Survey after survey they are being repudiated. They appear to be ensconced if not entangled in their own web of lies that they cannot unshackle themselves from it,&quot; Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a statement on Thursday.The opposition has been &quot;deaf to the voice of a great majority of our people and blind to the sweeping changes in the political and social landscape&quot; effected by Duterte, he said.Panelo said these critics &quot;should join the majority supporting administration&#x27;s programs&quot; instead of pursuing a &quot;hate campaign&quot; against President.&quot;President Duterte is racing against time to fulfill his campaign promise of slaying the dragon of illegal drugs, criminality, corruption and rebellion, as well as providing the people with a comfortable life under a reign of peace during his term,&quot; he said.&quot;No negative force will detract him from his goal of liberating the people from the causes that enslave them and stunt the growth of the country.&quot;That people across geographical areas tally high ratings means that they &quot;see his sincerity in realizing his sacred vow to the electorate and witness the tangible results of his people-centered decisions and decisive actions that foster genuine and positive change.&quot;&quot;Destiny has placed this President at the helm of this troubled land, so it is his destiny to remove it from its distress and lead it to a state of peace and progress,&quot; said Panelo.

A majority of Filipinos remained satisfied with Duterte's performance as chief executive, results of a Social Weather Stations survey released Wednesday showed.
