Senator Bam Aquino congratulated Vice President Leni Robredo for the rise in her satisfaction rating, saying her consistent hard work to uplift underprivileged communities is paying off.

Based on the survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) from September 23 to 27 on 1,500 respondents, Vice President Robredo’s net satisfaction rating for the third quarter of 2017 rose from +36 to “good” +41.

 “Hinding-hindi mawawala ang malasakit ni VP Leni sa mga Pilipinong nasa laylayan at mukhang dama pa rin ito ng taumbayan,” said Sen. Bam, the campaign manager of VP Leni during the 2016 elections.

“The rise in VP Leni’s satisfaction rating is the fruit of her hard work to uplift underprivileged communities. Nakikita ng taumbayan na tuluy-tuloy pa rin ang trabaho ng ating bise presidente sa kabila ng napakaraming hamon,” added Sen. Bam.

 The senator noted that the Senate even boosted Robredo’s efforts to help poor communities by adding P20 million to the budget of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) for her Angat Buhay program, through the initiative of Majority Floor Leader Tito Sotto.

 Sen. Bam expects VP Leni to use the survey as inspiration as she further strengthens her plans, programs and advocacies for the poor. ”Tuloy lang ang trabaho para sa bayan. Tuloy ang laban,” added Sen. Bam.
