Filipinos prefer candidates advocating PhilHealth subsidies, education, food price increase

A recent noncommissioned survey by WR Numero Research suggests that four in five Filipinos would vote for senatorial candidates who advocate for government subsidies for PhilHealth, prioritize education, and address rising food prices.

Eighty percent of respondents want candidates who push for PhilHealth subsidies, while 7% were opposed and 13% remained unsure.

Sixty-seven percent of those surveyed said they would vote for candidates prioritizing the country's education crisis, and 54% support those focusing on increasing food prices.

Forty-eight percent of participants expressed interest in voting for candidates advocating comprehensive sexual education discussions, with 28% unsure and 25% disagreeing.

The survey aimed to identify key issues influencing voters' choices for the May 2025 senatorial elections, highlighting the importance of health care and educational reform, as well as public sentiment on cooperation with China and military modernization.

Slightly over half (43%) do not support Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment, while 26% are in favor and 31% remain unsure.
