Metro Manila residents ligtas sa street crime -Survey

MANILA, Philippines - Mayorya ng residente sa Metro Manila ay naniniwalang ligtas sila sa kriminalidad sa lansangan dahil sa drug war ng gobyerno.

Ito ang ikinagalak kahapon ng Malacañang batay sa resulta ng Pulse Asia survey.

“We are pleased with the latest Pulse Asia survey showing that more than 8 out of 10 residents of Metro Manila now feel safer in the streets as a result of the government’s drive against illegal drugs,” wika pa ni Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella kahapon.

Sinabi ni Usec. Abella, patunay lamang na ang kampanya ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte laban sa illegal drugs ay tanggap ng taumbayan taliwas sa nais palitawin ng kanyang mga kritiko.

Sa survey noong Dis­yembre 2016 ng Pulse Asia, lumitaw na 82 percent ng residente ng Metro Manila ay naniniwalang ligtas sila dahil sa drug war.

Ang sagot ng mga respondents sa survey ay “Compared to last year, I feel that it is less dangerous now in our place because of the campaign against illegal drugs.”

“This favorable public sentiment gives us strong impetus to surge ahead in our anti-drug campaign and hope that we continually get the cooperation of the community, and even support of the clergy, especially in the implementation of a rehabilitation program for Tokhang surrenderers,” paliwanag pa ni Abella.
