Statement of Sen. Benigno Aquino III on the Pulse Asia survey results in the comments section.
With about four months to go before the May 10, 2010 elections, presidential candidates Senator Benigno “Noynoy” C. Aquino (Liberal Party) and Senator Manuel “Manny” B. Villar (Nacionalista Party) are tied for the presidency, with Senator Aquino registering 37% of voter preferences and Senator Villar 35%, the latest Pulse Asia survey showed.
The nationwide survey conducted Jan. 22 to 26, among 1,800 respondents has a margin of error of +/-2%.
The only other presidential candidate with a double-digit preference is former President Joseph Estrada (Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino) at 12%.
The other candidates register voter preferences of at most 5%. Less than one in ten Filipinos (6%) does not have a preferred presidential candidate at this time.
Across areas, Senator Aquino takes the lead in the National Capital Region, with 38% support against Senator Villar’s 24%. The two front-runners register virtually the same preference in Balance Luzon (Aquino, 37%; Villar, 36%); Visayas (Aquino, 41%; Villar, 38%); and, Mindanao (Villar, 36%; Aquino, 33%).
Across socio-demographic groups and taking the error margins for the subgroups into account, Senator Aquino leads among Class D (40%) and among the elderly aged 65 years and over (42%). On the other hand, Senator Villar enjoys the lead in the 25-34 age group (42%). Voter preferences for the two leading candidates are essentially the same across the other socioeconomic classes and age groups.
Compared to the December 2009 survey, support for Senator Villar improves by 12 percentage points, while preference for Senator Aquino and former President Estrada decline by 8 and 7 percentage points, respectively. Voter preferences for the other presidential candidates, on the other hand, do not register marked changes between the two survey periods.
Voters are as likely to say, based on a predetermined set of reasons to choose from, that they opted for a candidate because he/she is not corrupt or has a clean record (24%) as, he/she cares for the poor (24%). Other reasons cited for preferring a candidate pertain to the ability to do something (16%), helping others (11%), being a good person (9%) and experience in governance (6%)
Senator Roxas leads the vice-presidential race
Nearly half of the voters (47%) would vote for Senator Manuel “Mar” A. Roxas (Liberal Party) if the May 2010 elections were held at the time of the survey, giving him a sizeable lead over Senator Loren Legarda (Nacionalista Party, at 28%) in second place and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay (PDP Laban, at 13%) in third place. The other vice-presidential candidates garner at most 2% voter preference. Meanwhile, about one in ten voters (7%) did not have a favored vice-presidential candidate at the time of the survey.
Across geographical areas, Senator Roxas leads the race in Luzon, including NCR, and the Visayas. However, voter preferences for the two leading contenders, Senators Roxas and Legarda, are essentially tied across the Mindanao areas surveyed. As for the socio-demographic groupings, Senator Roxas enjoys sizeable leads among the upper socio-economic classes ABC (54%) and D (49%) and across the various age groups. Preferences for Senators Roxas and Legarda are essentially tied among Class E voters, however.
Among the vice-presidential candidates, only Senator Roxas and Senator Legarda register significant movements in voter preference between Pulse’s December 2009 and January 2010 surveys – an increase of 8 percentage points in the case of Senator Roxas and a decline 9 percentage points in the case of Senator Legarda.
Hehehehe. . .nagkagulo na. . .paiba-iba na results ng survey ng Pulse Asia at SWS. . . .
This will show us all..what Money can do! Hindi bale gumastos si Money Villar sa ngayon..for him it is simply an investment..mababawi rin niya ang kanyang puhanan..many times over…!kung ngayon nga lang ipinakita na niya ang kanyang tunay na pagkatao..ano pa kaya pag siya ay pangulo. …may himala kaya? may pagbabago kaya? gaganda kaya ang ating bukas? it all remains to be seen..May the best man wins..
Kainis, halata namang bayad. Desperado na talaga manalo si Money Villar.
Wala bang ibang paraan para di maimpluwensiyahan o mabayaran ng mga kandidato ang SWS o Pulse? Puro ‘masahe’ kasi ang nangyayari.
mismo mga kasama sa senado walang tiwala kay villar, at tinawag na siyang duwag, pero wala ring delikadeza si villar dahil nagpupumilit pa ring tumakbo, para mabawi ang gastos niya at ipagpatuloy ang pangnanakaw sa pera ng taong bayan, GISING NA PINOY, ganyang klaseng tao ba ang pwedeng kumandidatong presidente ?
i simply think Villar will do everything to sway the votes towards him. wala naman kasing ibang napapag-usapan kundi si Noynoy at si Gibo. so one way of probably getting attention and to make it look that he is the underdog, kailangan palitawin na tumataas siya sa surveys. and then make it appear na kaya siya pinag-iinitan sa kung anu-anong mga kaso eh dahil sa pagtaas ng kanyang ratings. just wondering, magkano na kaya ang nagagastos niya? to think na hindi pa talaga nag-start ang official campaign period.
i could only hope hindi madagdagan ang utang ng bawat Pilipino, isinilang man or hindi pa.
The Pulse Asia survey was conducted on Jan. 22-26th. It takes time for news to sink in.
Enrile’s report regarding Villar’s C-5 diversion and insertion hit the headlines on Jan. 25th. The Pulse Asia survey was almost over already by that time.
If another survey is conducted today or a week from now, I think Villar’s ratings would go down.
Still, Noynoy has to come up with more effective ads than Villar. The battle has definitely narrowed to these two contenders.
sa halip na ibalik ni Villar ang 6.4 Billion na kinita sa C-5, syempre bi-bilhin ang mga surveys ( ng Miilions ) para ilabas lamang na nananalo siya. At sa paraang ito, ma-justify niya na pati na mga TAONG bayan ( Juan de La Cruz ) ay panig sa kalukuhan niya ( halata naman, kahit na yata, batang isipan halatang-halata. Mga batang ambisyoso ang kanyang mga kabig, tulad ni Cayetano [ madal-dal at Remulla, wala namang masyadong laman ang sinasabi, nakak-yamot lang ]..Paba-yaan na lamng ang resulta, after May 2010…Kaya lang duda ko baka, advice din ng mga Arroyo, para ma-justify ang namumuong
another, Hello-Garci ( baka Hello-Melo or Hello-Automation ).halatang-halata ang deal nina GMA-Villar behind the scene.Kaya sakaling mag-kadayaan, at si Villar ang manalo sa halip na C-5, siguradong C-Philippines na iyan ( lahat ng lupa sa Pilipinas, panay C-Villar na !!! ni ayaw pa-korner sa SEnado, hanggang ngayon bina-bastos niya pa, kahit na nag-pakita ang taga TONDO, ngunit ugali niya ay TONDO Boy pa din ( may-pagkabastos, sukat nag-pakita, biglang nawala. May Agimat saka paka Panday yata ). Analysis lamang naman, para ki JUAN de la Cruz..
If anybody still doubts that Villar is corrupt and an opportunist and a clone of Gloria, click the link below. No wonder he rose back like a Phoenix after his companies went bankrupt.

RE:armani,huwag kanang umasa na ang utang di madadagan ngayon pa lang di na malaman kung saan kukunin ang budget para patakbohin ang ang pamamahalaaln dahil lahat ng laman ng kaban ng ay natunaw dahil maganda kunong pamamalakad ng kasaluyan pamahalaan.gumasta ng bilyong-bilyon salapi para ipakain sa inyong tenga,hindi para sa sikmura.Sa mga bata o di pa isinisilang sa bayan,dadami pa kayong mamasko at araw araw na sa lansangan kapag ang iyong mga magulang ay ihalalal ang isang kandidato na isang AKYAT/DUKOT sa kaban ng bayan.Ang 6 bilyon pesos parang budol-budol tignan maraming nakikinabang 6 milyon kuno ang gumagamit,pero bakit kailangan bayaran ang right of way sa ganoon halaga dahil ba titungtungan mo ang kanyang lupain.Sino ba may kagustuhan palikuin ang isang kalyeng di dapat padaanin sa lupain ito,ang 90 milyon pinoy na naghihirap sa pagbayad ng buwis at gastusin lamang ng pamahalaan sa bagay na di naman pinaglaanan.Matagal ng maraming naliligo sa dagat ng basura lahat tayong pinoy ay lumalangoy sa dagat ng maruming pulitika ng bayan.
“Armani: just wondering, magkano na kaya ang nagagastos niya? to think na hindi pa talaga nag-start ang official campaign period.”
According to our info, 2.1B na nagagastos ni Villar. Di pa nagsisimula campaign period niyan ah +.+
Statement of Sen.Noynoy Aquino:
1. I am not surprised with this turn of events. First, our opponents have had a long head start in this campaign. And while I diligently perform my functions as a legislator, the others are practically campaigning fulltime, neglecting their mandate with those who entrusted them with their votes. Second, for all the unprecedented and sustained ads spending in all forms of media of the other camp and the unrelenting and increasingly below-the-belt and baseless black propaganda against me by my opponents, not to mention the harassment we have been continuously getting from this administration—the arbitrary transfers and replacement of police directors, the inexplicably adverse rulings we have been getting from Comelec for our local executives, the abrupt cessation of government projects in provinces friendly to us and lately even the denial of venues for our rally sites– I am surprised that I am still on top of the surveys.
2. By the day, it is becoming clear that an unholy alliance is developing between this administration and my opponent. No wonder the Palace spokesman couldn’t restrain himself in expressing his gratitude to one of my opponents for keeping quiet on the many issues confronting this administration.
3. Of course, that is not to say that we do not face challenges in the campaign. Quite a lot, I must say, foremost of which is the ability to bring our message—a clean, decent, transparent and accountable government will put an end to massive corruption, dedicate precious public resources to basic services for the poor and alleviate our people’s hopelessness and poverty—across to as many of our people as possible. It is a strong and relevant message that we are certain has had and will continue to have traction among more and more of our voters. We have been able to address this. In the coming days, we will be able to do this with greater frequency and in a sustained manner through ads.
4. On top of this, I believe that our comparative advantage—the organizational strength coming from our ability to mobilize volunteers all over the country—still has to make itself felt in the campaign. We expect that to happen as we formally start the campaign this February, the historic People Power month.
5. I have been through this before. When I first ran for office as a Congressman in 1998, I faced eight opponents and initially attracted about two-thirds of the votes. After the eight ganged up on me, throwing everything they could at me, my numbers fell to half of what I started with. But since the issues they threw at me did not stick and since I brought a message of change and hope, in the end, I prevailed with plenty to spare.
6. What should not escape all of us is that I still lead the surveys—from the time I declared my candidacy to this day. I would like to assure everyone, especially our supporters, that as the formal campaign period starts, we will work harder to make sure that we remain on top of the fight and the hope of our people for a clean, competent and compassionate government through my tandem with Senator Mar Roxas will be fulfilled.
The senator allies of Senator C-5 did not attend the last day of the Senate sessions today. Result – no quorum. Result – no decision made on the resolution to censure Villar.
The wily one has escaped the verdict.
Villar accuses his non-allies as just playing politics. Their non-attendance today is not playing politics?
Ibig sabihin ng survey lumakas pa si Villar gayung nakabalandra ang mga istorya sa c5 controversy.
Unbelievable!
Martina, I think it’s because the two surveys were completed on the day before or just after the Enrile Report came out.
So there was not enough time yet for the issue to spread, to be discussed and digested by the public.
And Villar’s ads are more frequent and quite effective. His endorsers are heavyweights, too. He can do that with his billions. And I’m sure with Gloria’s, too.
Ang laki ang ibinagsak ni NoyNoy. Tingnan ninyo ang detalya ng surveys. Classes D/E have begun moving away from NoyNoy. Tapos na talaga ang pakikiramay.
Thanks Phil, ganoon pala. So, antayin ang next survey, kung patuloy ang paglakas ni Villar despite his c5 issue ay palagay ko mas mabuti pa na status quo na lang tayo kay Gloria.
Pag nanalo si Villar, may press secretary na siya, iyong si Rene Azurin, kasi ‘aso rin’ ni Villar, he he he.
Ang sabi ni AZurin ay 9% lamang ng voting population ang concerned sa c5 controvery at ang 91% ay mga class D at E na walang pakialam, o in my word mga tanga na walang alam, kaya iyon ang puntirya ni Villar sa kanyang mga ads. Makes sense din naman si Sec Aso rin.
Wow, pati hangin at ulap at nabili ni Villar!
Akala ng 91% martina ay papanalunin sila lahat ni Wowowee ng P1 million pesos each.
Isabak na sa stage si Kris at Ate Koring!
Ang layo naman ng SWS at Pulse Asia e sabay lang ang kanilang dates of survey.
RE: Unbelievable!
Exactly Igan Martina…mahirap iasa ang kapalaran ng bansa sa mga bayarang media entities at lalo na yong mga lingkod-bulsa na mga ipokritong mapagpanggap na maka-Pilipino, but sila ang salot at pahirap sa ating bayan?
NO to C5-Taga…NO to YEllow Fever, pareho yang trandor at mga sinungaling…not Once, but Twice!
Ibalik ang pamumuno sa Masang Pilipino, ibasura ang mga elitista na siyang peste sa ating lipunan?
What Manny can’t do, money can buy.
I was almost carried away and fascinated by hide choo-choo train privilege speech sa senate, tapos ay mala-Palos na umalis.
Hindi siya bastos!
Tapos itong mga aso rin niya sa senado ay hindi nagsisipot kaya hindi nagkaroon ng korum. Ganyan ba ang pinapasuweldo natin at pinapataba sa pork? ‘Yan ba ang isang ipinangako nilng panbgangalaga sa ating kapakanan noong sila’y nangangampanya?
Kapag ibinoto pang muli ng mga tao at nagsipanalo ang ang labindalawang hudas na ‘yan, hindina sa kangkungan lang tayo pupulitin kundi sa imburnal o sa poso negro na rin.
….fascinated by his choo-choo train privilege speech….
pera pera lang ang kailangan and Money Villar has all that..kung sa pera walang laban ang mga ibang kandidato..
kung sundin natin ang mga surveys na ginastosan niya..panalo nga siya..ilang tulog na lang ba bago mag election?
I caught a glimpse of the session sa senado..last session nila pero walang quorum kaya wala din nangyari..malungkot!
Parehas lang sila abnoynoy at manny villar na nagbabayad sa ahensya para mapataas ang rating nila. si abnoynoy simply lang yan pero abs-cbn ang bahala sa kanya…. si manny villar naman okei lang kasi pera nya ang ginagamit… kaysa naman sa anak ng mag asawang pareng benigno at kumareng cory na si noynoy.
Eto pa ang interesting na column ni Mr Banayo tungkol kay Money V, pero huminga muna kayo ng malalim at be prepared sa mga gamot kung may sakit sa puso, he he jokes.

Tama iyong isang presidentiable, namatay na ang mag asawang delikadesa at hiya.
RE:Parehas lang sila abnoynoy at manny villar na nagbabayad sa ahensya para mapataas ang rating nila?
TAMA ka Igan Destroyer, si Yellow Fever e ang handlers niyan walang iba kundi ang ABS-CBN, civil socialites (na kumalas sa poder ni gloria), ang right-hand man ni Kardinal Makasalanan si Obessepo Villegas ba yon na bagong talagang Bishoping ng Pangasinan (korek ba?).
About Money Villar…syiempre yong bilyones niya na laging ipinagyayabang na kesyo galing ito sa C5 at Tiyaga. Both candidates e kasama yan na nang-agaw ng Malacanang sa Masang Pilipino.
Kaya gising mga Kababayan ko coz’ ang paghihirap nýo ng 10-years e pagbayarin ang mga pesteng ito, sila ang isa sa pahirap ngayon sa ating buhay at see kuba na tayo sa kaliwa’t kanang problema na kinakaharap ng bansa.
HOY! Mga traydor ng EDSA con Hello Garci…gising, enough is enough na yong e-VAT, extra-judicial killings, Ampatuwad massacre, scams etc. etc.
Or else, dapat sa inyo bigyan ng leksyon ng matuto!
RE: caught a glimpse of the session sa senado..last session nila pero walang quorum kaya wala din nangyari..malungkot!
Talagang MALUNGKOT Igan Rose…
See, lumabas din ang tunay na kulay ng mga Senatong…inihalal ng bayan upang paglingkuran ito, but mga lingkod-bulsa pala.
Pahirap sa bayan…ang kaso ang daming bopol sa ating bayan, mukhaan nang ginagago e mga nakangisi pa. Walang kabuhay-buhay talaga, ngayon ang daming reklamo sa buhay na kesyo ganito’t ganoon.
Saan tayo patutungo nito!
Isabak na sa stage si Kris at Ate Koring! — Chi
Approve! One has to make do with whatever “hardware” one has got. If Villar is using heavyweight entertainers to lure credulous Pinoy voters to his side, Noynoy and Roxas should give marching orders to their respective heavyweight showbiz relatives to join the political scrum.
(If that’s the only way to beat Villar, I suggest that they hire Erap and Jinggoy too to perform cinematic poses on stage for them!)
Here’s a sampling of a cinematic pose that Erap can don on stage to boost masa attendance at Noynoy’s campaign gigs (Courtesy of Hot Manila. By the way, check out the film flyer! Simply gorgeous!)

Well, the answer’s in. Hundreds of murders, billions of pesos in kickbacks, bribes and corrupt deals, innumerable abuses of authority and several constitutional hijack attempts, coup plots and bomb explosions later, it’s clear the estate isn’t just close to collapse, it’s also on fire. Whatever hopes people might have had after Edsa 2 have long gone — swept away by the gale force winds of unrestrained traditional politics, the Filipino patronage system which exercises power and uses public funds for the benefit of one’s family, friends and province mates. To top it all off, now we have the sight of the two main antagonists apparently kissing, making up and cutting a deal. […]
