SURVEY firms Pulse Asia, OCTA Research and PUBLiCUS maintained that pre-election survey results are reliable in predicting public sentiment as can be shown by the results of the unofficial tally of votes.

As of writing, 98.27 percent of election returns were reflected in the Comelec Transparency Server with presumptive president Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. leading the race after receiving more than 31 million votes, or around 58 percent of the total votes. Presumptive vice president Sara Duterte-Carpio received 31.5 million votes, or 61 percent of the total votes.
