Survey firms owned by Aquino relatives, allies

A case of Kamag-anak Incorporated is now tagged behind the positive surveys showing Presidential candidate Sen. Benigno Noynoy Aquino leading the race.

Kamag-anak incorporated was a taunt referring to former president Corazon Aquino’s advisers and relatives occupying key government positions.

According to Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) senatorial candidate Francisco Kit Tatad in reports, relatives and close associates of Liberal Party (LP) presidential candidate “Noynoy” Aquino are directing behind the scenes the surveys being conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) and Pulse Asia.

Philippine Star bared that Tatad cited research paper and documents from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), showing members of the Aquino clan and former associates of the late President Corazon Aquino as directors and stockholders of SWS and Pulse Asia.

Among those named in the SEC documents and research papers were Rafael Cojuangco Lopa and Antonio “Tonyboy” Cojuangco.

Lopa was director and president of Pulse Asia until last year when he resigned to camouflage the firm’s support for Aquino’s bid for the presidency. Cojuangco on the other hand bankrolled the setting up of Pulse Asia in 1990.

Tatad also said it is unusual that former Public Works secretary Jose de Jesus (under the Aquino administration) is an incorporator and director in both Pulse Asia and the SWS.

“This suggests that there was a plan from the beginning by the Aquinos to control public opinion polling in the country,” Tatad said. - PIA

non-issue.

full disclosure na man ang mga aquino and cojuangco families sauna pa about their interests sa mga survey firms.

Yah its true as reported by newspapers, national televisions in the country

It doesnt matter and this is a non issue... Everybody knows that Noynoy is really the strongest among the other candidates.... surveys are actually just there to mind set people..

so that shows why Ngoy ngoy este Noy noy is topping the sws and pulse asia surveys....how sad...

Bwahaha! This is what I love about democracy and elections...

Survey results simply give you statistics, but in choosing a good candidate this does not matter.

Correct. But for their own selfish reasons, some people (or groups) wait for survey results in order to declare their support for the winning candidates. Sad but true. (Just as it is sad but true that if they are proved to have indeed voted for the winners, they will have their just rewards...)

murag di na kapugngan ang victory ni Noynoy mao nga sorry nalang

Survey says UK is in for a hung parliament. Results? We are a hung parliament. Enough said!

Noynoy started at 60% and will end in around 40%. Surveys upon surveys have resulted in him always at the top. Even from surveys paid for by his opponents. Pasanginlan na pud nang tig-survey. Ang ngiwit ngiwit bisan unsaon pa.
