MANILA, Philippines - Administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro, who is rating poorly in surveys of presidential candidates
, has dismissed opinion polls as mere guides that don’t reflect the choice of the people.
“We are making excellent progress,” Teodoro said when asked whether he was disturbed by the strong lead of rivals Senators Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and Manny Villar, and former President Joseph Estrada.
“Voting results and not poll surveys will determine the victors in next year’s presidential race,” said the former defense chief, stressing that the election is four months away and a lot of things could happen.
Barely a month after being named by the Lakas-Kampi-CMD as its standard-bearer, Teodoro’s rating has climbed to five percent in the latest Pulse Asia survey, up by three percentage points from the previous survey in October.
Zambales Rep. Mitos Magsaysay, spokesperson for Teodoro, said she is confident of Teodoro’s chances in 2010.
