Aquino ‘barely passing’ in poverty reduction

A new survey shows President Benigno Aquino gets a “barely passing” grade of 75% for his efforts in reducing poverty. In a Pulse Asia survey, only 3% of respondents give the president a 100% rating on reducing poverty, while 24% say Aquino “completely failed.” The rest of the respondents give Aquino a grade of barely passing, good, or very good. The President gets the best score, 80% or “good,” for managing the economy, with 5% giving Aquino a perfect score. The survey asks respondents to grade the President’s performance on 11 national issues. He gets a passing grade in all, but receives the lowest score on poverty reduction.
