Presidential candidate and Manila mayor Isko Moreno slammed the release of pre-election surveys and called it a form of ‘mind conditioning’.
Moreno’s camp also called the surveys ‘outdated’.
“The field work of their research was done mid-February. That’s a month old. A lot of events have happened since,” Lito Banayo, Moreno’s campaign manager said.

“Though we cannot divulge our internal tracking, those numbers from Pulse Asia are outdated,” he said.
Moreno said the surveys show the opposite of the positive reception he gets on the ground.
“Nakita niyo pagbaba ng airport ang daming tao, may nagiwan pa ng sinaing niya. This is the opposite of the numbers that they are showing to mind condition the people,” he said.
