'Duterte blessing can influence presidential race'

A DATA science expert believes that an endorsement from President Rodrigo Duterte could influence the people's choice of presidential candidate in the May elections.

"I would think that there would be voters who would place a lot of value in President Duterte's endorsement and switch votes," Dr. David Yap, chief data scientist of Publicus Asia, the opinion survey firm behind the Pahayag Election Survey series, said.
