OCTA RESEARCH ABRIL 2-6, BBM 57%; NAGMINTINAR SA DAKONG LABAW BATOK SA MGA KAATBANG

SA menos tulo nalang ka semana sa dili pa ang Mayo 9 nga eleksyon, ang presidential frontrunner nga si Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos padayong naghari sa tanan niyang mga kaatbang sa matag nationwide scientific surveys nga gihimo sa tanang respetado nga polling firms sa nasud.

Base sa April 2-6 OCTA Research Tugon ng Masa survey nga gipagawas niadtong Domingo, si Marcos nakakuha og 57 porsyento nga preference votes gikan sa 1, 200 ka respondents.

Nisaka pa si Marcos og duha ka porsyento nga puntos kumpara sa iyang 55 porsyento nga gusto sa mga botante niadtong Pebrero 2022.

Ang OCTA Research wala magpagawas sa ilang Marso nga survey nga nag-ingon nga kini pribado nga kamandoan sa usa ka pribadong kompanya.

Si Leni Robredo naulahi gihapon og 22 porsyento, Isko Moreno nga 9 porsyento, Manny Pacquiao, 7 porsyento; ug Ping Lacson, 4 porsyento.

Ang Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP standard-bearer) nagpabilin usab sa iyang pagpanguna sa National Capital Region (NCR) nga adunay 35 porsyento, 66 porsyento sa Balance Luzon, 56 porsyento sa Visayas ug 50 porsyento sa Mindanao.

Si Marcos mao sab ang top choice sa Class ABC nga adunay 52 porsyento; 59 porsyento sa Class D, ug 44 porsyento sa Class E.

Sa grupo sa edad, si Marcos nakakuha sa labing taas nga marka gikan sa 18-24 anyos nga adunay 77 porsyento; 25-34 anyos nga adunay 62 porsyento; 35-44 anyos, 46 porsyento; 45-54 anyos, 50 porsyento; 55-64 anyos, 54 porsyento; 65-74 anyos, 53 porsyento; ug 75 ug pataas, 36 porsyento.

Sa nakagawas nga survey niadtong Marso sa Social Wether Station (SWS), nakita sab nga runaway winner si Marcos human nisaka og otso porsyento ang iyang voter preference gikan sa miaging survey.

Naka-iskor siya og 58 porsyento nga gusto sa mga botante kaniadtong Marso 2022 nga survey, nga misaka pag-ayo sa walo ka porsyento kung itandi sa iyang 50 porsyento nga rating sa survey kaniadtong Enero.

Sama sa naandan, ang labing layo nga nagsunod sa ikaduha nga pwesto mao si Leni Robredo nga adunay 18 porsyento nga gusto sa mga botante kaniadtong Marso o mikunhod sa usa ka porsyento kung itandi sa iyang 19 porsyento nga gusto sa botante kaniadtong Enero.

Namatikdan usab nga padayong nisaka ang gidaghanon ni Marcos samtang nagkaduol ang piniliay.

Sa Oktubre 2021 nga SWS survey, si Marcos nakakuha og 47 porsyento, samtang niadtong Disyembre 2021 misaka ngadto sa 51 porsyento.

Sa miaging Enero, nakakuha siya og 50 porsyento sa wala pa nakapuntos og 58 porsyento karong Marso.

Samtang, si Robredo nagpabilin nga ubos sa 20 porsyento sa SWS survey sukad niadtong Oktubre 2021.

Naka-iskor siya og 18 porsyento niadtong Oktubre 2021, 14 porsyento niadtong Disyembre, ug 19 porsyento niadtong Enero unya mibalik sa 18 porsyento karong Marso.

Sa sayo pa, ang survey sa Pulse Asia mideklarar nga si Marcos mahimong labing unang “majority president” sa nasud ubos sa multi-party setup, human namentinar ang iyang dakong labaw batok sa iyang kaatbang.

Base sa resulta sa pre-election polls sa Pulse Asia nga gipagawas niadtong Marso, nagpabiling dakong lider si Marcos sa presidential derby, nga nakakuha og 56% nga voter preference.

Layo nga nagsunod sa ikaduha nga pwesto mao si Leni Robredo nga adunay 24% samtang si Isko Damagoso nakakuha og 8%.

Sa laing bahin, si Manny Pacquiao nahimutang sa ikaupat nga adunay 6%, samtang si Panfilo Lacson nakakuha og 2%.

Sa una nga pakighinabi sa SMNI, si Ana Tabunda, Research Director sa Pulse Asia, namahayag nga si Marcos nagpadayon sa pagdominar nga halos dili mabuntog nga labaw ug lisud kaayo alang kang Robredo ang pag-apas.

“Medyo lisod siya (si Robredo makaapas), kay nwebe puntos ang ulahi nga pagtaas ni Leni. Aron makaapas, nanginahanglan siya og 16 puntos unya si BBM kinahanglang pakunhuran og 16 puntos sa umaabot nga adlaw sa dili pa ang piniliay. Medyo lisod siya (mahitabo),” pasabot niini.

Mahimong mausab, ang pangutana kon makaapas pa ba. Dili man hinuon imposible pero medyo lisod kay 32 puntos ang gintang,” paghatag niini og gibug-aton. (PR)

90% of governors in the country support BBM

AT least 90 percent or 73 of the 81 governors in the country are now fully supporting the candidacy of presidential frontrunner Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’  Marcos Jr. just as they vowed to give him a landslide victory in the fast-approaching May 9 national polls.

This developed as a total of 16 governors trooped to the BBM headquarters in Mandaluyong on Sunday night of April 10 to reiterate their support for his presidential bid.

It was the second round of meeting between Marcos and the local chief executives for the consolidation of command votes in their respective provinces.

“Yung sinabi ni Chavit (Singson) na almost 90 percent ng governors are already for Bongbong. Totoo yun. Right now we have a new President,” said Quezon Gov. Danilo Suarez.

He was referring to the statement of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur Mayor and League of Municipalities of the Philippines President Luis Chavit Singson who said that 90 percent of the governors are now fully supporting the BBM-Sara UniTeam.

“I don’t see any unprecedented event that can hamper the victory of Bongbong,” Suarez added.

Singson also appealed to the governors to work doubly hard to make sure that Marcos would be the first “majority president” since the multi-party system was implemented in the country.

“Doble kayod pa rin tayo kahit sigurado na ang panalo natin. Kailangan ipakita natin na siya ang kauna-unahang majority president,” Singson appealed.

The governors said that Singson’s appeal is very possible based on the results of all the respectable surveys where Marcos garnered more than 50 percent of the voters’ preference.

“Yung appeal ni Chavit na gawin namin majority president, well that would be our job. It’s easy to sell BBM, eh maayos na eh” Suarez added.

For his part, Isabela Gov. Rodito Albano said that there is no need for UniTeam to campaign in their province.

“Maski hindi ko siya ikampanya sigurado siya sa amin. Mukhang mas mataas pa ang boto namin kay BBM keysa sa Ilocos,” Albano boasted.

Batangas Gov. Hermilando Mandanas echoed the governors sentiments saying he will push for the protection of Marcos’ votes in his province.

“Syempre panalo tayo dun but kailangang i-push pa rin. Kailangan bantayan. We have to show na that BBM is the solution. It’s really BBM na talagang nagpu-push para sa unity. At yan ang hinahanap nating lahat,” Mandanas said.

Bohol Gov. Arthur Yap, on the other hand, also assured that majority of Boholanos will vote for Marcos.

“Sa Bohol may bagong survey kami kalalabas lang last Friday nasa 54 percent si BBM. Siyempre ta-trabahuhin pa natin yan pero wala na akong nakikitang problema,” Yap said.

Also present were Governors Dax Cua of Quirino; Susan Yap of Tarlac; Jose Riano of Romblon; Florencio Miraflores of Aklan,; Philip Tan of Misamis Occidental; Eduardo Gadiano Mindoro Occidental; Alexander Pimentel of Surigao del Sur; Bonifacio Lacwasan, of Mountain Province; Suharto Mangudadatu of Sultan Kudarat; and former Gov Jun Ynares III of Rizal

Last week, 10 governors from different provinces have also expressed their full support for Marcos.

Apart from concerns and priority programs in their respective provinces, Marcos said the informal but intimate meeting with the local chief executives, that coincided with the second Comelec-sponsored presidential debate, also tackled vote protection for the upcoming May 9 elections.

“Vote protection, yun ang aming napagusapan para makatiyak tayo na maganda ang takbo ng halalan. Mabilang lahat ng boto at hindi magka-problema,” Marcos said.

Present during the previous meeting were Governors Imelda Dimaporo, of Lanao del Norte; Francisco Emmanuel Ortega III, of La Union; Nancy Catamco, of Cotabato; Esteban Evan Contreras, of Capiz; Damian Mercado, of Southern Leyte; Ferdinand Tubban of Kalinga; Joy Bernos of Abra; Jerry Dalipog of Ifugao; and Camiguin gubernatorial bet Rep. Xavier Jesus Romualdo. (PR)

Bongbong’s 56% overshadows Leni’s 23% in latest pre-election survey

Presidential frontrunner Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos, Jr. further reinforced his dominance over his rivals in the upcoming 2022 polls by posting a 56% voter preference in the latest pre-election survey by PUBLiCUS Asia.

With barely a month before the May 2022 national elections, political observers noted that the UniTeam presidential bet is on the cusp of being the first majority president to be elected in a multi-party political system.

Marcos’ voter preference in the PAHAYAG 2022 First Quarter Survey shows a massive 33 percentage points lead over his closest contender for the presidency.

The independent and non-commissioned survey was conducted by one of the most reputable polling firms in the country, PUBLiCUS Asia, from March 30, 2022 to April 6, 2022, utilizing 1,500 respondents.

Still trailing behind Marcos by a wide margin is Leni Robredo with 23% voter preference, followed by Isko Moreno with 9%, Sen. Panfilo Lacson with 5%, and Sen. Manny Pacquiao with 2%.

The PAHAYAG survey results also indicate that support for Marcos’ candidacy continues to firm up among the Filipino electorate despite the slew of negative propaganda directed at him.

Marcos also posted overwhelming numbers in major geographical locations; 45% in the National Capital Region (NCR), 57% in North Central Luzon (NCL), 46% in South Luzon (SL), and 56% in the Visayas, and 71% in Mindanao.

The survey results also noted Marcos’ staggering lead in voter preference over Robredo in North Central Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao remains well above 30%, attesting to her failure to sway voters despite her camp’s claim of a ‘groundswell’ of support for her candidacy.

Marcos’s genuine message of unity also resonates with Filipino voters from the D and E economic classes, such that he received 57% and 60% voter preference, respectively.

When asked about the probability of Marcos’ rivals catching up with him, PUBLiCUS Asia chief data scientist David Yap, Jr., said that he ran 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations to forecast the probable outcome.

“I ran 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations based on existing survey data from PUBLiCUS, Pulse Asia, Laylo, and OCTA… These 10,000 simulations strongly suggest that Bongbong Marcos is expected to win in the upcoming elections,” Yap said.

According to a definition from IBM, a Monte Carlo Simulation, also known as multiple probability simulation, is a mathematical technique used to estimate the possible outcomes of an uncertain event.

PUBLiCUS Asia’s survey results tally with Pulse Asia’s recently published pre-election survey, showing that Marcos’ numbers are steady, making catching up with him very difficult.

“Theoretically, kaya pero mahirap. But realistically mahirap. Hindi sinabing imposible,” Pulse Asia Research Director Ana Maria Tabunda said.

It’s a thankless job but no regrets for PRRD — Bong Go

As he reassures that the President remains fit and focused on serving the Filipinos until the last day of his term



Senator Christopher “Bong” Go guaranteed that although the burden of the presidency has taken a toll on President Rodrigo Duterte’s health, the latter is in good condition and will continue serving the Filipino people until the last day of his term.

In an ambush interview after the opening of the Center for Thoracic and Critical Care Medicine at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center (CSMC) in San Juan City on Thursday, April 7, Senator Go, being the President’s aide for more than 20 years, cited how President Duterte has been working non-stop and has been only focused on serving the Filipinos even until the last days of his term.

Go also shared how the duties of the head of state really drained President Duterte both physically and mentally. The senator then underscored that it is only normal for the President to feel tired after years of being a public servant.

“During his presidency, talagang piniga siya. Ibig sabihin, mentally, physically and health wise, talagang piniga,” Go emphasized.

“Kapag isa kang Pangulo, talagang pipigain ka talaga. It’s a thankless job pero no regret po si Pangulo dahil ito na ang huling chapter ng kanyang buhay, ibinuhos na nya sa Pilipino. So kahit na medyo… humihina na, at his age, 77 years old… tuloy pa rin ang kanyang pagseserbisyo,” he expressed.

President Duterte was previously seen visiting Cardinal Santos Medical Center, which had raised concerns about his health. Go then mentioned that the President only prioritizes his health to ensure that he will be able to serve the country well.

He likewise reassured Filipinos that there is nothing to worry about with PRRD’s health as the doctors of CSMC have been looking after the latter to ensure that he is physically fit and well to continue carrying out the heavy responsibilities of his office.

“Yung nabalitaan n’yong pumunta dito, normal po na pupunta dito ang Pangulo because 77 years old (na siya). Kailangan na pong magpacheck up,” said Go.

“Kaya inaalagaan po ng Cardinal Santos ang ating Pangulo. Lahat ng mga doktor natin dito, especially Dra. Agnes (del Rosario) po, inalagaan talaga nila si Pangulo and with that, nakapagpatuloy po ang ating Pangulo sa kanyang tungkulin bilang Presidente,” he expressed.

“Physically (fit) to finish his term? Oo, kaya pa and beyond. Oo, in good condition kaya nga sabi ko papasalamat tayo sa Cardinal Santos at kay doktora din po for taking care of his (PRRD’s) health,” Go added.

When asked to elaborate regarding the President’s health status, Go cited that he is no medical expert, advising that it is best to get statements from the President’s doctors instead.

Meanwhile, the senator maintained that he does not know who among the presidential candidates President Duterte will endorse, if any.

“I cannot speak on behalf of the President. Nasa kanya na po ‘yan. Antayin na lang natin kung anong sasabihin niya sa mga susunod na araw. Ako naman po as PDP-Laban, pumirma na po ako kung sino pong sinusuportahan ng aming partido. Kung kay Presidente naman — sa kanyang personal choice — hindi ko po masasagot kung sino po ang kanyang sinabi na ‘mamanukin’,” he reiterated.
