Senator Chiz Escudero has formally requested survey firms to exclude his name in any future pre-election preference surveys for higher office in 2028.
As Senator Escudero has repeatedly and unequivocally stated, he harbors no intention of seeking a higher elective post in the upcoming election cycle. His presence on prospective candidate lists for President or Vice President may not only fuel a misleading public narrative but also impact polling accuracy.
Excluding his name is a necessary measure to ensure that survey results accurately reflect actual or highly probable candidacies, thereby upholding the interests of both the public and the polling firms’ research credibility.
Senator Escudero’s unwavering focus remains solely on his legislative mandate on the Senate floor: prioritizing the passage of critical economic legislation, championing robust support for MSMEs, and decisively equipping our farmers and workforce to navigate the impending global financial strain.
