Villar, who is running under the UniTeam banner, garnered a voter preference of 59 percent.

“Maraming salamat po sa OCTA Research, salamat din po sa mga kababayan natin sa tiwala at pagpapahalaga sa aking serbisyo publiko. Masaya po ako sa resulta ng survey, maraming salamat po sa mga taong sumusuporta at naniniwala sa aking kakayahan na mag lingkod sa ating bansa (I thank OCTA Research as well as our countrymen for trusting and giving importance to my public service. I am happy with the result of the survey, thanks to everyone who has been supporting and believing in my ability to serve the country),” Villar said.

Based on the survey conducted from April 2 to 6, 2022 on some 1,200 respondents from all social classes nationwide, broadcaster Raffy Tulfo is still the frontrunner with a voter preference of 68 percent.

Villar (59 percent) was followed by Antique Rep. Loren Legarda (56), Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri (54), Sorsogon Governor Francis “Chiz” Escudero (50) and former House Speaker Alan Cayetano (48).

Meanwhile, the other six senatorial candidates who made it to the "winners' circle" of the OCTA survey were film actor Robin Padilla (44), former Vice President Jejomar "Jojo" Binay (42), former Senator Jinggoy Estrada (42), Senator Joel Villanueva (41), Senator Sherwin Gatchalian (39), and former Senator JV Estrada Ejercito (36).

Within striking distance of the "Magic 12" are Senator Risa Hontiveros (33), former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista (28), former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque (25), former Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Guillermo Eleazar (24), former senator Gringgo Honasan (24) and former senator Antonio Trillanes IV (22).

“Asahan niyo na akin pong ipagpapatuloy ang magandang nasimulan ng 'Build, Build, Build' program upang makapagbigay ng kabuhayan para sa mga manggagawang Pilipino. Malaking bagay po sa atin ang suporta at tiwala ng mga Pilipino. Ako po, kasama ang buong UniTeam ay may iisang adhikain para sa mga mamayang Pilipino (Rest assured that I will continue the good foundation of the 'Build, Build, Build' program in order to provide livelihood to Filipino workers. The support and trust of Filipinos are a big deal to me. I join the UniTeam in their aspirations for the Filipino people),” Villar concluded.
