Antique Rep. Loren Legarda, former Public Works Secretary Mark Villar, and Taguig City-Pateros Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano shared the second to fourth places. Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri and Sorsogon Governor Francis “Chiz” Escudero placed fifth to seventh.
Some netizens were in disbelief over Padilla’s high survey rankings.
