'Bistek' tops SWS survey for QC mayoral bets
MANILA, Philippines - If elections were held today, former Herbert "Bistek" Bautista would overwhelmingly win as mayor in Quezon City, based on the latest Social Weather Stations survey.
The SWS said that of the 500 registered voters interviewed by its researches face-to-face, 75% prefer Bautista for the mayoralty post.
Quezon City 2nd district Rep. Mary Ann Susano was mentioned by 9% of the respondents followed by former presidential chief of staff Michael Defensor with 7%, Ismael Mathay Jr. 5% and Antonio Inton 3%.
The SWS said the December 16 to 19 survey was sponsored by Giovanni Estrada.
It said that the 500 registered voters randomly picked as respondents were divided from the 4 districts of the city.
Quezon City councilor Joy Belmonte, daughter of incumbent Mayor Sonny Belmonte's daughter, meanwhile, led the survey on candidates for city vice-mayor.
Belmonte was preferred by 60% of the respondents followed by Janet "Babes" Malaya with 19% and actress Aiko Melendez with 17%.

LET'S GIVE BISTEK A CHANCE
Bistek has been vice-mayor for more than a decade and he has shown political maturity when he joined Belmonte, despite being running under differnt party before. He learned from the old man and he respect the latter.
Belmonte also recognizes Bistek potential. Unlike Binay who wants to be replaced by his son, Belmonte believes in proper time for everyone, so he let his daughter run for Vice-mayor of Bistek.
GO LUCK BAUTISTA-BELMONTE tandem. Unbeatable yan lalo na under sila ng 'NOYNOY-MAR' ticket yan ng LP fo president and vice-president.
May Bistek prove that he is worthy to be a mayor of QC.
Thanks SB
Bistek should thank Sonny Belmonte for transforming QC into what it is today. Without him being affiliated with one of the best city mayors in the land as Vice of SB, he wouldn't have high results in the ratings.
And yes, QC voters have no much of a choice but to vote for someone part of the SB Team.
aside from
we dont have much choice.
Bistek will make a good mayor
because, afterall, he is a good (corny) comedian.
