Bangon Pilipinas on Doubt of Villanueva's 2% in Pulse Asia

by Mary Ann G. Jocson



The Bangon Pilipinas party of Bro. Eddie Villanueva has expressed doubt about the latest Pulse Asia Survey which had him still with only 2% support just like in January's survey result.

"Bangon Pilipinas believes that the latest rating that pegged Bro. Eddie Villanueva at 2 percent is quite improbable." "After visiting key cities and provinces, even Hong Kong where Bangon Pilipinas gathered the biggest crowd for a political rally at Chater Road in February, the Party just cannot simply believe that ratings would still remain at 2 percent," Bangon Pilipinas added.

Aside from his tours for campaign, Villanueva also have at least social networking sites, including facebook, which shows that Bro. Villanueva is the number one or number two contender for the May 2010 elections. According to them, these information does not seem to reflect in the survey's results.

Bangon Pilipinas also said that the victories of former President Fidel Ramos in 1992, and military rebel Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, who won in 2007 despite being behind bars, show that surveys can be wrong. "We recall that former President Fidel Ramos and Senator Sonny Trillanes were both lagging in surveys when the two ran for public office, but both captured the winning votes," Villanueva's party said. "The only way to really find out the people’s truthful pulse is by the result of a credible election, not by the results of commissioned surveys."

During the 2004 elections, Villanueva was defeated by President Gloria Arroyo, the late actor Fernando Poe Jr., Sen. Panfilo Lacson, and the late Sen. Raul Roco being last with only about 2 million votes or only 6% of the total number of voters.
