Marawi City may have been freed from the clutches of the Maute terror group but many Filipinos Muslims were unimpressed by the months-long military operation in the Islamic City, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey revealed on Wednesday. The third quarter poll conducted from September 23 to 27, 2017, showed that 29 percent of Filipinos Muslims were satisfied with the military action, while 26 percent were not satisfied for a net satisfaction rating of three percent. On the national scale, less than half of Filipinos were satisfied with the government operations against the Maute group (66 percent satisfied against 18 percent dissatisfied.) The 48 percent nationwide rating was lower by two percentage points compared with June’s 50 percent. The slight drop was due to the 54 percent net satisfaction rating of those polled in Metro Manila, 14 percentage points lower than the 68 percent score in June.
