The Asian edition of Reader’s Digest listed the Philippines’ Most Trusted Individuals of 2010. In the Trust Poll published in its March 2010 issue, actress and philanthropist Rosa Rosal was first in the list, followed by singer-actress Lea Salonga. Number three was journalist and GMA News vice president Jessica Soho and fourth was philanthropist and Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto. Liberal Party standard-bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III ranked in the top five of the most trusted Filipinos.
President Arroyo was one of the least trusted at number 78. Disgraced plastic surgeon Hayden Kho ended up at number 80. The magazine said this was probably triggered by the scandalous sex videos he allegedly filmed without the consent of at least two of his partners. Others near the bottom of the list were Philippine National Police chief Director General Jesus Verzosa (71), Ilocos Sur Rep. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (73), Imee Marcos (74), television host Willie Revillame (75), former first lady Imelda Marcos (77) and former President Joseph Estrada (79).
The list was presented to respondents in random order, with ratings of 1 to 10, where 1 equated to “don’t trust at all” and 10 being “trust completely.”

Sa mga nagsasabi na di mapagkakatiwalaan ang Reader’s Digest, papano nakatagal ang napaka-informative na magazine na yan kung di mapagkakatiwalaan? Buti nga ang top ten (maliban na lang kay Noynoy Aquino), talagang marami ang humahanga at nagtitiwala sa kanila lalo na sina Lea Salonga, Rosa Rosal, Jesicca Soho, Tony Meloto, Howie Severino, Mel Tiangco, Paeng Nepumuceno, et. al. And one thing more, si Cristeta Comerford (White House executive chef) ay PILIPINO rin! Mag-research dapat kayo ng maigi. At least yung nasa bottom part, numbers 70-80, eh LEAST TRUSTED. As in LEAST! MABABA!

bakit ang mga kapamilya na nagco_comment dito parang hindi naiintindihan anong ginawa ng RD sa sourvey na ito>>?? nagmumukha kayong bobo….
kaya hindi pinagkakatiwalaan ang mga kapamilya dahil siguro mga bobo ang viewers nila!
FYI : Readers Digest na ang gumawa ng survey…!! very RELIABLE…..

hindi nman toh about kapuso or kapamilya for once and formost… trusted nga dba
? sa mga kapuso, go lng ng go, i always admire their documentaries to be honest with… sa mga kapilya, at least some of them made it.. go kapamilya.. kawawa nman pangulo natin… medyo hindi pinagkakatiwalaan! haha:))
March 13th, 2010 at 6:33 am
mga bobo ba nagko comment dito? tagalugin natin yung ayon sa readers digest. naglagay sila ng 80 tao sa listahan (yun nga yung nasa taas ngayon) at pina husgahan sa mga tao 1-10. 1 para sa pinakamababa at 10 para sa pinakamataas. kaya ang resulta ayan na. yung pinakahuli yun yung hindi katiwatiwala.

to those who are wavering their distrusts to readers digest dahil daw incredulous ang survey, pls be keen sa pinagsasabi nyo, im only a high school stude, but i admired RD magazines because of their VERY reliable pieces of information. MAYBE you are just sourgraping bcoz most kapamilya’s are not listed herein…im proud to all Kapusos bcoz time and again, they have proven their inherent worth and dignity…long live kapuso.!…continue to touch hearts and to enrich lives humbly…. u are humble amidst your international competence, that has made u admirable….Muah.hhh,,
