"LEADING PRESIDENTIABLES IN 2010-2ND QUARTER 2009"
MANNY VILLAR
Who are the best leaders to succeed President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2010? The latest survey on presidentiables by pollster SWS said its MANNY VILLAR, NOLI DE CASTRO and MAR ROXAS.
KABAYAN NOLI DE CASTRO
Philippine elections is just ten months away and the filing of certificates of candidacy has not yet started but the early campaigning of the leading presidentiables on 2010
in the guise of the so called INFOMERCIALS has paid off with the recent entry of Senator MAR ROXAS into the magic 3 based on the latest survey by pollster SWS published on their website http://www.sws.org.ph. The results showed perrenial topnotcher Kabayan NOLI DE CASTRO being dislodged by fellow Senator MANNY VILLAR. It’s very evident that high profile media exposure can make or break a president or any elective official in this country.
MR. PALENGKE MAR ROXAS
So, let’s watch out for developments to unfold on the run-up to the May 2010 elections as this would be surely an exciting MEGA FIGHT between the richest Philippine senator, MANNY VILLAR, KABAYAN NOLI DE CASTRO with the possible backing of the newly merged adiministration party LAKAS-KAMPI(if Kabayan decides to join) and Mr Palengke/ Mr. PADYAKITO’s MAR ROXAS. The recent withdrawal of Senator Panfilo Lacson from the presidential race may also affect their rankings in the next survey as we still don’t know to whom his supporters will gravitate. Abangan!!!!

Social Weather Stations
As authorized by the survey sponsor, for the information of the public, Social Weather Stations is disclosing the results of an item on the Best Leader to Succeed Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2010 in the April 16-May 6, 2009 survey commissioned by Ms. Avic Amarillo in behalf of Senator Manuel Villar, Jr., which were referred to in the news item, “SWS: Race narrows down to Manny Villar, Noli de Castro, Mar Roxas“, in the June 18, 2009 issue of the Philippine Star. (Ms. Amarillo is the Media Officer of Senator Manuel Villar, Jr.)
The SWS May 2009 survey found that Senator Manny Villar, Vice-President Noli De Castro, and Senator Mar Roxas are the people’s top recommended successors to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2010.
The survey question asked was, “Sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang Konstitusyon, ang termino ni Pang. Arroyo ay hanggang sa taong 2010 lamang at magkakaroon ng halalan para sa pagka-pangulo sa Mayo 10, 2010. Sinu-sino sa palagay ninyo ang mga magagaling na lider na dapat pumalit kay Pang. Arroyo bilang Presidente? Maaari po kayong magbanggit ng hanggang tatlong sagot.”[Under the present Constitution, the term of Pres. Arroyo is up to 2010 only, and there will be an election for a new President in May 2010. Who do you think are good leaders who should succeed Pres. Arroyo as President? You may give up to three names].
To that question, 29% named Sen. Manny Villar, 21% named Vice-Pres. Noli De Castro, and 18% named Sen. Mar Roxas.
They were followed by Sen. Francis Escudero (15%), Sen. Loren Legarda (14%), former Pres. Joseph Estrada (13%), and Sen. Panfilo Lacson (12%).
No list of names was provided to prompt the respondents.
The survey found that 2% mentioned Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay and Pres. Gloria Arroyo, while 1% mentioned Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Sen. Richard Gordon, Sen. Francis Pangilinan, and MMDA Chairperson Bayani Fernando.
One out of five (20%) could not give an answer, and 9% had no one to recommend.
The question wording has been exactly the same in the past eight surveys shown in Table 1.
