Noynoy Aquino: The most trusted politician today on Readers Digest survey

Yes, presidential candidate Noynoy Aquino is the most trusted politician today. This was according to the latest survey on Readers Digest March 2010 edition.

Actually, this news as reported by GMA7 whose four top journalists landed also on the top. They are Jessica Soho (3rd), Howie Severino (6th), Mel Tiangco (9th), and Mike Enriquez (13th).

Readers Digest said the list of 80 people was presented in random order to the respondents who were asked to rate the people on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 means that they don't trust at all while 10 means they trust completely the person.

"We then calculated an average score for each and ranked them in order of perceived trustworthiness," Readers Digest said.

The survey was conducted in October 2009 by independent market research company The Digital Edge on behalf of Readers' Digest.

Meanwhile, actress and philanthropist Rosa Rosal was named the most trusted Filipino, while world-renowned singer and actress Lea Salonga ranked second.

Philanthropist Tony Meloto, founder of Gawad Kalinga, ranked fourth on the list while Noynoy Aquino ranked fifth.

"With the passing of his mother last year, there is a sense of sentimentality attached to Aquino," Etchells wrote.

Interestingly, today's number one boxer Manny Pacquiao landed on the 36th spot. If you're interested to know the spot of President Gloria Arroyo, she is on the 78th who is slightly lower than former first lady Imelda Marcos, who is on the 74th spot.

But back to Noynoy Aquino, I think this will help him convince the Filipinos more that he is really trustworthy. But in my opinion, I think he should also prove that he can lead the country in terms of economy, peace and order, and graft and corruption. In terms of corruption, he will have to do a lot of work although being trustworthy can play a vital role to eliminate it.

Again, I am not here to campaign or destroy any candidate. I just want to share some information hoping that all of us know how to vote wisely.
