Pnoy's satisafaction rating could have been much lower - Bayan

MANILA, Philippines - The  performance rating of President Benigno III will continue to slide  as the Social Weather Station poll did not cover the issue of the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program, militant group Bayan said on Monday.

The President's satisfaction rating of +45 in March slipped to +29 in the latest survey conducted by the SWS.

"The survey also did not take into account the DAP issue which heightened on July 1, when the Supreme Court decision came out," Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr. said.

The Aquino administration's performance could have been lower as the poll rating also did not cover the President's threats against the High Court and the impeachment complaints filed by various groups against him, Reyes added.

"Aquino is becoming more  and more isolated because of his anti- people economic policies," he said.

"In the coming days expect more mass actions demanding accountability from the regime," Reyes said.
