13 August 2012 – In the second year of President Benigno Aquino III’s administration, 36 out of 53 government agencies and offices led by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Department of Finance, Department of Tourism, Department of Budget and Management, and Securities and Exchange Commission received positive net satisfaction scores from senior business executives surveyed by the Makati Business Club (MBC) from 19 June to 23 July 2012. In comparison, only 25 out of 45 government agencies, offices, and services got positive net performance ratings in MBC’s Second Semester Executive Outlook Survey (EOS) in 2011.
On the other hand, the government offices and services that received the lowest net satisfaction scores in the Second Semester 2012 EOS are the appeals and lower court system, traffic management, the Supreme Court, garbage collection, and the Philippine National Police.
