Hontiveros, Querubin biggest gainers in Pulse Asia survey

MANILA, Philippines - A party-list congresswoman highly critical of President Gloria Arroyo and a Marine colonel detained for involvement in a failed mutiny against the government were the biggest gainers in the latest survey of senatorial candidates conducted by polling firm Pulse Asia.

Liberal Party's Risa Hontiveros Baraquel jumped nearly 9-percentage points in Pulse Asia's April 23-25 survey, moving her within striking distance of getting into the winning circle of 12 senators for the May 10 elections.

Support for Hontiveros, an incumbent representative of Akbayan party, increased from 11% in end of May to 20% in the April survey, which means she could have placed from 11th to 18th if senatorial elections were held on the day the survey was held.

Hontiveros's 8.5-percentage point gain was the biggest among 61 individuals running for senator.

Hontiveros came out the winner in audience and on-line voters in ABS-CBN's Harapan senatorial debate on April 19, or before four days before the start of Pulse Asia's latest survey.

She performed well against Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) senatorial bet Francisco "Kit" Tatad on their debate about reproductive health.

The Harapan debate was shown on ABS-CBN's free TV, Channel 2; its 24-hour news channel, ANC; and, Studio 23.

Another Trillanes?

The second biggest gainer in the survey was detained Marine Col. Ariel Querubin, who jumped from 10% in end of March to 17.5% in April. 

Querubin's TV ads with Nacionalista Party (NP) standard-bearer Manny Villar  were widely shown prior to and during the survey period.

Querubin, with a low awareness rating of 64%, was chosen by 17.5% of survey respondents.

If Querubin makes it to the Senate, it would duplicate the astonishing feat of then detained Navy Lt. Antonio Trillanes IV, who won in 2007, despite being detained on charges of rebellion and coup d'etat.

Hontiveros and Querubin were the new names in a race that has been dominated by incumbent senators and re-electionists.

Dominated by incumbents, reelectionists

The top 15 in Pulse Asia's latest senatorial survey were:

Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. - 52.8%
Jinggoy Estrada - 50%
Miriam Santiago  - 47.9%
Juan Ponce Enrile - 40.6%
Franklin Drilon - 38.4%

Pia Cayetano - 38.1%
Vicente "Tito" Sotto - 32.3%
Sergio Osmeña - 32.2%
Ralph Recto - 30.1%
Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos - 27.7%

Teofisto "TG" Guingona III - 23%
Manuel "Lito" Lapid - 21%
Risa Hontiveros Baraquel - 20.2%
Jose "Joey" de Venecia - 19.6%
Gwen Pimentel - 19.2%

"Of the 61 individuals, running for senator, 18 have a statistical chance of winning if the May 2010 elections were held during the survey period. Five of the probable winners are from the Liberal Party (LP), three from either the Nacionalista Party (NP) or the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), and two are with the Lakas-Kampi Christian Muslim Democrats," Pulse Asia said in its April 30 media release.

The survey was done among 1,800 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus/minus 2%.

LAST CALL FOR MA Y 10TH ELECTION

For whatever it’s worth, consider this a final appeal before you go to the polls on Monday: Do not or never ever in your mind vote for Manuel Villaroyo or Erap Estrada.

Do not vote for Manny Villaroyo and Erapoyo because they are corrupt and incompetent. They have done nothing, but misery and bad, to deserve your vote; they will most likely do corruption and will steal more —which most certainly cannot be good—if he becomes president.

Do not vote for Manny Villaroyo and Erap Estrada because they are nothing but an opportunist and leeches in the society. They are heavily indebted to their relatives,cronies, political advisers like Gloria Arroyo and the gang, command-vote buying and financial backers, all of whom will most likely call the parasites and leeches of politics.

Make the important decisions of who we want to rule our beloved country - VOTE for Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas tandem) you will be seeing the change if these two will become the leader of our country.

Do not vote for Manny Villaroyo because of the continuing injustice; C5 scandal and the land grabbing from the poor citizen. As a Senator, Manny Villaroyo together with his cronies President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in the “Hello Garci” scandal because they needed Mrs. Arroyo’s help to get the Villaroyo's family off the hook in the C5 scandal and land grabbing crimes he and his empire have committed.

When it became clear that the family could not wiggle out of the injustice and the oppressed poor farmers? This poor farmers would be forced instead to give up the lands as their only way of living, It's time to take Manny Villaroyo to court and may he serve and long awaiting jail time for the crime he committed.

Voting for Manny Villaroyo or Erap Estrada as president will continue the farce of Land grabbing, stealing, bribery and corruption for another 4 years in office,

Do not vote for Manny Villaroyo or Erap Estrada because they are liars, opportunist and corrupt politicians in history.

Do not vote for Manny Villaroyo or Erapoyo trapo because they also lied about the security stock exchange scandal . To this day, Manny Villaroyo has not explained and was mute about the issues that he is implicated to and would not want to answer any questions regarding their involvement.

Do not vote for Villaroyo because he is a liar two-faced and traditional politician who is a great pretender as poor and he will say anything to a particular group and buy their votes to get elected as president. He keeps the progressive pro-choice advocates believing that he is for contraception (as he was in the House) and claims to be as his way of getting the votes when he is talking to the Church groups and media. BE CAREFUL OF THIS MAN.

Manny Villaroyo is also willing to dump his long-suffering partner Loren Legarda for Binayorro another pathetic infidels who has nothing but to air out dirty laundry in public just to get the sympathy of voters. But alas, Mar will win anyway
DO NOT LISTEN TO JAIHO because he was paid with huge amount of money from the Villaroyo and like Willie Revillame he is pushing for the opportunist and liar Manny Villaroyo. Let’s make sure that Manny Villaroyo and Erapoyo trapo will not win, if only because you really want to know if they can lead our country to install them in Malacañang, just like their Master Gloria Arroyo the pandak. For one thing, Erapoyo is been proven criminal and was impeach for doing so. Manny Villaroyo will follow suit when new administration kick in. Manny will be kaput and we all hope that the new administration will not pardon this criminal.

And don’t vote for Manny Villaroyo simply because you have fond memories of the scholarship award, and his throwing of money like water to people for them to believe that he is really for the poor? Not because you hate the current president, Manny Villaroyo and Erapoyo are no difference than Gloria Arroyo. They are all the same corrupt and opportunist.

Don’t vote for Manny Villaroyo and Erapoyo because they said, they will not steal again and would make our country a better place to live. Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas vow to curve corruption and will not steal because both are already rich and they are tired and sick of these anomaly and trademark of the corrupt politician in office today.

Everyone knows it is wrong to steal (but not for Manny Villaroyo and Erap Estrada because this is their hobby and way of living)—why would Noynoy be voted into office simply for promising to do what everyone should be doing? "THOU SHALL NOT STEAL" and NOYNOY AND MAR will not steal. THEIR GOAL IS TO CLEAN UP THE BAD IMAGE OF POLITICS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND I HOPE WE ARE ALL FOR IT. I KNOW I AM.....ARE YOU?

AND LASTlY, Please DON’T LISTEN to those corrupt politicians LOYALISTS who are running. THEY HAVE ONE INTENTION, to get your trust and Votes so they can continue their lifestyle of corruption and injustice.

TIME FOR A CHANGE AND LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN AND DO IT ALL TOGETHER.

LP STRAIGHT!
VOTE FOR NOYNOY AQUINO AND MAR ROXAS TANDEM FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT…

GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES…..
