Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino continues to lead the Presidential survey. In a survey conducted by the Social Weather Station commissioned by the BusinessWorld, Noynoy Aquino got the nod of 42% of the respondents. On second place is still Senator Manuel “Manny” Villar with 35%. In the current survey, Villar cuts Noynoy’s lead from 11% from the previous presidential survey to 7 percent.

On third place is former President Joseph Estrada with 13%, followed by Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro on fourth place with 4%. Tied on fifth and sixth place are Senator Richard Gordon and Bro. Eddie Villanueva with 2% each.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile on Monday read the report of the Senate Committee of the whole regarding the alleged C5 Road extension project controversy involving presidential aspirant Senator Manny Villar.

In the report, Senator Villar violated Section 15, Article VI of the constitution by intervening in the project for his own benefit. The Senate report seeks to censure the Senator for allegedly earning millions in the said project. Aside from censuring, the committee wanted Villar to return to the government the P6.22 billion his company allegedly “gained” through illegal means from the construction of the C-5 road extension.

Senator and presidential aspirant Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aguino III still tops the presidential race according to the survey conducted by the Social Weather Station (SWS) from December 27 to 28 last year.

Aquino tops all the 5 survey scenarios that was conducted during the test where the respondent’s were asked, “Sa mga sumusunod na pangalan sa listahang ito, sino po ang malamang ninyong iboboto bilang PRESIDENTE ng Pilipinas, kung ang eleksyon ay gaganapin ngayon?” (Among the names found on this list, who will you probably vote for as PRESIDENT of the Philippines, if elections were held now?).
