Top gainer

Kiko, 61, was a top gainer in a pre-election senatorial survey released by OCTA Research two weeks into the polling period.

In a survey released on April 28, Kiko gained three points, moving from the 12th to the 10th spot, an improvement from last month's 19th rank.

Kiko is now part of the winning circle, also known as the "Magic 12." The survey was conducted from April 10 to April 16, a month before the May 12 elections. It included 1,200 respondents and has a margin of error of ±3 percent. The midterm elections will take place on Monday, May 12.

Numerous observers suggest that Kiko's rise in the survey ratings can be attributed to his well-crafted programs and the significant support he received from his close friends in the entertainment industry.

These connections have likely amplified his visibility and credibility, helping him resonate more effectively with the audience.

Other celebrities who endorse Kiko include Darren Espanto, Iza Calzado, Noel Ferrer, Robi Domingo, Enchong Dee, Mylene Dizon, Pia Magalona, Pinky Amador, Viktoria, Nikki Valdez, Pooh, Cookie Chua, Bayang Barrios, Roselle Monteverde of Regal Entertainment, Jim Paredes, Ogie Alcasid, Olive Isidro, Piolo Pascual, Anne Curtis, and Jona Viray.
