Manila — The Palace on Tuesday welcomed the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey that showed a rise in the people’s net personal optimism.

“Ikinagagalak natin ito. We share our people’s high level of optimism that is based on the shared belief that our country is well on the path of sustainable, long-term and inclusive growth,” Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said during the daily press briefing in Malacañang.

“This belief is in turn anchored on their support for President Aquino’s good governance platform and the reform initiatives under the Philippine Development Plan,” Coloma added.

The SWS survey, conducted last September 26 to 29, showed that 39 percent of 1,200 respondents are expecting the quality of their lives to improve in the next 12 months, compared to 9 percent who said otherwise. This posted a net optimism score of +30, which is considered “very high”.

The SWS classified the net personal optimism score as “very high” for +30 and higher; “high” for +20 to +29; and “fair” for +10 to +19.

Coloma said the survey is important in gauging the people’s response to government programs.

“Nagbibigay sa atin ito ng indikasyon kung ano ang saloobin ng mga mamamayan at kung paano nila tinatanggap ang ibat-ibang mga programa ng isinasagawa ng pamahalaan para sa kanilang kapakanan,” he said. (PCOO/PND)
