An official of the Archdiocese of Capiz questioned the result of a recent survey made by the Social Weather Stations (SWS), which claimed that President Benigno Aquino got a high satisfaction rating from survivors of super typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda).
Fr Mark Granflor, director for the Social Action Centre of the Archdiocese of Capiz, said their parishioners were aided by the church, foreign countries and groups, non-government organisations (NGO) and other religious communities.
The SWS survey, which was conducted from December 11 to 16 through face-to-face interviews of 1,550 adults in Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, showed that 13% of Filipino families gave Aquino a “very good” +54 net satisfaction rating.
“The December 2013 survey found higher satisfaction ratings for President Benigno Aquino among victims of Yolanda compared to those who were not victimised by the super typhoon,” the survey said.
The priest however believed that the respondents of the survey were possibly those who received help from the government.
Palo Archbishop John Du likewise questioned the survey result, saying that victims of the typhoon had not received substantial help from the government.
