Reelectionist Senators Francis Tolentino and Manuel “Lito” Lapid, physician Willie Ong, and Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. are also statistically included in the Magic 12 despite placing 13th to 16th.
Other figures that had a double-digit voting preference were former senators Gregorio Honasan and Richard Gordon, Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte, former senators Francis Pangilinan and Franklin Drilon, entertainer Willie Revillame, Makati City Mayor Mar-Len Abigail Binay, Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, broadcaster and former vice president Manuel “Noli” de Castro, Leyte 4th District Rep.

In a statement, Tulfo said that he is grateful for the overwhelming support and trust given to him in the OCTA survey, noting that he was “humbled” to witness a high level of confidence in his capacity to serve.
However, he said he will continue to focus on his role as the representative of the ACT-CIS party-list.
“My commitment to advocating for the interests and well-being of the Filipino people remains unwavering through my work in the House of Representatives. I assure you that I will continue to dedicate myself tirelessly to addressing the critical issues facing our nation and upholding the principles of good governance and public service,” Tulfo said.
Tulfo also led in the Pulse Asia senatorial survey conducted from March 6 to 10, 2024, where 57.1 percent said that they would vote for him in 2025.
The survey had 1,200 respondents with a national margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent.
