Duterte arrives in Tag.B

Just had this image of the Duterte rally sent to me in Tag happening now.
No!!! I did not go.

He's obviously a popular chap........................for the time being

Duterte is way out in front as far as the opinion polls are concerned with Grace Poe running second. Binay and Roxas are nowhere.

I suppose it depends who's paying the most.

If that were true, the poll ordering would be completely the opposite to what it actually is. The masses are fed-up with "patronage politics", Manila-centric spending and widespread corruption by government employees and elected representatives - which is all that Binay and Roxas have on offer.

Wow an animated pic ...or possiblt=y sleep deprivation

Are you reading the poll from the Mindanoa times

Isn't that you standing next to the bloke in a baseball cap?

Nope. I saw it some seven days ago and was published by Rappler (or it may have been the Manila Bulletin). The poll itself, however, was not conducted on just one island but across the country as a whole.

Are you trying to get your message totals up Markham, double posting and all ?

No but the geezer holding the small blue bag with 1/2 kilo of dried fish is my neighbour..
If you dont believe me,you can ask him.

Manny Villar was in a similar position n 2010.

You said Duterte ' is way out in front as far as the opinion polls are concerned'.
According to Rappler 3 days ago 'Senator Grace Poe continued to lead other presidential candidates in the latest Pulse Asia Research, Incorporated survey conducted from March 12 to 18.'
I don't have a Fakebook account but i know there has been false surveys posted in Duterte's favour.

Anyway, as a foreigner i do not get involved in Philippine politics.

Always the best policy.

I'm living here in Mindanao.
His support is reported to be around 50%

The key question IMHO is how the vote gets split in Luzon.
Mindanao and Visayas voting number is not so far from Luzon voting number.
North Luzon appears to support DU30

Whichever way it goes it's going to tough to predict.

There are always 'false' surveys.

Ahem...

I guess if Polls were accurate then the UK Labour party would be in power right now.

That poll wasn't "inaccurate"; it never existed!

Also, be wary of photographs of crowds at rallies. They are easy to Photoshop and they often are. A professional photographer friend of mine in Cagayan de Oro, Elson Elizaga, pointed out some examples to me just a couple of days ago, including one of a Roxas rally - he supports Roxas, but he included it to show how careful one must be.

Not this Pic...It was a snap shot from a video taken from a drone and it was posted to me as the event was happening.

I thought Bohol had a new skysrcraper
