MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero acknowledged that his high approval rating is due to the collective efforts of his colleagues in the Senate, stating that they have all played a role in delivering results for the public.
“We thank the people for recognizing the work being done here in the Senate. My commitment as Senate President is to ensure the Senate continues to work for the people—passing legislation to make their lives easier, help us move faster, and lighten our people’s burdens,” Escudero said.
In the latest Pulse Asia Survey, Escudero received a majority approval rating of 60 percent, the highest mark recorded in the poll.
The Senate chief said the rating reflects the Senate’s dedication to passing meaningful legislation and addressing issues that affect good governance and the rule of law.
Escudero also noted his disapproval rating of just 8 percent, making him the only top government official with a single-digit disapproval score.
He further attributed the Senate’s strong performance to the improved relationship between the Senate and the House of Representatives.
“Sisiguraduhin natin na walang masasayang na oras sa Senado pagdating sa pagsulong ng mga batas na makabuluhan, hindi lang para sa sambayanang Pilipino, kundi pati rin ‘yung mahahalaga sa mga pamahalaang lokal,” Escudero added.
