Low score for Duterte on Internet service, traffic in Metro Manila from Davao folks
PRESIDENT RODRIGO R. Duterte received an overall 89.38% approval rating from his hometown Davao City in a survey based on his campaign promises conducted by the Institute of Popular Opinion (IPO) of the University of Mindanao. The study, which involved 1,200 respondents, was undertaken from May 17-26 this year. “What we have is a problem of speed, access is different from speed,” IPO Director for Quantitative Studies Dr. Adrian M. Tamayo said in a press conference yesterday, explaining the President’s 76.15% mark on Internet service. On solving the traffic congestion in Metro Manila, with a score of 72.15%, Mr. Tamayo said while the problem does not directly affect people from Davao City, it is an issue they can relate to. — Carmencita A.
