#ThewRap: Things you need to know, July 13, 2018
Here are the stories you shouldn't miss this Friday

Good day, Rappler readers!

A survey done by Pulse Asia June 15-21 showed President Rodrigo Duterte recording his highest approval rating yet, before his much-criticized “God is stupid” remark. 

Pulse Asia’s June 2018 Ulat ng Bayan national survey, released on Friday, July 13, showed Duterte with an approval rating of 88% – 2 percentage points higher than his previous highest-ever approval rating of 86% in September 2016, when he was just 3 months into his presidency. 

It was the Social Weather Stations (SWS) that captured public sentiments after his remark on God and the public backlash that followed. It was conducted from June 27-30, but the results were released ahead of Pulse Asia’s.  

SWS’ second quarter poll on public satisfaction with Duterte showed his net satisfaction rating falling to a new low of +45.
