The facts:
We searched for surveys that congressional candidate Atty. Keith may have commissioned but found none on his page or personal account. We found one informal survey shared by Shamag Shi Benguet, results which came out on January 24, 2021.
In this survey, Benguet caretaker Eric Yap got the nod of 64.2% of the people who partook in the survey. Itogon Mayor Victorio Palangdan came in second obtaining 22.5%.
Former governor Cresencio Pacalso, who withdrew his candidacy last year, took the third spot with 11%. Thorsson Keith and Samson Paran got 1.7% and 0.6%, respectively.
The survey was conducted by Sigma Statistical Research Consultancy Baguio-Benguet Statistician for hire with their survey tool posted last November 2019 where respondents could vote using their email account.
