Most Alyansa bets retain lead in Senate race, while some pro-Duterte contenders fall short
Candidates endorsed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., primarily running under the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas banner, continue to dominate the latest Pulse Asia survey ahead of the 2025 midterm elections.
However, some candidates aligned with former President Rodrigo Duterte have fallen short of breaking into the winning circle.
Two incumbent senators, Bong Go and Bato dela Rosa, known for their support of Duterte, have retained spots in the top five, with Go topping the survey with 62.2% voter support and Dela Rosa placing fourth with 41%.
ACT-CIS Representative Erwin Tulfo leads the senatorial race with 42.4 percent support, followed closely by other administration-backed bets.
Former Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senator Ramon Bong Revilla, and former Senator Panfilo Lacson are also among the top contenders.
Several other Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas candidates, including Senator Lito Lapid and Makati Mayor Abby Binay, are within the statistical winning circle.
The survey, conducted from April 20 to 24, indicates strong public backing for the administration's senatorial slate.
Alyansa campaign manager Toby Tiangco described the results as a "people's surge," emphasizing the public's desire for senators who will defend sovereignty and advance public service.
