Senator Bong Go secures frontrunner status as campaign period closes, reaffirms faith in voters as he vows to protect Filipinos’ welfare

As the 2025 campaign period draws to a close, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the senatorial race based on numerous independent surveys, riding on a platform grounded in public service, and grassroots connection.

In a series of proclamation rallies and motorcades across the country, Go delivered a consistent message: the Duterte legacy must be protected, and the welfare of Filipinos most in need must remain at the center of public service. 

“Asahan n’yo po na ipagpapatuloy ko ang mga programang tunay na nakakatulong sa mahihirap. Sipag, malasakit, at more serbisyo ang alay ko sa mga Pilipino,” he added.

Go consistently ranking high in various nationwide surveys reinforces his resonance with the electorate. According to Pulse Asia’s latest nationwide survey conducted from April 20 to 24, Go garnered a commanding 62.2% voter preference. This follows his March 23 to 29 rating of 61.9%, which was already an increase from his February 2025 score of 58.1%.

Supporting these findings, Social Weather Stations (SWS), in a survey commissioned by Stratbase and conducted from April 11 to 15, placed Go at the top with 45%. His rise has been consistent over the past months—jumping from 32% in December 2024, to 37% in January, 38% in February, and 42% in March.

Publicus Asia Inc. also confirmed Go’s lead in its May 2025 Pahayag Senatus 2 survey, where he secured the solo top spot with 42%. He had previously led the Pahayag 2025 First Quarter national survey from March 15 to 20, topping both the aided awareness category at 45% and unaided awareness at 17%, reflecting strong name recall and genuine grassroots support.

OCTA Research’s April 20 to 24 Tugon ng Masa survey reaffirmed Senator Bong Go’s frontrunner status in the 2025 senatorial race, with a solid 56.8% voter preference. This followed a series of strong performances in previous OCTA surveys—64.2% from April 10 to 16, 64% in March, 62% in February, and 58% in January.

In the latest Pulso ng Pilipino nationwide poll conducted from April 28 to May 3, Go received 59%, up two points from his earlier 57% recorded from April 11 to 15. He also maintained a 100% awareness rating, underscoring his visibility and resonance with the electorate.

He also ranked first in Arkipelago Analytics’ April 26 to May 1 survey, earning the trust of 63% of likely voters. Tangere’s April 29 to May 3 survey showed similar results, placing Go at 62.8%.

With the campaign period now concluded, Go is expected to return to the Senate floor with a renewed mandate, carrying not just the endorsement of his political base but a clear message from the public: continue the work, stay grounded, and remain loyal to the people who placed their faith in him.

Emphasizing the importance of unity and continuity, he also urged voters to support his allies in the upcoming elections.

"Sa mga nalalabing araw bago ang halalan, patuloy ko ring hinihikayat ang ating mga mamamayan na suportahan ang aking mga kasamahan sa Duter-TEN senatorial slate upang masigurong maipagpatuloy natin ang mga magagandang pagbabagong nasimulan ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte," concluded Go.
