What makes Calabarzon critical is that Marcos dropped 14 points in this region, while Robredo jumped 28 points, making the two statistically tied at 38-37. PHVote PHVoteMarcos WeDecide READ:
LAGUNA, Philippines – Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. still leads in pre-election surveys by a big margin, but the latests showed his numbers dropping in Balance Luzon, and he responded to that by returning to Batangas and Laguna of the vote-rich region Calabarzon or Southern Tagalog.
On the other hand, Uniteam’s rally in Biñan, Laguna on Thursday, April 21 was Marcos’ third and Duterte’s fourth trip there. Batangas, 7th most vote rich province with 1.8 million, was won by Robredo in 2016. The Vice President beat Marcos in Batangas by a margin of more than 250,000 votes – a big win if you look at Robredo’s final margin over Marcos, which was just 263,473 votes., Batangas Governor Mandanas could not pledge how he can help reverse Marcos’ fate in his province and by how much. Instead, Mandanas echoed the tandem’s song of unity.
“We have to realize the President is wearing two hats, the president of the nation and the chairman of PDP-Laban, so there’s balancing of interests, but we see he’s very supportive of his party,” said Matibag.How relevant is Calabarzon? A statistical tie in this region is an “encouraging sign” for Robredo,, spokesperson for former vice president Jejomar Binay, speaking from their experience of pulling off a come-from-behind victory to defeat the frontrunner Mar Roxas in 2010.
After all, Luzon, including Metro Manila, has 36.6 million voters, or more than half of the total 65.7 million registered Filipino voters for 2022.
