Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Amid international criticism on the Philippines' bloody drug war, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey showed eight in 10 Filipinos are "satisfied" with President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug campaign.

Of 1,200 adults interviewed for the nationwide survey, 84 percent said they are satisfied with the government's crackdown on illegal drugs. Only eight percent said they are dissatisfied, while the rest are undecided.

The results yielded an "excellent" net satisfaction rating of +76. SWS classifies ratings over +70 percent as "excellent."

However, 71 percent of the respondents said it is "very important" for drug suspects to be caught alive.
