Tulfo brothers lead in poll by OCTA
ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo and his brother, broadcaster Ben Tulfo, led the senatorial survey of independent pollster OCTA Research at the beginning of the campaign period for national positions. In its Tugon ng Masa survey conducted from Jan. 25-31, 2025, Erwin Tulfo led the survey with 70 percent voter preference, followed by his elder brother, Ben, with 60 percent. Following the Tulfos are Sen. Bong Go, former senator Tito Sotto, Sen. Bong Revilla, and entertainer Willie Revillame. The other six candidates who might have a shot at the Senate are former senator Panfilo Lacson, Sen. Pia Cayetano, former senator Manny Pacquiao, Sen. Imee Marcos, Sen. Lito Lapid, and former interior secretary Benhur Abalos. In all, the administration coalition "Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas" will get eight seats, while Go is the only Duterte-aligned candidate with a shot to win a spot in the Magic 12. Ben Tulfo, Revillame and Marcos are considered as independents. Candidates out of the top 12 but have a statistical chance of winning seats include Sen. Francis Tolentino, Makati Mayor Abigail Binay, Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar and Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa. At the bottom of the survey are other candidates such as former senators Francis Pangilinan and Gregorio Honasan, physician Dr. Willie Ong, former senator Paolo Benigno Aquino IV, actor Phillip Salvador, 1-Rider Party-list Rep. Bonifacio Bosita, Sagip Party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta, jailed televangelist Apollo Quiboloy, singer Jimmy Bondoc, former executive secretary Victor Rodriguez, retired colonel Ariel Querubin and ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. Francisca Castro. The face-to-face survey was conducted nationwide with 1200 respondents and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent. In a Pulse Asia survey, meanwhile, Go secured second and third spot among preferred senatorial candidates, with 50.4 percent of respondents saying they would vote for him. Go expressed his gratitude to the voters. "Just like then and now, I will never waste the opportunity given to me by the people to serve the people," Go said in a statement.
