Senatorial aspirant and Taguig City Rep. Alan Peter Cayetano has vowed to continue his “eco-friendly, lead-by-example” campaign following his high ranking in the latest survey on senatorial preferences by Pulse Asia.
“When we mounted our eco-friendly, lead-by-example campaign in February, we knew we would face major challenges. In the sea of flyers and posters, our name would not be seen among the candidates in every corner of the country,” Cayetano said in a statement Thursday.
He made the statement after the Pulse Asia released April 6 its March 2022 survey results which showed Cayetano ranking second to fifth among all senatorial candidates.
The survey showed Cayetano getting 56.4 percent of votes from participants, which is a 1.4 increase from Pulse Asia’s February 2022 survey. The former Speaker also has an awareness of 99 percent among voters despite having no posters or tarpaulins and not mounting motorcades.
Cayetano maintained he still decided to continue the new style of campaigning because he did not want to add to the election-related waste that is generated every three years.
He said “ the survey results have been consistent in showing that the people appreciate and support our commitment to our cause.”
Cayetano also thanked his supporters for helping him in his campaign, volunteering to mount bike caravans and coastal clean-ups that further pushed his eco-friendly advocacy.
According to Pulse Asia, the survey fieldwork was conducted from March 17 – 21, 2022 using face-to-face interviews. Maricel V. Cruz
