According to the RPMD, such achievements led both individuals to share the top spot in the Davao region based on the nationwide assessment of the Boses ng Bayan initiative’s findings on the performance of public officials.
Duterte welcomed the latest survey results and thanked the general public for their endless support of him and Davao City.
The lawmaker vowed to continue promoting community services and support his district and those in need.

Despite the 1.5 percent decrease, Nelson Dayanghirang of Davao Oriental continues to hold an impressive performance rating of 66.7 percent. Alan Dujali, of Davao del Norte, obtained 65.8 percent from his constituents. Despite the 1.4 percent decrease, his rating remains favorable.
The RPMD said the outcomes are within a margin of error of +/-1 percent. It added that using this parameter ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the official's performance, underscoring their role in catering to constituents, pioneering impactful legislation, and delivering premium services.
Underlining the significance of such assessments, Dr. Paul Martinez of the RPMD said that regular evaluations are crucial to ensuring that district representatives fulfill their roles and responsibilities effectively.
The House of Representatives Public Satisfaction survey for the Davao region was an integral component of the national RPMD's Boses ng Bayan poll conducted between June 25 and July 5 this year.
The RPMD surveyed all the districts in every region nationwide, gathering responses from 10,000 registered voters. The respondents were chosen randomly, with their numbers per district proportionally allocated according to official voting population data.
