Vice President Jejomar C. Binay ended 2013 with a “very good” rating in the fourth quarter survey of Social Weather Stations (SWS).

            The survey showed that 75 percent of the respondents were satisfied with the Vice President’s performance, while 13 percent were dissatisfied.

            SWS said Binay scored +62 net satisfaction rating in its December 11-16, 2013 survey.

            This is the seventh “very good” rating for the Vice President since 2010, with SWS also noting that he scored seven “excellent” ratings since assuming office.

            “I thank everyone for appreciating the service I have rendered as Vice President, as presidential adviser on Overseas Filipino Workers’ concerns and as head of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council,” Binay said.

            “Your confidence and faith in what I do inspire me more to give my best for our people,” he added.

            The poll also indicated that among the top government officials in the country, Binay remains to have the highest satisfaction rating.

            In the same survey, Senate President Franklin Drilon got a +25 rating (52 percent satisfied, 26 percent dissatisfied).

            House of Representatives Speaker Feliciano Belmonte scored +16 (41 percent satisfied, 25 percent dissatisfied).

            Supreme Court Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno also received a score of +16 (40 percent satisfied, 25 percent dissatisfied).

            SWS classifies net satisfaction ratings as follows: +70 and above, “excellent”; +50 to +69, “very good”; +30 to +49, “good”; +10 to +29, “moderate”; +9 to -9, “neutral”; -10 to -29, “poor”; -30 to -49, “bad”; -50 to -69, “very bad”; and -70 and below, “execrable.”

            The December SWS survey used face-to-face interviews with 1,550 adult Filipinos.
