Fifty-one per cent of the 506 respondents will vote Baste Duterte for mayor if elections were held today while only 14.2% will vote for lawyer and former three-term 3rd district Representative Ruy Elias Lopez.
Baste was elected Vice Mayor, unopposed, in 2019. He filed his certificate of candidacy for reelection as Vice Mayor, again unopposed, in October but withdrew to run for mayor as substitute to his elder sister, Sara, who withdrew from the mayoralty race to run for Vice President.
Baste is also the choice of all age groups – 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and 65 and older.

For 1st district Representative. Results from the Ateneo de Davao University’s BlueVote 2022 in-campus survey, March 2022.
At the rally in Digos City for Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Francis Pangilinan on Thursday, Maglana wore a pink shirt printed with DDS or “Davao’s Dynasty Slayers.”
The original “DDS” meant the “Davao Death Squad,” the group blamed for summary executions in the city when President Duterte was its long-time mayor.
Diehard supporters of Duterte changed the meaning of DDS in 2015 when he was under heavy fire for his alleged involvement in the DDS killings in the run-up to the May 2016 Presidential elections.

She is the choice of 83.3 % of age group 65 and above against Pulong’s 0 %; 56 % of age group 55-64 against Pulong’s 8 %; 42.1 % of age group 18-24 against Pulong’s 30.8 %; and 41 % of age group 45-54 against Pulong’s 28.2 %.
