Pulse Asia Research Inc. has issued a disclaimer regarding a circulating survey that falsely claims candidate Ceniza is leading over incumbent Noe Butchoy Taojo in Davao de Oro. The organization clarified that it did not conduct any such survey in the province.
The spurious survey, which has been shared on social media platforms, alleges that Ceniza holds a significant lead over Taojo in the upcoming elections. Pulse Asia emphasized that it has not conducted any electoral surveys in Davao de Oro and disavows any association with the results being circulated.
The dissemination of fabricated survey results is part of a broader trend of misinformation affecting the electoral landscape. Similar instances have occurred in other regions, prompting polling organizations to issue statements denying involvement in unauthorized surveys.
As the May 2025 elections approach, Pulse Asia urges the public to rely only on verified and officially released survey data. The organization continues to provide nationwide surveys, such as the April 2025 Nationwide Survey on the May 2025 Elections, which offer insights into voter preferences and public opinion on a broader scale.
Pulse Asia encourages voters and media outlets to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of survey information, especially when it pertains to specific localities. The organization remains committed to delivering accurate and impartial data to inform the public discourse leading up to the elections.
