IT seems that the left and right attacks made against leading senatorial candidate ACT-CIS partylist Rep. Erwin Tulfo were futile, after the latest survey conducted by Oculum Research and Analytics during the fourth quarter of 2024 showed that he remains far ahead against his competitors in the senatorial election this coming May.

A survey done from December 16-22, 2024, showed that seven out of 10 Filipinos would vote for Erwin Tulfo, after he registered a 70.8 % in surveys conducted among Filipino adults who said they would vote for him in the coming May midterm elections.

He has a wide margin ahead of the second and third candidates, former Senator Tito Sotto (52.3%) and Ben Tulfo (50. 1%).

Ranking third up to the fifth place is Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. (49.2%), while in the fourth up to the seventh spot is Sen. Pia Cayetano (46.9%).

While former Senator Sen. Manny Pacquiao received 46.3% for the fourth up to the eight place, and Sen. Bong Go (44.4%) landing in the fifth to eight place.

In the sixth to the eight position is Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who has a 43.8% voting preference.

Makati City Mayor Abby Binay (40.3%) is in the ninth up to the eleventh place, followed by former Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson (39.2%) and Las Piñas City Rep. Camille Villar (37.5%) who are tied in the ninth up to the twelveth place.

Television host Willie Revillame (36.2%) occupies the tenth up to the twelveth place.

Trying to catch up in the Magic 12 survey are Sen. Imee Marcos (33.3 %) who is in the 12th to the 14th spot, and former Sen. Lito Lapid (31.1%) who is in the 13th up to the 15th spot.

The said survey was done using a face-to-face methodology among 1,200 adult respondents.

Some netizens also said that they would still vote for Erwin Tulfo even if he is being criticized by some groups.

“Alam naman natin na tuwing eleksyon ganyan ang kalakaran, kung ano-ano ang lumalabas sa nangununang kandito. Pero karamihan naman walang basehan,” a netizen said.

“Nakita naman natin ang mga nagawa ng mga Tulfo sa ating bansa, kaya siya (Erwin Tulfo) ang iboboto ng mga pinoy,” commented another netizen.
