Eight senatorial candidates aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. secured spots in the top 12 of a recent Social Weather Stations survey.

ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo leads with 45 percent support, followed by Senator Lito Lapid at third place with 36 percent.

Other administration-backed candidates include Vicente 'Tito' Sotto III (NPC) at fourth place and Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr. (Lakas) at fifth place.

Makati Mayor Abby Binay, former Senator Panfilo Lacson, and Manny Pacquiao each secured spots in the top 12 with around 30 percent support.

Senator Christopher 'Bong' Go (PDP-Laban), Ben Tulfo (independent), and Dela Rosa (PDP-Laban) also made it to the top 12 but are not part of the administration slate.

Navotas City Representative Toby Tiangco, campaign manager for Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, noted strong voter support during recent rallies across key regions.
