MANILA (Mindanao Examiner / Apr. 22, 2013) – United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) senatorial bet San Juan City Rep. JV Ejercito Estrada said he feels fortunate to remain in the top 10 preferred senatorial candidates in the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey despite efforts to undermine his credibility and the pull-out of his television ads due to financial reasons.
The April 2013 Pre-Election Survey on voters’ Senatorial Preferences fielded from April 13-15 showed that Ejercito Estrada ranked 7-8. He was favored by 43% of survey respondents.
“The survey period coincided with the time when my political advertisements went off air because of financial reasons. I am truly lucky to be included in the top 12 preferred senatorial candidates in the latest SWS survey despite the problems UNA encountered in previous days,” Ejercito Estrada said.
He said the results of the latest SWS survey also proved that despite efforts to discredit him, the public is not easily swayed by lies spread by desperate people engaged in dirty politics.
“I am grateful for the continuous support of those who believe in my sincerity and capability to serve the Filipino people,” he said.
