Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III topped a "Gulp cup" survey conducted by convenience store 7-Eleven, which measures votes on the number of Gulp cups sold per store.
Philippine Seven Corp., licensee of 7-Eleven stores in the country, recently conducted a "Gulp cup" survey in its 450 branches nationwide. Here, customers were asked to buy 16-ounce Gulp cups to show their political preferences.
Each cup was designed with "likenesses and official colors" of the presidential candidates. A barcode is assigned to each bet, with votes entered automatically upon purchase.
"Our strong network of over 450 stores caters to Filipinos from all walks of life and may offer a good indication of how the real elections will turn out," Jose Victor Paterno, president and chief executive officer of Philippine Seven Corp., said in a statement.
The unique survey showed Aquino with a landslide victory of 87,959 votes. He was followed by his cousin, Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro who got 37,226 votes.
Coming in at third place is Nacionalista Party standard bearer Manuel "Manny" Villar Jr. with 32,727 votes, followed by Bagong Bayan's Richard "Dick" Gordon (26,010 votes) and former president Joseph "Erap" Estrada (14,968 votes).
A total of 14,944 people, meanwhile, opted not to have a candidate.
