This claim is false. Duterte’s highest Pulse Asia approval rating is 91%.
Pulse Asia reported this rating for the President in the “Ulat Ng Bayan” survey conducted in September 2020 and published on October 5, 2020. The survey had a ±2.8% margin of error. It was based on a sample of 1,200 representative adults 18 years old and above.
In the survey, 91% of respondents expressed approval for the President’s performance, 5% of respondents were undecided, and 5% of respondents expressed disapproval. The president’s approval rating prior to this survey was 87% in December 2019.

Pulse Asia has released only one survey measuring the performance ratings of top Philippine government officials in 2020. This is due to constraints imposed by the pandemic. The organization has not yet released data for 2021. – Therese Litonjua/Rappler.com
