PILI, Camarines Sur — How confident are you that you will get enough votes in Camarines Sur?
This was the question posed to the administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidates during a campaign rally in Camarines Sur on Friday.
Camarines Sur is part of the Bicol province — a known bailiwick of former Vice President Leni Robredo, who lost to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos in the 2022 presidential election.
“Yong three, ‘yong two years ago, ‘yong resulta ng two years ago iba ‘yong sinasabi ng survey ngayon. The survey is now, the last few days, is a snapshot of that day, it could not say that it could be the result in May 12 or it is the same result in 2022,” said former Senate President and reelectionist Vicente Sotto III in a press conference.
“So, iba, pero ang nakikita namin, ang nakakarating sa akin na survey, maayos ang standing ng administration candidates dito,” he added.

Meanwhile, ACT-CIS Representative and former Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo said there was a need to look past the political colors of certain areas and just focused on the need to help Filipinos.
“Do not look at the political color of that area because kapag tiningnan mo kasi dilawan ‘yan, pinklawan ‘yan, yari ka. Huwag nating tulungan ‘yan kasi kay ganito ‘yan, kay gano’n,” said Tulfo.
“No, all the more that you have to help to show them na Pilipino ito, what’s the difference? Bicolanos are
Filipinos too,” he added.
Bicol, which includes the provinces of Camarines Norte and Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Masbate and Catanduanes, is the Philippines’ sixth vote-richest region.
