2028 polls survey: Sara-Robin 12 points ahead of Leni-Bam tandem — OCTA
A recent OCTA Research survey on a hypothetical 2028 presidential election matchup in the Philippines shows the tandem of Vice President Sara Duterte and Sen. Robin Padilla leading the pairing of former Mayor Leni Robredo and former Sen. Bam Aquino by 12 percentage points. The findings suggest potential frontrunners in the country's next electoral contest.
The hypothetical tandem of Vice President Sara Duterte and Sen. Robin Padilla has opened a 12-point lead over the pairing of former Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo and former Sen. Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV in a "Tugon ng Masa Survey" conducted by OCTA Research for the second quarter of 2026. According to the survey, the Duterte-Padilla tandem garnered 48 percent of the votes, while the Robredo-Aquino tandem received 36 percent. This survey, conducted months ahead of the 2028 elections, provides an early snapshot of the Philippine political landscape and potential voter preferences. The strong showing by the Vice President and the senator suggests their continued influence and potential appeal to a significant portion of the electorate. Meanwhile, the former mayor and senator, who have also been prominent political figures, face the challenge of mobilizing their support base to close the gap in future surveys. The results highlight the dynamic nature of Philippine politics and the factors that may shape the upcoming electoral contest.
