MANILA – Vice presidential bet Davao City Mayor Sara Z. Duterte will work harder to sustain if not widen her lead in various poll surveys, House Majority Leader and Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez said Thursday.
Romualdez, one of the two campaign managers of Duterte and Lakas Christian-Muslim Democrats (CMD) president, emphasized this after Duterte remained in the Tangere survey as the country’s top choice with 56.63 percent voter's preference.
Citing the survey, Romualdez said Duterte, who is also Lakas-CMD chairperson, has not only maintained her position as the top vice presidential choice for Filipinos but has even widened her lead over her rivals.
“Like Mayor Duterte, presidential candidate former Senator Bongbong Marcos remains to be the candidate to beat. We will continue to work harder and ensure that we will sustain if not widen the lead of the BBM-Sara tandem,” Romualdez said.
Romualdez welcomed the results of the latest survey and thanked Filipinos for their support and continuing trust in Duterte.
“This is a manifestation of the voters' support for Mayor Duterte, their validation of her skills, competence and expertise in leading the country as next vice president,” Romualdez said.
Manila Bulletin's March 1-4 Tangere survey, which was participated by 2,400 adult respondents through a mobile app, showed Duterte gaining three percent in voters' acceptance compared to the results of the same survey last month.
Twelve percent from Metro Manila; 20 percent from the Visayas, 23 percent from Mindanao, 23 percent from Northern and Central Luzon; and 22 percent from Southern Luzon and Bicol region made up the 2,400 respondents.
In the February 10-12 Tangere survey, which was also participated by the same number of respondents, Duterte got a 53.63 percent voter preference compared with 15.5 percent of Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III who was in second.
In third was Willie Ong with 15.42 percent.
In the March survey, Duterte has 56.63 percent voter preference while Sotto has 16.08 percent and Ong with 14.17 percent.
The same survey results also showed Duterte’s presidential tandem former Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas leading the presidential pack with 48.75 percent preference and followed by Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso with 22.67 percent. (PR)
