“Mirroring the result of the trust for VP Sara. The trust for VP Sara as the DepEd secretary remains the same at a 70 percent score. However, like the previous trust question, distrust is among the young and senior age group, as well as Southern Luzon/Bicol Region dwellers,” it pointed out.
During the same survey period, 56 percent of respondents were aware of Vice President Duterte’s proposed confidential funds.
“The knowledge or awareness is being propelled more by the younger age group (18 to 25-year-olds) and the upper income class,” Tangere said.
Meanwhile, six out of 10 Filipinos are concerned that the confidential fund may be larger than the funds of the Department of National Defense—a concern that is particularly strong among the younger age group.
Tangere’s survey, which was administered from Sept. 13 to 15 using a mobile-based respondent application, has a sample size of 2,400 participants.
The percentage of respondents was evenly distributed throughout the country, with 12 percent coming from Metro Manila, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.
