Nacionalista Party president Manny Villar expanded his public satisfaction rating with a record-breaking 74 percent of those polled by the Social Weather Stations in the last two moths of 2008, a press release from his office said.

Villar’s over-all satisfaction rating in September 2008 was at 61 percent. Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile took over the Senate presidency in November 2008 and was already Senate head when the SWS quarterly survey was conducted from November 28 to December 1, 2008.

Villar’s rating was also higher than the 61 percent of Vice President Noli de Castro, 22 percent of Speaker Prospero Nograles and 30 percent of Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno in the same SWS survey of the top officials of the land, the press release said.

He firmed up his satisfaction rating in National Capital Region leaping from 56 percent last September to 78 percent in the November-December survey.

Luzon (72 percent), Visayas (77 percent) and Mindanao (74 percent) continue to give him high satisfaction ratings with an average of 74.3 percent  across the three regions with the biggest expansion recorded in Luzon from 59 percent in September to 72 percent, the press release added.*
