Pulse Asia survey was made BEFORE Leni Robredo’s massive rallies, flood of celeb endorsements and active H2H campaigning by volunteers

May 3, 2022 1 Comment

After the latest Pulse Asia election survey came out showing former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. way ahead and Vice-President Leni Robredo trailing far behind, I could see all over social media a collective sigh of despair and defiance.

Duterte aide plasters his face on paid ads asking public for pandemic aid

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist Then they came fof the Trade Unionists, and I did not out speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
