MANILA, Philippines — According to the latest Pulse Asia Survey, former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is the most popular presidential and vice-presidential candidates in the forthcoming May 9 elections.

According to Pulse Asia Research Inc.’s “Ulat ng Bayan” nationwide survey, conducted from March 17 to 21, 56 percent of qualified Filipino voters would elect Marcos as president if elections were held within the survey period.

“Nearly large majorities across geographic areas and socio-economic levels back the ex-presidential lawmaker’s run (48 percent to 64 percent and 52 percent to 56 percent, respectively),” according to Pulse Asia.

Marcos’ voter support, on the other hand, fell by 4%, while closest rival Vice President Leni Robredo received 24% of the vote, up from 9% in February.

“The other presidential candidates receive a maximum of 8% of the vote. Furthermore, 1% of probable voters are still undecided about who to vote for as president, another 1% are undecided about who to vote for, and 0.5 percent refuse to name their preferred presidential candidate “Pulse Asia reports on this.

“If their first pick for president does not run for president for any reason,” it continued, “23 percent of probable voters will vote for Manila Mayor Francisco Domagoso.”

Senator Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao was third with 8%, followed by Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson with 2%, Faal Mangondato with 1%, former Palace spokesperson Ernesto “Ernie” Abella with 0.1 percent, Jose Montemayor Jr. with 0.05 percent, Leodegario “Leody” De Guzman with 0.02 percent, and former Defense chief Norberto Gonzales with 0%.

Meanwhile, Duterte maintained his large advantage, with 56 percent of the vote, while the presidential daughter’s voter choice climbed by 3% from February’s poll.

According to Pulse Asia, Duterte is also the preferred vice-presidential candidate of large pluralities to overwhelming majorities across geographic areas and socio-economic classes, with 44 percent to 83 percent and 55 percent to 63 percent, respectively, across geographic areas and socio-economic classes.

Senate President Vicente Sotto III is in second place with 20% of the vote, followed by Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan (15%), Dr. Willie Ong (5%), Buhay Party-list Rep. Jose “Lito” Atienza Jr. (1%), Manny Lopez (0.3%), former Akbayan Party-list representative Walden Bello (0.1%), Carlos Serapio (0.01%), and Rizalito David (0.01%).

Broadcaster Raffy Tulfo and former senator Loren Legarda continued to lead the senate contest, with 65.6 and 58.3 percent voter preferences, respectively, according to the same poll.

With 56.4 percent, former House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano is third, followed by former senator Chiz Escudero (54.4 percent), former Public Works Secretary Mark Villar (52.4 percent), and Senator Sherwin Gatchalian (50.3 percent), and senator Migz Zubiri (50.1 percent).

Joel Villanueva (43.9%), actor Robin Padilla (42.5%), former Vice President Jojo Binay (42.5%), Jinggoy Estrada (36.5%), and JV Ejercito (36.5%) round out the top 12. (35.9 percent).

Despite the “overwhelming support of the people,” the Marcos camp claims there is no cause to be complacent.

“Atty. Vic Rodriguez, Marcos’ spokeswoman, stated in a statement that “despite 32 days to the national and local elections, we implore our followers, volunteers, and campaigns to resist complacency and remain focused on achieving our common aim of 70% presidential preference mark.”

“Until the 70 percent preference survey polling position is obtained,” Rodriguez stated, Marcos would not rest.

“We welcome the people’s tremendous support, as the Pulse Asia survey findings plainly demonstrate,” he stated, “but the task to make history will stay lit until election day, and even beyond.”

“We will not rest until we achieve the 70% preferred polling position until every vote is counted, and the Filipino people’s ambitions become a reality,” he continued.
