Pulse Asia January 2019 survey says senatorial candidate Bong Go would be in the winning circle if elections were held at this time.
MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte’s closest aide and
senatorial candidate Bong Go would be in the winning circle if elections
were held at this time, according to the Pulse Asia January 2019
survey.
Go jumped to the 6th-12th spot, with 44.7% of respondents choosing him 4 months before the May 2019 elections. This was a huge leap from Go’s ratings in the December 2018 survey, where he ranked 14th-16th, with nearly 30% naming him among their choices.
The rise of Duterte’s right-hand man came after the deluge of advertisements showing presidential endorsement.
Based on the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism’s tracking, Go spent P422 million in political ads even before the campaign period started.
Go's ad is higher than his declared net worth of only P12.85 million and cash on hand or in bank of only at P3.9 million combined as of December 2017.
