In view of a sponsor-authorized publication of a commissioned survey module, SWS is

disclosing the results and technical details for the benefit of the public.

A special module sponsored by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) was implemented

within the Fourth Quarter 2019 Social Weather Survey, conducted on December 13-16, 2019.

The survey used face-to-face interviews of 1,200 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide:

300 each in Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, in the Visayas, and Mindanao (sampling error margins of

±3% for national percentages, and ±6% each for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, the Visayas, and

Mindanao).

The area estimates were weighted by the Philippine Statistics Authority medium-population

projections for 2019 to obtain the national estimates.

The survey results were presented by Mr. Vladymir Joseph Licudine, SWS Deputy Director

for Survey Design, Analysis and Training, at the Kapihan sa Manila Bay at Café Adriatico with

Marichu Villanueva press conference on March 4, 2020.

The main findings are as follows:

• 79% of adult Filipinos are satisfied, 15% are undecided, and 5% are dissatisfied with the

performance of the AFP. This gives a net satisfaction rating (% satisfied minus %

dissatisfied) of +74, classified by SWS as “excellent”;

[SWS terminology for Net Satisfaction Ratings: +70 and above, "excellent"; +50 to +69,

"very good"; +30 to +49, "good"; +10 to +29, "moderate", +9 to -9, "neutral"; -10 to -

29, "poor"; -30 to -49, "bad"; -50 to -69, "very bad"; -70 and below, "execrable"]
