MANILA, Philippines – Compared to the rest of the country, there are more voters in President Rodrigo Duterte’s home region who are “truly interested” in the midterm elections.
Up to 91% of likely voters in Mindanao are “truly interested” in the 2019 polls, according to a Pulse Asia survey conducted from May 3-6.
It’s higher than the percentage of “truly interested” voters in the National Capital Region (77%), Balance Luzon (68%), and the Visayas (85%).
“Mindanao is hot,” said Pulse Asia research director Ana Tabunda.
Mindanao has also consistently showed solid support for Duterte in previous surveys.
Duterte rallied voters to support his handpicked candidates.
Among the candidates from Mindanao include reelectionist Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, former presidential aide Christopher “Bong” Go, former national police chief Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, and Maguindanao Representative Zajid Mangudadatu. – Rappler.com
