There is no sufficient evidence to support claims that the tandem of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte have won by a “landslide” on the first day of absentee voting in Hong Kong on April 10, 2022.
A video posted on the YouTube channel of Mr. Kabibi Vlogs claimed 85 percent those who cast their vote at the Philippine consulate that day backed the Marcos-Duterte tandem, citing an “exit poll” that they supposedly conducted.
In a Twitter post on April 11, 2022, Commission on Elections Spokesperson James Jimenez warned the public against social media posts containing alleged voting results.
“As a general rule, unless na ang naglabas ng exit poll ay isang kilala at reputable na survey firm, hindi ito reliable. Lalo na sa social media, madali gumawa ng official-looking forms or graphics na mukhang legit,” he said.
“An ‘exit poll’ is not the official tally of votes cast in the 2022 national and local elections. Tandaan din na bibilangin lang ang mga boto ng overseas voting on May 9, AFTER the close of polls,” he added.
