MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos' trust in China declined while the United States saw a higher trust rating in the second quarter of 2019, according to the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey. The poll conducted from June 22 to 26 found that 51% of adult Filipinos have little trust in China, 21% undecided and 27% with much trust. This garners a net trust rating of a "poor" -24, which is 18 points down from China's -6 in March. The US, on the other hand, enjoyed a 13-point surge in its net trust rating for the second quarter. China was the only country with a negative trust rating among countries tested for public trust.
