ACT-CIS Party-list Rep. Erwin Tulfo has taken the lead in the Social Weather Stations (SWS) senatorial survey conducted from May 2 to 6.

Commissioned by Stratbase Consultancy, the nationwide survey showed Tulfo as the top choice of 45 percent of registered voters, overtaking Senator Bong Go, who garnered 43 percent. 

Go had led the April survey, with Tulfo in second place.

Former Senate President Tito Sotto secured third place with 37 percent, rising from a previous fourth-fifth ranking.

Senator Lito Lapid (previously ranked third) is now tied with media personality Ben Tulfo (up from seventh to eighth) in fourth to fifth place, both at 34 percent.

Former senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson climbed from 11th to sixth place with 32 percent.

Tied in seventh-eighth place with 31 percent each are Makati Mayor Abby Binay, who rose from ninth, and Senator Bato dela Rosa, who slipped from sixth.

Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar (previously 10th) and Senator Pia Cayetano (down from fourth-fifth) are tied at ninth-10th place with 30 percent each.

Senators Bong Revilla (down from seventh-eighth) and Imee Marcos (up from 13th-14th) round out the “Magic 12,” sharing 11th-12th with 29 percent.

Just outside the top 12 are former senator Manny Pacquiao (down from 12th), television host Willie Revillame (steady at 13th-14th), and former Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos (up from 17th-18th), all tied in 13th to 15th place with 24 percent each.

Former senators Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan, both previously tied at 15th-16th, now rank 16th and 17th with 23 percent and 21 percent, respectively.

The Stratbase-SWS May 2025 National Survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews with 1,800 registered voters aged 18 and above. 

The sample was distributed regionally as follows: 300 in Metro Manila, 900 in Balance Luzon, 300 in the Visayas, and 300 in Mindanao. 

The survey has a national margin of error of ±2.31 percent.

SWS used a revised ballot template containing 66 names, based on the list released by the Commission on Elections.
