Manny Villar slips, Noynoy widens lead in new Pulse Asia poll
Brought to you by saturated advertising, consumer fatigued on basura ads, call it whatever, but the Manny ads has been soooo omni-present it could even be seen on the moon and at the space station. That’s what I was told. Maniwala kayo because I did. Result? Over-exposure, nakita lahat nung defects. And it was not just the product, the producers of those ads themselves who we know have copied their ads. Ouch! They should all be fired for making Manny Villar look bad.
So it was not a surprise that the last SWS pre-election survey conducted on March 19-22 showed Benigno Aquino with 37% and Villar getting 28%. In that survey, Manny Villar lost 6 percentage points.
With the barrage of new allegations of “you’re not really poor Manny“, people must have been thinking twice now about Manny Villar. Sort of asking for sympathy, not even his call for an apology worked in his favor for the latest Pulse Asia survey, Senator Noynoy Aquino widened his gap with Senator Manny Villar whose ratings fell by 4 percentage less than two months before the May 10 elections. This survey was conducted from March 21 to 28.
Here’s a recap:

“Villarroyo” or just plain “Arroyo?”
Doubt in Manny Villar’s leadership (especially the moral and ethical qualities of a leader) may have been the cause of his descent in the surveys. His hunger (or lust) for the Presidency is apparent in his campaign.
A glimpse of what he said in the past may somehow explain the NEED for him to become President. Manny, who likes looking back in the past, answered this when he was asked in August 1995:
(Emphasis mine.)
…and Manny also admitted Re: Mix of business and politics, July 2008:
Moreover…
To a “doubting Thomas” like I am, I believe he’ll continue to mix business and politics knowing for a fact he very well knows how to woo the common man (the “mahihirap” majority) to submission.
However, this reading (between Manny’s lines) will happen with a President Manuel B. Villar, Jr. without regard to the MORAL and ETHICAL issues that were, are, and will be involved during his incumbency.
Mix of business and politics. No morals, no ethics. Villarroyo?
No. He’s also an “Arroyo,” no doubt!
i really believe that it’s the C5 and the honesty behind it. everything else were just a substantiation of what C5 meant – dishonesty, bad governance, use of influence and all.
though i read that he claimed that it was in fact his trying to avoid the C5 topic.
Medyo nagdadalawang isip ako kay noynoy kasi sabi niya sa platform niya gagawin niyang 12 years yung grade school to high school instead of 10 years lang ngayon (6 years grade school, 4 years high school). Sakit kaya sa bulsa nun. Anong palagay niyo dun?
