The high expectations that PRRD would fulfill his promises were lessened by September. 2 Report Card improvements: fighting terrorism, helping the poor and the hungry, reconciling with rebel groups, and fighting crime and graft & corruption. 98 49
SUMMARY-2 3 While calling the war on illegal drugs successful, the people see the police as not as interested as they in capturing suspects alive; as not telling the truth about suspects fighting back ; as killing suspects from the poor rather than the rich; as mistakenly arresting many non-drug-pushers; and as undeserving of cash rewards. The most popular argument against re-imposing the death penalty is to give the offenders the opportunity to reform themselves. 99 SUMMARY-3 4 The rate of victimization of the people by common crimes like snatching, burglary, carnapping and physical violence dropped slightly, in line with long-term trends. Fears of home break-in (59%) and of the streets being dangerous to walk at night (48%), which had been rising for several years, receded partially. The presence of many drug addicts in the neighborhood fell substantially, but was still quite high (42%). 100 50
SUMMARY-4 5 The Maute/Abu Sayaff uprising in Marawi City was the most followed news of the year. Opinions in September on extending martial law (ML) in Mindanao to 12/31/17 were 54-28 in favor; but 54% said the AFP could suppress the rebels even without ML. Satisfaction with the government s suppressive actions was 66-18 in Ph but only 29-26 among Muslims. The median expectation of how long it will take for the damaged areas to recover is 5-6 years. 101 SUMMARY-5 6 Opinions on the idea of a Revolutionary Government are 31-39, or Net -8 contra. Only Mindanao is pro (by +16). Those satisfied with PRRD are +2 pro; those neutral about him are -22 contra, and those dissatisfied with him are -43 contra. 7 Filipino trust in foreign countries has not pivoted: trust is +60 for the US, vs +6 for Russia and -13 for China. Trust in the UN, EU and Amnesty are all +. Approval of the US leadership fell, as in Asian neighbors. 102 51
SUMMARY-6 8 QOL indicators are extremely favorable. Gainers minus losers hit a record +23 in December (+ since 2015). Poverty (46%, ) and hunger (12.3%, ) are roughly stable. Joblessness is down. 9 Subjective well-being is consistently lower among Muslims and among the poor. Mindanao is the leading area in lifesatisfaction and happiness. Completion of Junior High School is a critical minimum. 103 SUMMARY-7 10 Satisfaction with how democracy works is very high -- fully recovered from the depths of 2000-09. Strong preference of democracy over authoritarianism continues, as does the feeling of freedom to speak openly, even against the administration. 104 52
