The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo is optimistic that she can still win in the May 9 polls despite the results of the recent Pulse Asia survey.
In the latest survey, presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos maintained his lead with 56% while Robredo placed at distant second with 23%.

Robredo’s spokesperson Barry Gutierrez said that the latest Pulse Asia survey confirms Robredo’s upward trajectory — adding that the house-to-house campaign has shown how many people are now supporting the Vice President.
“The latest Pulse survey conducted last April further confirms Vice President Leni Robredo’s upward trajectory and momentum. The remaining weeks of the campaign have seen intensified efforts at house-to-house, person to person campaigning by thousands of volunteers, which we believe will translate to support on election day,” Gutierrez said in a statement.
“This has truly become a people’s campaign, a grassroots movement of Filipinos from all walks of life and from all over the Philippines. We trust that this people’s campaign will win the day on May 9,” he added.

The spokesperson said that the last survey did not capture the last rally of Robredo in Metro Manila attended by some 400,000 supporters.
“Her numbers remain encouraging, even if the survey does not yet capture the series of massive rallies from mid April onwards, including the record breaking 400k+ Pasay Rally on April 23,” he added.
