Let there be a validating circuit, an academic institution like UP or Ateneo, to conclude whether or not these surveys periodically released by SWS as well as Pulse Asia which tend to set the trend or condition the minds of the voting public to vote for a ‘deceivingly’ winnable candidate are – scientific, defensible and a true reflection of the respondents’sentiment or opinion.

Absent this, these surveys are deemed passe – mere scrap of paper.

I share Hayden Toro’s skepticism about surveys. We are given no details of how good a representative of the total voting population in the country the sample is. Is it a true cross-section of all the voters? How many came from the A, B, C, D, etc. crowd? How many came from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao? And I mean bona fide residents in these islands, not migrants from these islands now residing in Manila. Unless they can present evidence that their sample is an accurate representation of the voting population, the integrity of the results is questionable, no matter that their margin of error is only 1%.

Frick and Frack.

I see Perlas was given the boot by COMELEC. Evidently he did not have enough money to prove he was serious. That he presented the only action-oriented platform was irrelevant.

So instead of primaries, we have the wisdom of the elders . . .

such as it is.

I doubt the integrity of the data. And the integrity of the people conducting the survey. What pattern of sampling did they use? It did not reflect any. It just mentioned who are in, who are out. Who are on top, who are below.

The last time I had seen the survey. Noli de Castro was on top. He was not even a candidate. The fellow did not even move his eyeballs to show he was in the race. And he was on top?
While the others, moving heaven and earth to show they are in
the race. They were in far distant. It is like the way COMELEC
is accredidating candidates to be inclused in their list.

the survey shows that noynoy came on top only because of his “sudden” popularity; which, to my assessment, clearly means that he is not prepared.

as for the villar-gma theory, well, this confirms previous rumors of the admin supporting villar in the end.

Don’t you think it funny, or probably astute, that after the forum at UST, the predominantly intelligent and Christian audience rated Delos Reyes a zero on credibility?

Yes. Ideological allies as in Bonnie and Clyde.
