[I’m not surprised with Mayor Duterte’s rise in the surveys. Actually, I even think his numbers are low.] “May time lag kasi yan. The survey results are announced two weeks after the survey period so there is a time lag. I believe that Mayor Duterte has the support of more than 25 percent of the voting population,” he explained. According to Pimentel, more and more people are flocking to Duterte because he has been consistent with his anti-crime and corruption platform. “He is very consistent with his message, the all-out war against crime, drugs, and corruption, and this is the message which is the call of the times.  According to our voters, they agree with such a priority and they believe that Mayor Duterte has the political will, has the leadership to do what he says he will do,” he said. “So he has the credibility. Hindi kami nagtataka. So we are very, very happy with the survey results and we are confident of winning the elections.” <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/koko-pimentel-not-surprised-by-dutertes-rise/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
