The respondents were proportionately distributed across the Philippines—12 percent from NCR, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Former Interior Secretary and Mandaluyong City Mayor Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos Jr. expressed gratitude after securing the 9th spot in Tangere’s latest survey for the 2025 senatorial elections.

Abalos said survey results highlight his long-standing career in public service.

As mayor of Mandaluyong for 15 years, the senatorial bet said he implemented programs that earned the city several accolades, including Best Child-Friendly City, Most Business-Friendly City, and the Seal of Good Local Governance.

His Project TEACH initiative for children with disabilities was recognized by the United Nations Public Service Award.

Abalos said he also prioritized free education in Mandaluyong, providing tuition-free schooling from daycare to college, school supplies, laptops, and allowances for senior high school students.

His focus on health and nutrition allowed Mandaluyong to receive the Best in Nutrition award.

Abalos is part of Alyansa para sa Pagbabago 2025, the official senatorial slate of the Marcos administration.

Abalos said his priorities include reforms to the Local Government Code to clarify the responsibilities of national and local governments, improving the agricultural sector, and lowering interest rates on loans for farmers.

The former DILG chief said he will work on the reduction of electricity costs and strengthening of the investment climate in the country to create more jobs for Filipinos.

Abalos was previously recognized as the top-performing cabinet secretary under the Marcos administration based on RPMD Foundation Inc.’s “Boses ng Bayan” survey.

Abalos said he has positioned his campaign on platforms focused on education, health, agriculture, and national security as part of his bid for a Senate seat.

MANILA, Philippines – Brothers Erwin and Ben Tulfo led the senatorial survey conducted after the filing of the certificate of candidacy (COC), market research firm Tangere announced on Monday.

According to the survey conducted from October 10 to 12, ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo remained prominent to voters, with an increase of 4.5 percent voter preference rate, Tangere Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Martin Penaflor said. Erwin received a total voter preference rate of 62.33 percent, Penaflor added.

Meanwhile, media personality Ben Tulfo saw a 6.42 percent increase in his voter preference rate, improving his ranking from sixth place last month to second place in the recent polls.

“Voters from Metro Manila, Mindanao, and Northern Luzon were the primary drivers of increase for the 6.42 percent increase of Ben Tulfo, with a total voter preference of 49 percent,” Penaflor explained in a press conference.

Tangere also noted that nine of the top 12 senators in the recent polls come from the Marcos administration’s slate.

Among them are incumbent senators Pia Cayetano (46.08 percent), Lito Lapid (31.67 percent), and Francis Tolentino (31.46 percent); former senators Tito Sotto (46.50 percent), Manny Pacquiao (42.21 percent), and Panfilo “Ping” Lacson (38.92 percent); Makati Mayor Abby Binay (36.17 percent); and former Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos (33.42 percent).

Penaflor said Mindanao votes garnered by former president Rodrigo Duterte during their September polls were distributed among the Tulfo brothers and Lacson.

“When Duterte didn’t file his COC, his voter preference [rate] from the previous survey, when we analyzed it, went to three major people: Erwin Tulfo, Ben Tulfo, and Ping Lacson. Lacson went from 14th to 7th in one month, and his voter preference is driven by voters 36 years old and above, similar to the voter preference back then of then-president Rodrigo Duterte. His votes were also driven by voters from Calabarzon and Davao Region,” he explained.

angere also had anticipated that some of Duterte’s votes would shift to Sen. Bong Go, but they only saw a 0.5 percent voter preference increase from the previous month.

“Our analysis is that people now are no longer aligning Go to the former president,” Penaflor said.

“When you mention Bong Go, what comes to mind first? Last year, it was Duterte—his special aide. Now, if you ask about Bong Go, it’s malasakit (compassion), referring to the Malasakit Program. Duterte is no longer at the top of mind. And that’s the best stage of awareness,” he added in Filipino.

When asked if Go’s involvement in retired police colonel Royina Garma’s exposé on the Duterte administration’s drug war could further impact his standing, Penaflor said this would be revealed in the results of next month’s survey.

Also making the top 12 senatorial survey list is Sagip Party-list Rep. Rodante Marcoleta, garnering a total voter preference of 31.88 percent.

Marcoleta’s result is driven by respondents from Mindanao, particularly the Davao Region, the market research firm said.

The Tangere national survey was conducted through a mobile-based app with a sample size of 2,400 participants, yielding a margin of error of +/- 1.96 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.

According to Penaflor, only 600 of the 2,400 respondents selected a full 12-seat senatorial lineup.

On average, respondents voted for just eight senators, which the firm attributes to factors such as low candidate awareness and preference.

The survey employed a stratified random sampling method, based on quotas, and was distributed across the country, the market research firm said.

“It included 12 percent of respondents from the National Capital Region, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao,” Penaflor said.
