By request, I did an informal survey among people in the neighborhood while I was out on my afternoon walk. Yes, nang-abala ako ng tao! Ang shy ko pa naman!

I always ask the same line of questions (“Pwede po magtanong? Survey lang po: sino po ang iboboto ninyong presidente?” If they hesitate, I follow up with “Ok lang po kung wala pa”) People listed on the same line were asked as a group. Here are my totally unscientific, anecdotal, meaningless results, presented without further comment:

  • Aleng tagaprobinsya - Binay

  • 2 security guards sa subdivision - Poe, Poe

  • guard sa sanglaan - Binay or Roxas

  • guard sa kabilang subdivision - Undecided

  • 2 middle-aged women - Binay, Roxas

  • Senior citizen taking a walk - Duterte

  • 3x Tricycle drivers, nakapila - Undecided, Undecided, Duterte

  • Fishball vendor and spouse - Poe, Poe

  • Mami vendor - Roxas

  • Guy on motorcycle nakatambay sa may ministop - Undecided

  • Security guard sa may ministop - Binay (di pa raw final)

  • 2 kahera sa Ministop - Undecided, Undecided

  • 2 Babae sa may street stand na may bentang chichiria, yosi, etc - Duterte, Undecided

  • Jeepney driver (nakapila) - Duterte

  • 2 Muslim women selling sa palengke - Duterte, Duterte

  • Guard sa katabing subdivision - Undecided

  • Total - 24

  • Undecided - 8

  • Duterte - 6

  • Poe - 4

  • Binay - 3.5

  • Roxas - 2.5

Panalo manok ko. See what I mean Roy? :)
Thanks for this. I owe you a beer next time Im there. Lol. Hanggg bilis ng survey!
Sample size looks representative. Undecided might not vote at all. Past elections say 65% turnout. About 1/3 wont vote. So tama, 8 sila dito sa napakagaling na effort ni Roy. So happy we have actual data among friends. :)
Do you know anyone surveyed(?) by PA or SWS?
Oh wow! Duterte has beaten Poe by a stunning 50% margin.
Malayo dun sa 59% prediction mo
Also, totally meaningless remember :p
Roy, tandaan mo nasa MM ka. My surveys included Visayas and Mindanao. However, MM will aslo go for Du30. At least may idea ka na sino ang malamang mananalo. Diba? Sarap ng feeling.
Ganyan din feeling ni miriam dati. :) tandaan, lamang ang undecided. tandaan, may machinery pang gagalaw. be vigilant for your candidate Gerard Dacudao
With a month to go, things wont change much. And historically 65% lang talaga turn out. Check this out. Total vote vs. the Voting Age Population. 65% lang talaga. http://www.idea.int/vt/countryview.cfm?CountryCode=PH
One of them (the 2nd lady dun sa street stand) asked me "Kayo po, sino po ang iboboto nyo?" "Wala pa po e" "Ang hirap po diba?" I could only nod and smile
That's a good sign. They're taking the decision seriously.
It's meaningless data :p I'm still more likely to believe the ones done by people who do surveys professionally
Professional? Lol. PA and SWS professional? My gosh.
I'm certain they are better at it than me!
Roy, the only difference between you and them is that they can pay many employees to do exactly what you did. But the truth is already out there. You yourself saw it. 38% was for Du30 in your homegrown survey. At isa pa. May seryosong problema, may conflict. Ang may ari ng SWS at PA ay Cojuanco at Mangahas na Tito ni Grace Poe! I'd rather believe you than believe PA and SWS!
Lol, ikaw bahala~ Magstart na lang ako sarili kong survey company
Roy, invest ako dyan! Seryoso! Ikaw pinaka matalino sa math na kilala ko! Lol
Sorry, di ka pwede maginvest. Baka sabihin biased kami :p
Good point. Lol. Pero I am not an Aquino nor a Romualdez. Bahala sila sa buhay nila.
