If the elections were held today, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto would secure a landslide victory in the 2028 national and local polls, according to the latest survey released by research firm Tangere Advertising and Marketing Firm.
Based on the survey conducted from September 10 to 13, 2025, among 2,000 respondents with a ±2.0% margin of error, Sotto topped the senatorial race with a commanding 67% voter preference.
He was followed by former Senator Grace Poe in second place with 52%, despite being linked to issues of questionable budget insertions in the 2025 national budget. Senator Raffy Tulfo landed in third with 47%.
Other names expected to contend in the 2028 senatorial race include:
- Senator Loren Legarda
- Senator Robinhood Padilla
- Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano
- Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte
- Senator Chiz Escudero
- Broadcast Journalist Ben Tulfo
- DSWD Sec. Rex Gatchalian
- Senate Deputy Majority Leader JV Ejercito
- Akbayan Party-list Rep. Chel Diokno
- Former Senator Manny Pacquiao
- DepEd Sec. Sonny Angara
- Former COA Commissioner Heidi Mendoza
Though the 2028 elections remain years away, the survey results have already stirred speculation, especially amid heated corruption issues tied to anomalous flood control projects.
