Snippet:
Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s road to the presidency did not start with an early survey lead. It was a subsequent commanding surge that delivered him to Malacañang. In the early surveys of 2020 and early 2021, his running mate, Sara Duterte, was actually the undisputed front-runner for the presidency.
