2 Weeks with 2 Digits Lead; Does It Mean Noynoy is 2 Steps Away from Malacanang

The recent survey of Social Weather Station and Business World showed that the presidential bet of the Liberal Party could be the next President of the Philippines. The 2 digit lead is a good sign that his closest rival will be finding a very difficult chance to win the highest position in the land. The Liberal party knows that they have to maintain and increase the lead to make it sure that Senator Noynoy Aquino will win a landslide victory come May 10, 2010 elections. The Nationalista Party on the other hand, is trying to cope up and intensified its tri-media campaign. They have launched a new ad featuring his mother and Villar's camp lambasts the media for not reporting fairly.

Political analysts believes that the issues haunting Villar affects his stat in the survey. If these remained unanswered, these will definitely affect the decision of the voters.




The endorsement of Senator Chiz Escudero could also become a major factor in Senator Aquino's victory in the presidential race. According to surveys, any endorsement coming from Senator Escudero will bring more votes to the candidate. This is aside from the endorsement of Governor-Actress Vilma Santos-Recto. The defection of the Governor Joey Salceda from the administration party is also considered as a major boost for Senator Aquino's candidacy. The Liberal Party is assured of a big number of votes from Bicol which is known as a block-voting region.

The last 2 weeks is very crucial to every candidate. All are trying to get media attention. A few weeks ago, Senator Richard Gordon wants to sue two leading poll agencies for including his name in the surveys thus affecting his campaign. Senator Jamby Madrigal will go on hunger strike once the Comelec did not act on her requests. Former President Joseph Estrada is accusing Senator Villar of influencing the PSE to approve the use of the shares from one of his real estate business.

Expect that the next days will be the worst battle ground between these presidential candidates.
