PUBLiCUS Asia, Inc., the “first and only SEC-registered lobbying and campaigns firm in the Philippines catering political, corporate, or advocacy projects” has released a survey showing that most people think Pres. Rodrigo Duterte is the top official who has the most love, care, and concern for the country.
Duterte was followed by Vice President Leni Robredo, Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta, Senate President Tito Sotto, and Speaker of the House Alan Peter Cayetano respectively.

Over 60% of the respondents also believe that Duterte is the most ‘decisive.’

Duterte previously dared health workers to stage a revolution if they think it would solve the problems brought about by the pandemic.
His advised people to just wait for a vaccine, but the WHO discourages this kind of strategy.
Another controversial advice of his was to use kerosene as a disinfectant, which has no scientific basis whatsoever.
One netizen asks how PUBLiCUS Asia, Inc came up with the findings.
How do you measure love, concern, and care? In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights? In cups of coffee? In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife…? https://t.co/AGWqSuweFA

They also question the credibility of the survey since the head of the lobbying firm is Malou Tiquia, a known diehard Duterte supporter (DDS).

Publicus Asia? The company headed by DDS political strategist and professional asslicker Malou Tiquia? The sitting President of the Universidad de Manila whom their entire studentry hates? https://t.co/vlOHmygoAz

Many think the survey is a joke.

Some say they’ve never heard or been notified about the survey, so the findings might actually be made up.
Tumanda na ako sa kakaikot sa lahat ng barangay ng town nmin, wala pa akong nabalitaang natanong tungkol sa mga survey survey na yan. Take note ha, 49 barangays. https://t.co/j5HJaLLc1b

As a lobbying firm, PUBLiCUS Asia, Inc promotes the propaganda of clients.
Publicus Asia isn’t even a proper statistics-gathering firm. It’s a lobbying firm. Which means two things: (1) it gets paid by a client to lobby/advocate for him and (2) whatever it releases is for the benefit of its client. pic.twitter.com/EVUaXVAIa1

You do realize you are spewing propaganda, right? The source material is a lobbying firm clearly on the payroll of the administration. I’m holding you to a higher standard of source material as credible news organizations should abide by journalism ethics.
