why is age significant? it's for the basic reason that it would be difficult for a 9 year old (during Marcos' time) to remember or better yet understand what's going on during that era. common sense tells me that if one of the option in a given survey is kinda sketchy because (1) someone was barely a kid or worse, (2) he or she might not have been born yet to witness the corruption in the government during that time.
by that simple reasoning, Pulse Asia's survey on this particular topic is suspect.
if 100% of those surveyed were 40 something (at least 19 years old during 1986) then the result would be more scientific and more reliable because ALL were ADULTS when they experienced Marcos, Cory, Ramos and PGMA's presidency.
if you can show me PROOF that Pulse Asia's respondents were all 40 something then I will accept the truth.
