TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte – LAKAS-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) vice presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte refuses to be complacent about the potential results of the May 9 polls despite the UniTeam tandem’s posting of big voter preference figures in the latest OCTA Research survey results.
The UniTeam tandem is composed of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) standard-bearer Bongbong Marcos and his running mate, Lakas-CMD and regional party Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) Chairperson Duterte.
“Usually naman hindi indicative ang survey sa pagpanalo ng isang tao pero nagpapasalamat pa rin kami sa trust and confidence ng marami sa ating mga kababayan at sa UniTeam namin ni Bongbong Marcos at Sara Duterte,” Duterte told reporters in an ambush interview Thursday night after UniTeam’s Miting de Avance here.
Duterte was asked about the latest OCTA Research survey results.
Instead of being lax and complacent Duterte said she and Marcos have decided to prep themselves for any eventuality.
“Wala pang kasiguraduhan lahat, hindi natin alam ano mangyayari. Pinaghahandaan namin lahat ng puwedeng mangyari. Ipinagdarasal namin sa Diyos ang resulta at ipagpapatuloy namin ang pagbantay sa boto,” Duterte said.
The protection of votes has been the call of UniTeam as of late, especially Marcos, who has said that anything can happen in the polls if people let their guard down.
The results of the survey, which was carried out from April 22 to 25, showed Marcos with a voter preference rate of 58 percent, while Duterte had 56 percent.
Marcos’s closest rival had a voter preference of 25 percent, while the second-placed candidate to Duterte had 22 percent
