Results of the latest online survey in the social networking site “Facebook” show Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro Jr. consolidating his lead among the presidential candidates in the May 10, 2010 elections.
As of Wednesday noon, voting results for Round No. 8 of the Facebook application "Election 2010," which had 1,833 online ballots counted, featured the bar topnotcher and Harvard-trained lawyer maintaining his lead with 34.17 percent of the votes.
Teodoro is followed by Bro. Eddie Villanueva, with 30.92 percent; Senator Richard Gordon, 17.80 percent, and Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, with 12.04 percent. Round No. 8 started last January 5.
Teodoro had surpassed his third-place finish during the first round last year. He surged to the top during Round No. 5 where he had 46.07 percent of the total 2,062 votes, while Aquino had 20.85 percent.
A mock poll conducted last month by the Manila Standard Today also showed that voters are convinced that Teodoro is the most competent and qualified presidential candidate.
"Teodoro voters resolutely see him as smart, intelligent and capable," Pedro Laylo, the broadsheet's resident pollster, said, commenting on a poll result of 2,500 respondents throughout the country.
Also commenting on the Facebook’s simulated election results, Teodoro’s supporters said the results are hardly surprising.
In his comment, Ryan del Rosario pointed out that "Intelligent voters will really pick G1BO," adding that "Gibo Teodoro's campaign is based on positive change, solutions, track records, decency and competency."
Another comment made by Ringo N. Cielo Perezi stated that he voted for Teodoro because “amongst the presidentiables, I think he is the only one that can deliver what he says... he looks sincere and intelligent to me."
Likewise last month, a poll by the online edition of the country's oldest newspaper, the Manila Bulletin, saw a significant boost for Teodoro whom the thinking crowd described as the most competent among the presidential hopefuls.
The result of the online poll in the Manila Bulletin website (http://www.mb.com.ph/home) at the time showed Teodoro posting a steady lead over the other contenders with 45 percent (25,814) of the total 57,578 "votes" from those who participated in the poll.
Teodoro was followed by Senator Aquino (39 percent or 22,191 votes), Senator Manny Villar (10 percent or 5,821 votes), and former President Joseph Estrada (3 percent or 1,635 votes).
The Manila Bulletin online poll asks visitors to its site the question: "Which presidential candidate for the May 2010 elections is most capable of handling the duties as the Philippines' next leader?" (PNA)
