OCTA 리서치가 최근 실시한 설문조사에 따르면 필리핀 국민 71%가 서필리핀해에서 실시되는 합동 군사 훈련이 국가에 도움이 된다고 생각하는 것으로 나타났습니다.
필리핀군(AFP)의 의뢰로 3월 19일부터 25일까지 실시된 이번 조사에서 71%가 지지 의사를 밝혔습니다. 14%는 훈련이 해로울 것이라고 답했으며, 7%는 아무런 영향이 없다고 보았습니다. 설문은 1,200명을 대상으로 진행되었으며 오차 범위는 플러스 마이너스 3%포인트입니다. 조사 결과는 필리핀군의 요청에 따라 공개되었습니다. OCTA 리서치는 이번 결과가 국방 정책에 시사하는 바가 크며, 지역 전반에 걸쳐 보다 포괄적인 대국민 소통이 필요하다고 지적했습니다.
