God spare the queen

IT is all too obvious in the surveys. The war of attrition sponsored by top Aquino people against Mr. Binay is hurting Mr. Binay slightly and hurting the chosen presidential candidate of Mr. Aquino’s coalition – Mar Roxas – even more.

From their unbeatable highs, Mr. Binay’s numbers have dropped, but he remains competitive. Mr. Roxas’ numbers have remained flat and those numbers, this is the long and short version of it, are not even enough to make him third in the presidential race. In some polls, Bibi-lite, Davao City Mayor Duterte is even polling better than the Chosen One.
