SUMMARY AND
HIGHLIGHTS
 92% of the youth is against
the “ all-out war” policy
53% thinks the P1 billion anti-insurgency
campaign fund should be directed to education sector
78% of the youth is not in
favor of Charter Change
56% of the youth supports the
impeachment case against Pres. Arroyo
64% of the youth thinks that there’s
no truth to the SONA of Pres. Arroyo
 Majority of the youth surveyed do not favor the
intensified anti-insurgency drive (92%), with 53%
believing the P1 billion allocation should instead be
directed to education. Also, a big number disapprove of
the administration-led Charter Change (78%), while 56%
support the second impeachment complaint against
Arroyo. Thus, these factors account for the youth’s
disbelief of the truth in the upcoming SONA.
