ROXAS TOPS UNIVERSITY POLLS
Liberal Party vice presidential candidate Sen. Mar Roxas emerges as the clear choice of most Filipino youth as shown by recent surveys held in various universities throughout the country.
Roxas consistently secured two-digit leads over other vice presidential candidates in student surveys conducted by various school and youth organizations. Some student surveys are held in University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman, Quezon City; the Centro Escolar University (CEU) in Malolos, Bulacan; the Holy Angels University in Pampanga; the Catanduanes College in Virac, Catanduanes; the Negros Oriental State University in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental; and the University of Mindanao in Davao City.
In UP Diliman, a survey there gave Roxas 4,582 votes or 40% in the survey conducted during the period December 8 to 11, 2009. The closest to Roxas’ UP Diliman rating was Sen. Loren Legarda (NP-NPC) who got a mere 13% followed by Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay (UNO-PMP), who got 12%.
The huge positive response to Aquino’s and Roxas’ campaign platform of anti-corruption was also reflected in another survey in January 15, 2010 in CEU-Malolos, where Roxas got a high 56% rating followed by Legarda and Binay who tied at 13%.
Sixty-four percent (64%) or 3,688 of Holy Angels University students in Pampanga chose Roxas in a January 13 survey. Legarda only got 23% and Binay 8%.
In Catanduanes College in Virac Catanduanes, a survey conducted last January 22 gave Roxas a 44.17% rating (or 446 votes) while Legarda got 23.99% and Binay, 16.14%.
In Negros Oriental State University, some 1,684 students or a rating of 49.17% picked Roxas in the survey done during the period December 7 to 11, 2009. Legarda got 22.68% and Binay, 15.5%. Lakas-Kampi-NUCD vice presidential candidate Edu Manzano’s name popped up with a rating of 12.65%.
In mock polls conducted by the University of Mindanao student government from January 22 to 25, a whopping 46.6% of students picked Roxas. Meanwhile, 14.36% picked Binay and 9.2% picked Loren.
The 52-year old Roxas gave up his presidential bid in September last year to give way to the public clamor for Aquino to run for President following the death of his mother, the late President Cory Aquino, which Roxas believed had opened long pent-up emotions by most Filipinos against the worsening incidence of corruption both in government and in private sector.
In the Senate, he authored the Quality and Affordable Medicines law (Republic Act No. 9502), which slashed by half essential medicines like anti-hypertensives, antibiotics, anti-diabetics, and others. The price of Amlodipine 5mg (Norvasc) has been reduced to P22.85 – the savings in a one-month period is equivalent to 25 kilos of rice.
Roxas, hailed as the “Father of the BPO and Call Center Industry,” played a key role in making the Philippines a prime destination for business process outsourcing investors. From a mere 2,000 jobs at the onset, the BPO industry now provides more than half a million jobs.

NOYNOY TOPS 'SWS' SURVEY

‘Noynoy’ tops SWS survey
One in 2 voters would pick Aquinos’ son for president
IF elections were held early September 2009, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino 3rd would be the top vote-getter, with one out of every two voters choosing him over the rest of the presidential aspirants.
According to a Special Survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) that was posted on the ABS-CBN News website on Sunday, Noynoy enjoyed an edge in vote-rich areas of Luzon, the country’s biggest group of islands.
The results of the survey showed that Noynoy obtained a 50-percent response from the 1,200 respondents from a preselected list of five names that also included erstwhile survey leaders Sen. Manuel “Manny” Villar Jr., former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Vice President Noli de Castro.
Statistically tied were Villar (14 percent), Estrada (13 percent) and Escudero (12 percent). De Castro was preferred by 7 percent of respondents.
The Special Survey was commissioned by a number of private individuals including some members of the business community.
A source from the Estrada camp told The Manila Times also on Sunday that they doubted if such rating would last until next year when scheduled presidential elections are held.
“[Sen. Aquino] may be high in the ratings now but as to sustaining it will be a major question,” the source said.
“The situation is that the survey was taken when Noynoy was very much in the news about him running or not in the elections. Naturally, his name will be recalled quickly, but come elections, it is a matter of platforms, not the spur-of-the-moment [recall],” the source added.
According to the ABS-CBN website, the survey was conducted September 5 to 6 in the National Capital Region (NCR, Metro Manila), Pangasinan province, Region 3 (Central Luzon) and Region 4-A (portions of Southern Tagalog).
Before the survey was conducted, presidential aspirant Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd had withdrawn from the race to Malacañang in the 2010 elections in favor of Noynoy, his Liberal Party colleague, and just days before Noynoy announced he would run for the presidency. Roxas backed out on September 1 while Noynoy announced his bid on September 9.
The survey had a margin of error of plus/minus 3 percent.
Although not a nationwide survey, the results were seen to give a good gauge of the competitiveness of the only son of late former President Corazon”Cory” Aquino and late former Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. vis-a-vis the early birds in the presidential race.
Political tacticians refer to the vote-rich corridor from Lingayen City in Pangasinan province to Lucena City in Quezon province as a good indicator of a candidate’s chances. These are mainly urban areas where television and radio play a big role in influencing the choices of voters.
The Special Survey also asked the respondents to choose their preferences from different lists of names.
From a list of four names—Aquino, Villar, Estrada and de Castro—meaning without Escu-dero, Noynoy got an even higher voter preference in the vote-rich areas of Luzon: Aquino, 55 percent; Villar, 17 percent; Estrada, 15 percent; de Castro, 8 percent; None, 2 percent; and Don’t know, 1 percent.
From a list of only three names—Aquino, Villar, de Castro—or without Escudero and Estrada, the results were: Aquino, 63 percent; Villar, 21 percent; de Castro, 9 percent; Estrada, 2 percent (volunteered Estrada’s name even if it was not on the list); Don’t know, 1 percent; and None, 3 percent.
Noynoy supposedly also topped an unreleased survey conducted last week by a known polling group.
The survey was lambasted by the ruling party Lakas-Kampi Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) also on Sunday.
During the weekly Balitaan sa Tinapayan news forum, the party’s deputy secretary-general, Reggie Velasco, said that surveys are not the sole bases for winning in the 2010 balloting.
He announced that Lakas-Kampi CMD would have chosen its standard-bearer by Wednesday.
Supposedly being considered to banner the administration party are de Castro, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro and Chairman Bayani Fernando of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.
