1 Page 1 of 5 June 2006 Social Weather Survey: NO VOTE IN CHA-CHA PLEBISCITE RISES TO 67%; ONLY 6.8% HAVE SIGNED AN INITIATIVE-PETITION Mahar Mangahas Social Weather Stations The Social Weather Survey of June 22-28, 2006 finds that those intending to vote No, if a plebiscite to approve constitutional amendments were held today, have grown to a solid majority of 67% of all Filipino adults, compared to a small majority of 56% in the previous SWS national survey of March 8-14, Among those surveyed, only 15% had been approached to sign a petition favoring constitutional amendments. Among them there were 6.8 percentage points who signed, 7.2 percentage points who did not sign, and a one-point balance who would not say if they signed or not. [Table 1] Below the required 12% The roughly 7% proportion of signatories in the survey, as well as the total of 8% in case the No-Answers are assumed to be signatories also, are statistically below the constitutional minimum requirement of 12% of the national electorate in order for an amendment to be directly proposed by popular initiative. Six of every ten of those approached on a petition said that they were not shown the amendments which they were asked to sign. Less than half of those who signed, and one-fourth of those who did not sign although approached to do so, were shown amendments to read. [Table 2] No leads in all areas Those saying they will vote No in a plebiscite for a new constitution described as what the President wants ( sa bagong Konstitusyon na gusto ng Pangulo ) are 83% in Metro Manila, 64% in the Balance of Luzon, 60% in the Visayas, and 68% in Mindanao. [Table 3] The No vote is 60% in the middle-to-upper ABC classes, 68% in the masa or D class, and 66% in the very poor E class.

2 Page 2 of 5 Even among those who said they signed a petition, the No vote outscores the Yes vote by 48% to 46%, with the balance saying Don t Know/No Answer. Among those who were approached to sign a petition but did not do so, 84% said they would vote No. Distribution of the petition The movement for the petition appears strongest in the Visayas, where 21% of the respondents said that their signatures were solicited. The solicitation rate was 16% in both Mindanao and Metro Manila, and 12% in the Balance of Luzon. Among those solicited, the rate of signing was 51% in Mindanao, 46% in the Visayas, 43% in Metro Manila, and 41% in the Balance of Luzon. Relevance of Presidential performance Public opinion about the performance of the President is relevant, but is not a deciding factor, in the dominance of the No vote in case of a plebiscite on constitutional amendments. The No vote in the SWS survey got 54% from those satisfied, 67% from those neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and 76% from those dissatisfied, with the President. [Table 4] The Yes vote has a majority only among those few (9%) who are Very Satisfied with the President. It is a minority among those who are Somewhat Satisfied with her. Mixed feelings about Comelec As of June 2006, feelings about the Commission on Elections are still mixed, with 34% of those surveyed agreeing, versus 37% disagreeing, that The Comelec can be trusted to honestly count the votes of the people in a plebiscite to ratify a new Constitution. [Table 5] This is statistically unchanged from the March 2006 SWS survey s finding of 30% agreeing and 34% disagreeing with the same statement. Survey background The Social Weather Survey for the Second Quarter of 2006 was done over June 22 to 28, 2006, using face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults divided into random samples of 300 each in Metro Manila, the Balance of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao (sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages and ±6% for area percentages). The area estimates were weighted by National Statistics Office medium-population projections for 2006 to obtain the national estimates.

The Social Weather Surveys are supported by subscribers, who have no proprietary rights over non-commissioned data. # Table 1.
