Survey!

I was ardently following the surveys during the US elections to see the shift in the tectonic plates of public opinion. Our own elections are coming up in less than 18 months. That’s not a long time.

I am presenting to you 10 questions below that I hope will not just stimulate your interest but will provide this amateur opinion gatherer some idea of how people are thinking.

If you do respond, please put a numerical value (1 to 100) to the question (the higher the number to show agreement with statement). If enumeration is being asked, please state them. If it is a yes, or no question, answer accordingly. If you are not answering all the questions, let me know which questions you are answering by putting the question no., OK?

I know this survey will fall short of a scientific sampling to reflect a clear national consensus but his should be interesting.

OK, here goes:

1) How much of what you see in Philippine life today reflect your own values which you would wish to pass on to the next generation? (State a number from 1 to 100)

2) Name 5 politicians or public figures in the Philippines you can believe in?

3) Are you better off now than you were ten years ago?

4) If you could enumerate the top three things that worry you about the Philippines, what would they be?

5) What are the top three qualities you want in the next President?

6) Are things getting better or worse in the Philippines?

7) Given the chance, would you migrate or choose to stay? Why?

8) Do you think the Philippines is headed in the right direction?

9) Which public persons (official, or personality)do you dislike and would want to see or hear less off?

10) Which sectors of Philippine society (government, Church, military, professionals, entertainment, academe, business, sports, media, politics, etc. are still credible in your opinion?

11) Do you see yourself actively campaigning if a candidate of your choice presents him/herself?
