Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr. leads presidential aspirants with 60% voter preference in a Pulse Asia survey conducted from February 18 to 23.

Vice President Leni Robredo is a distant second with 15% voter support, followed by Manila Mayor Isko Moreno with 10%.

Senator Manny Pacquiao garnered 8% of the votes, while Senator Panfilo Lacson received 2%.

Marcos' 60% rating is the first time Pulse Asia has seen a majority percentage selecting one candidate.

Pulse Asia executive director Ana Tabunda attributed Marcos' popularity to his ability to capture voters' imagination, adequate campaign resources, and his family name's association with his father.

Marcos' lead over other candidates is more than double President Rodrigo Duterte's lead over Senator Grace Poe in 2016, according to Tabunda.

Marcos is running with Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as his vice-presidential running mate.
