MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Former Senator Bongbong Marcos has been registering a significant lead for the presidential race among all scientific polling agencies. It has not come as a surprise that the son of the late great president also leads in street surveys and in the 7-Eleven Speak Cup poll.

But a new poll now shows that Vice President Leni Robredo has finally overtaken Marcos. As reported by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Robredo’s traction is coming from anecdotal evidence, popularly known in the Philippines as ”Marites” and ”tsismis” (gossip).
