Framing Charter Change


A recent book review in the latest issue of the IMF magazine caught my attention because of the reference to how survey questions are framed and how the results can be radically different.
There was a large discrepancy in the responses to the following two questions:

1) Did you see the broken light? and
2) Did you see a broken light?
Yes you are bright and would have guessed that the number of yes responses was about 50% more than those of the latter.
Now it's time to ask, how are the survey questions on charter change in the Philippines being framed?
