Junk ‘survey mentality’ in polls, Lacson urges voters

The latest Laylo survey showed that independent presidential candidate Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson and his Vice Presidential bet Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III have up to 57 percent in Class E or the “masa” class.

The survey also showed that Lacson and Sotto got 45 percent in urban areas and 42 percent in rural areas; 43 percent among both male and female voters; 43 percent among those aged 18-34, 42 percent among those aged 35-54, and 45 percent among those aged 55 and up.

 Inspired by the survey results, Lacson on Thursday urged all Filipino voters to junk the “survey mentality” in voting and instead pick candidates whom they think are most competent and qualified to lead the nation.
