Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. is the biggest gainer among those who filed their certificates of candidacy last week, placing second in the vice-presidential race that has always been dominated by Chiz Escudero, running mate of presidential candidate Grace Poe, results of the survey conducted by the Magdalo group four days after the Commission on Elections closed the filing of certificates of candidacies for the 2016 elections last Oct. 16.
The survey, conducted on Oct 20 through 23, also showed Poe increasing her lead over her rivals in the presidential race with Jojo Binay of United Nationalist Alliance still running second.
The results:
Candidates for President:
Grace Poe, 43%; Jejomar Binay, 26%; Mar Roxas, 17%; Miriam D. Santiago, 11%
Candidates for Vice President: Chiz Escudero,37%; Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr, 24%; Alan Cayetano and Antonio Trillanes IV , both with 11%; Leni Robredo, 9%; Gringo Honasan, 7%.
Based on the survey results,the surge in popularity of Liberal Party’s candidate Mar Roxas after the endorsement of President Aquino and his declaration to run for the presidency in 2016 seems to have ended. His numbers have remained the same and have not been boosted by having the much-admired Leni Robredo as his running mate.
The last survey by SWS and Pulse Asia showing Roxas getting close to frontrunner Poe was conducted before the latter declared her candidacy last Sept. 16.
Robredo performed better than UNA vice presidential bet Gringo Honasan. Other vice presidential bets like Escudero, Antonio Trillanes IV, and Alan Cayetano, saw their numbers going down.
Robredo’s good showing in the survey didn’t seem to boost Roxas.
Even the results from Panay provinces (Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo) showed Miriam Defensor-Santiago eating up on some of Roxas’potential votes. Santiago is from Iloilo and Roxas is from Capiz.
A portion of his letter read: “A vote for Miriam Santiago is one less vote for Mar Roxas. Yes our very own Mar Roxas who is one true Ilonggo and the Mar Roxas who has quietly and consistently done so much for country and the Ilonggo region…
“My friend, a vote for Miriam Santiago is not only one less vote for Mar Roxas, it is also a vote for the ultimate return of the Marcoses and the Tropang Plunderers whether or not you vote for Bongbong. Worse, your vote for Miriam Santiago is a vote for a traitor to our country and an even bigger traitor to the Ilonggo region.”
The decision of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte not to run for president seems to have benefitted Poe more than other presidential candidates.
Aside from Poe, Roxas, Binay and Santiago, the Magdalo survey also included in the list Roy Señeres and Ausuto Syjuco, Jr who have filed their COC for president.
The Magdalo group has been conducting surveys since the first senatorial run of its leader, Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, in 2007. The survey is designed and supervised by Trillanes’ chief-of-staff , Rolando “Oyie” Averilla.
Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. is the biggest gainer among those who filed their certificates of candidacy last week, placing second in the vice-presidential race that has always been dominated by Chiz Escudero, running mate of presidential candidate Grace Poe, initial results of the latest survey by the Magdalo group showed.
The survey, according to a Magdalo source, conducted right after the Commission on Elections closed the filing of certificates of candidacies for the 2016 elections last Oct 16, also showed Poe increasing her lead over her rivals in the presidential race with Jojo Binay of United Nationalist Alliance still running second.

Escudero still lead the VP race with Marcos in second place, followed by Trillanes and Cayetano, Honasan and Robredo.
The Magdalo source said the survey is still incomplete as they have not completed the interviews in Northern Luzon hit badly by typhoon Lando and vote-rich Cebu.
The source said results from Panay provinces (Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Iloilo) showed Miriam Defensor-Santiago eating up on some of Roxas’potential votes.
Santiago is from Iloilo and Roxas is from Capiz.
In Facebook, artist Rock Drilon posted an open letter to fellow Ilonggos not to vote for Santiago.
A portion of his letter read: “A vote for Miriam Santiago is one less vote for Mar Roxas. Yes our very own Mar Roxas who is one true Ilonggo and the Mar Roxas who has quietly and consistently done so much for country and the Ilonggo region…

Tatagalugin ko na para di makasabat ang kano na maka DILAW. Malamang mananalo si Bongbong Marcos kasi sobrang daming kapalpakan ng pamunuang Aquino. Ngayong nakukumpara ang pamamahala ng mga Marcos at Aquino na di hamak mas maganda ang palakad ng mga Marcoses…Matatapos na ang termino ni Noynoy ay wala man lamang nagawa para mapabuti ang serbisyo sa mga mamayan. Nakipaglaro lang video games sa kanirang mga pamangkin. Nakuha ang ilang isla nating ng China at malamang ang Midanao ay mapunta sa Malaysia.
Ana Duran, ako’y nagtataka bakit pilit na nililigawan ni Pnoy si Grace to be as VP ni Mar. Do say na hindi alam ni Pnoy na hindi qualified si Grace ? or hindi rin alam ni Pnoy ang Batas. up to now marami pa rin ang nagpipilit na foundling si grace, High school pa lang ay itinuro na kung ano ang ” Jus Sanguinis ” sa ating batas. saang school kaya sila nag high school.
Jojo, si Grace ay gagamitin ni Noynoy na deodorizer ni Mar kasi sobrang baho ni Mar. Tatlumpung tao si Mar sa gobyerno pero wala man lamang nagawang mabuti. Ang pagkatao ni Mar ay walang kalatoy latoy…itsura na lang mukha ng TALO…Pero mabaho rin pala si Grace kasi napatunayang dinoktor niya ang Birth certificate niya at oportunista siya…lahat sila mababaho…si Bongbong Marcos lang ang may magandang pagkatao…laging nakangiti at walang bahid paghihiganti sa puso niya…matalino at may pagmamahal sa ating bansa…magisa niyang nilabanan ang BBL para di mapunta ang Mindanao sa Malaysia…
