The 2019 SWS Survey Review113
SUMMARY-1
1 PRRD’s honeymoon has lasted 10 Qs so far
(PBSA’s lasted 15 Qs). Freedom of speech
seems steady. 2/3 are worried about his
health. The people recognize his vulgar
speech and haven’t let it affect their esteem
for his critics, like the ICC and UN.
2 The ratings of other high officials are steady
at customary levels; except that Speaker
Arroyo has not recovered from her past
unpopularity as President.
The 2019 SWS Survey Review114
SUMMARY-2
3 The report card grades of the admin are
generally Good; as usual the poorest
subject is Fighting Inflation.
4 The closure of Boracay was popular.
5 Attitudes towards a National ID are favorable.
6 Towards the BOL, most Filipinos are
indifferent; the opinion-balance is in favor.
Muslims, in particular, support it very
strongly. Familiarity with the BOL and
confidence in the MILF are strong positive
factors for the BARMM.

SUMMARY-3
7 The people support the campaign against
illegal drugs, but are disappointed with the
truthfulness of the police and their
unconcern for the lives of drug suspects.
They see the poor as the worst affected,
and are very worried about becoming EJK-
victims themselves.
8 Victimization by common crimes, as well as
insecurity of homes and streets, rose in
2018. However, the noticeability of drug
addicts stabilized.
The 2019 SWS Survey Review116
SUMMARY-4
9 Most Filipinos want to maintain the
Constitutional ban on the death penalty.
For almost all serious crimes, the majority
see life imprisonment as sufficient
punishment. The exception is Rape under
the influence of drugs, for which 47%
demand death, 44% call for life, and 9%
seek 20-40 years, in prison.
10 70% worry about becoming a victim of a
heinous crime, and 62% about being falsely
accused of committing such a crime.
The 2019 SWS Survey Review117
SUMMARY-5
11 Filipinos strongly agree (Net +34) that
arresting “tambays” is a violation of their
human rights. It discriminates against the
poor by a factor of 20:1. 68% are worried of
being themselves arrested for it.
12 For committing rape (63%) and murder
(59%) most Filipinos say youth-offenders
(<18 y/o) should be jailed. Only half (49%)
want jail for drug-couriers. Few seek jail
for stealing a cellphone (28%) or food (8%).
The 2019 SWS Survey Review118
SUMMARY-6
13 The median age of responsibility given by
those wanting minors jailed for a crime is
15 years old. (Note: only 49% want a minor
jailed for being a drug-courier.)
14 There is no let-up in the intense Filipino
antipathy towards China on account of
China’s occupation of islands in the West
Philippine Sea.
15 Filipinos continue to have a very high trust
in the United States, and a low trust in
China; there is no “Chinese rainbow.”
The 2019 SWS Survey Review119
SUMMARY-7
16 Filipinos strongly believe (Net +52) that the
US will defend the Philippines in case of
invasion by another country. 47% were
already aware of the Mutual Defense Treaty
before the survey.
17 The Gainers-Losers indicator recovered to
+12 in Q4 after having dropped to 0 in Q3 --
strongest in Mindanao (+18) and weakest in
Visayas (+3). Personal optimism and
optimism in the economy remain very high.
The 2019 SWS Survey Review120
SUMMARY-8
18 The annual average Self-Rated Poverty and
Food Poverty rates rose in 2016-18, after
falling in 2014-16. Half of Filipino families
feel poor (Q4). The median poverty gap of
poor families (P5,000/mo) is half of their
need for home expenses (P10,000/mo).
19 Hunger, however continues to slide. An
average 11% of families suffered hunger in
2018, a recovery from the great hump in
2005-14.

improvement over the last 6 years.
21 Satisfaction with how democracy works
continues to be very high. Those

22 Only 1 of 4 are aware that Federalism, of
whatever form, would create a new level of
local government, between the national
level and the provincial level.
The 2019 SWS Survey Review122
SUMMARY-10
23 After realizing that federalism would
essentially insert a new level of local
government, 37% are for it and 29% are
against it. There is no cry for federalism.
