MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Come to think of it, the 2019 Philippine Senatorial elections are not that far away. So left and right, there have been surveys conducted to feel the voter pulse on who they think should be elected to the Upper Chamber.

But alas, two recent surveys showed — or shall we say, didn’t show Bam Aquino’s name among the Magic 12 chosen by survey respondents.

Reacting to the surveys, Aquino said these are fake. “There is no way I didn’t make it to the Magic 12, and more so that I was at the bottom of the list among incumbent senators.”

The cousin of former President NoyNoy Aquino appealed to Rappler and Inquirer to conduct their own poll.

”I’m sure a Rappler or Inquirer poll would show me at the top of the Magic 12,” Aquino told The Adobo Chronicles.
