Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - The countdown on the decline of the Aquino administration began three days before the New Year. On that day, the newspapers published the December 8 to 11 Social Weather Stations survey showing Philippine President Benigno Aquino III's net satisfaction rating plunging by 12 points from his +67 rating in August, just five months ago.

SWS released the survey results in the face of claims by the administration that it had posted impressive economic gains during the past year, on the basis of which it made optimistic forecasts on growth in 2013.

The plummeting ratings showed that public opinion was not disposed to give the administration a thunderous applause for its claims of economic success. According to the SWS survey, first published by BusinessWorld, the president's net satisfaction rating fell from plus 67 per cent in August to plus 55 in December. The August rating of plus 67 represented a rebound from the plus 42 the president obtained in May.
