Panelo wants ban on pre-election surveys
Former chief presidential legal counsel Salvador Panelo has sought the prohibition of pre-election surveys during the campaign period.
Expressing dismay over the apparent “mind-conditioning” effect of the results of pre-election surveys, Panelo said if he gets elected to the Senate, he would push for a measure that would stop this “bad method”.
“Kapag ako ang naging senador, palagay ko, iba-ban ko na ang survey na iyan kasi nga, unang-una, ‘pag naglagay ka ng survey diyan, it creates the impression na forever ganiyan na iyan (If I become senator, perhaps, I will ban such surveys because if you conduct a survey, it creates an impression that lasts forever).

He also cast doubt on the validity of the surveys because of the questionable identities of the respondents.
