SUMMARY-11 In 2017, public satisfaction with top officials
and institutions generally stayed at the new standards set in
2010-16. 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.

The 2018 SWS Survey Review 99
SUMMARY-23 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.
The 2018 SWS Survey Review 100
SUMMARY-34 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%).

SUMMARY-45 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.
The 2018 SWS Survey Review 102
SUMMARY-56 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.

SUMMARY-68 QOL indicators are extremely favorable.
Gainers minus losers hit a record +23 in December (+ since
2015). Poverty (46%, 2017) and hunger (12.3%, 2017) 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 life-satisfaction
and happiness. Completion of Junior High School is a critical
minimum.
The 2018 SWS Survey Review 104
SUMMARY-710 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.
