The “Eliminate Grace Poe” from the presidential race crusade has benefitted Vice President Jejomar Binay who has regained the lead in the latest survey of candidates for president in the 2016 elections by the Social Weather Stations.

Liberal Party standard bearer Mar Roxas, whose allies in the Commission on Election delivered the strongest blow against Poe, has gained from it a little because he is now in a statistical tie with Poe and another candidate, Rodrigo Duterte. But it doesn’t bring him closer to the presidency because Binay is pulling away.

By helping destroy Poe, Roxas is delivering the presidency to Binay.

Binay’s comeback has been noticeable since December when Comelec’s first and second divisions disqualified Poe. In the SWS survey second week of December, Binay tied with Poe in first place with 26 percent of the respondents’ nod followed by Roxas, a distant second at 22 percent followed closely by Duterte with 20 per cent who was at that time was starting his unravelling with his cursing of Pope Francis.

In the latest poll by SWS conducted last Jan. 8 to 10, Binay scored 31 percent among 1,200 respondents nationwide who were asked the standard election survey question who they would vote if elections were held today. The respondents were given eight names.
Binay’s score was a five percentage point increase from the 26 per cent he got in the last month’s survey.
Poe’s score decreased two percentage points from 26 to 24. Roxas didn’t gain and in fact went down but only by one percentage points. Duterte remained at 20 percent.

It is still four months to go before Election Day. Poe has brought the case to the Supreme Court, which will have the final say.
It is expected that she will recover if the Supreme Court decides to dismiss the disqualification cases against her.

Meanwhile, she has come out with TV ads telling the people, especially her confused supporters that the disqualification cases are attempts by people who want her out of the competition just like what they did to her father, Fernando Poe Jr., and that she is still very much in the race.

Speaking of TV ads, isn’t it amazing that Binay tops in the TV ads spending despite the fact that his bank accounts are frozen? Malalim ang balon.

    Pasalamat si Binay kay Roxas, walang let up ang destroy Grace campaign ng LP.

    Si Poe ang tinarget kasi akala nila madali ng dayain si Binay. Neknek ni Mar at L eh mayrun base si Binay na hindi natitinag kahit ipadala pa nila ito sa impierno.

    Matatalo ulit dahil sa katangahan, di na natuto. Sabagay, walang paki diyan si Noynoy, lalo ang sisterakas…. hawak din kasi nila si Binay.

    Lahat naman sila-Binay, Roxas, Duterte – are out to destroy Grace Poe because she was the one leading the race. Alam naman yan.

    But it was the Comelec’s decision disqualifying Grace that was really the major blow. And Comelec is dominated by Mar Roxas’ allies. Look at how Commissioner Guanzon acted to make sure that Grace Poe is eliminated.

    Chairman Bautista is the only appointee of President Aquino in the Comelec who was not recommended by Roxas.

    The cases are now with the Supreme Court. Hopefully, Grace will get justice from the Supreme Court. Or else if she is eliminated from the race, it’s Binay in 2016.

    Teka lang. Ang nag file ng mga disqualification cases – Tatad, David, Contreras, Valdes, Elamparo – ay masasabi bang mga ka-alyado ni Roxas at ng administrasyon? Diba puro mga matitinding critics yan ng Daan Matuwid? At si Tatad ay kasama ni Binay sa UNA. So bakit si Mar ang tinuturo diyan sa DQ cases?

    Si Mar at ang LP lang ba ang hindi nakaka-alam na ang pagbabailingan ng galit ng mga supporters ni Grace Poe kung sakaling ma DQ siya ay kung sinuman ang promotor ng kanyang pagka-DQ?

    Magaling si Binay kasi kahit na siya at yung kanyang spokesman na si Toby Tiangco ang na-unang mag raise ng questions sa eligibility ni Grace, kahit na mga kritiko ng Daan Matuwid ang nag sulong ng mga kaso laban kay Grace, si Mar at ang LP pa rin ang sinisisi ng tao at hindi si Binay.

    Pero all it takes is to look at WHO filed the cases and WHO lost ground after Grace declared her candidacy at obvious na hindi si Mar at ang LP ang propmotor ng DQ ni Grace.

    In fact mas okay nga para kay Mar kung nandiyan si Grace kasi she will divide Binay’s masa vote.

    Si Binay panalong-panalo na hanggang nag-deklara si Grace Poe. Sino ang makikinabang kung mawala si Grace?

    Ipagpalagay nating si Binay ang makikinabang sa mismong eleksyon at siya nga manalo, bakit si Roxas at LP sisihin ninyo?

    Ang dapat sisihin ay ang mga bomoto sa kanya sapagkat sa kabila ng mga katiwalian at kabulastugang kinasasangkutan niya ay siya pa rin ang ibinoto.

    Marahil ay kailangan ding sisihin ang mga media people na imbes na suportahan ang TUWID NA DAAN ay kinukutya at binabatikos pa ito.
