Presidential candidate and Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso on Tuesday, March 15, dismissed the latest survey results conducted by Pulse Asia.
"I'm happy for them, to those who enjoy their numbers, but I'm happy with the people," Domagoso said in an ambush interview in Albay.
"We will go and engage the people. I think what matters most is the people... The way we see the people going and attending to us, if not all, most of them spend their own money, or if not, spend their time just to be here,” he added.
Domagoso ranked third in the latest Pulse Asia presidential preference survey released on Monday, March 15.
Aksyon Demokratiko chairman Ernest Ramel Jr., had also earlier pointed out that the recent Pulse Asia results were conducted for more than one month, saying it does not show the “current pulse of the public” anymore.
“Ang datos ng Pulse Asia ay hindi na nagpapakita ng kasalukuyang pulso ng mamamayan dahil halos isang buwan na ang lumipas mula noong ginawa ang naturang survey (The Pulse Asia data is not showing the current pulse of the public because it has been more than one month since the survey was conducted),” he said in a statement.
“Ang internal numbers na nakukuha namin na mas malapit sa kasalukuyang panahon ay may mas malaki ng pagkakaiba hambing sa numero ng Pulse Asia (The internal numbers we receive that are closer to the current situation has a big difference compared to numbers of Pulse Asia),” he added.
