MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s administration slate dominated the recent senatorial survey from Pulse Asia. 

The survey was taken from September 6 to 13, days before Marcos announced the “Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas" alliance. 

Here are the prospective hopefuls that Pulse Asia found could make the magic 12: 

  1. Erwin Tulfo (60.8%)
  2. Ben Tulfo (49.6%) 
  3. Vicente Sotto (48.0%)
  4. Pia Cayetano (41.3%)
  5. Bong Go (40.3%)
  6. Rodrigo Duterte (38.0%)
  7. Abby Binay (37.5%) 
  8. Ramon Revilla (35.9%)
  9. Panfilo Lacson (35.5%)   
  10. Manny Pacquiao (31.9%)
  11. Imee Marcos (29.8%)  
  12. Bato dela Rosa (26.2%)  
  13. Lito Lapid (24.7%) 

The Tulfo brothers, Sotto, Cayetano, Binay, Revilla, Lacson, Pacquiao, Imee and Lapid are all in the president’s slate. 

Apart from Erwin, everyone else in the top could move up or down several places, allowing 13 people to have a chance to make the top 12.

The only senatorial aspirants in the president's slate who did not make Pulse Asia’s magic 12 include Rep. Camille Villar, Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. and Sen. Francis Tolentino. 

However, these three are far from being unknown, as they still made the top 30. 

While Imee begged off from being part of her brother's slate, the president said she still had the alliance’s support.  

The rest of the slate in Pulse Asia's survey were notable allies of the previous adminsitration, with former president Rodrigo Duterte himself ranking fourth to ninth. Go and Dela Rosa are staunch allies of Duterte, well into Marcos' term.
