WITH less than a month before the midterm elections, Manila Mayor Joseph 'Erap' Estrada continues to lead his opponents by a wide margin and will likely win his third and last term, a non-commissioned survey in April said.

The Media Trend Setter (MDT) showed that if the elections for mayor of Manila were to be held today, Estrada would be the clear winner as he would get 46.3 percent of the votes against his closest rival, former Manila vice mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso, 31 percent with former Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim in third at 9.6 percent.
