MANILA, Philippines — Senatorial candidates backed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. continue to lead in a commissioned senatorial preference survey, sponsored by Stratbase Consultancy, and released by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) on Thursday.

“For 2025, we need P11.5 billion to be approved. Otherwise, each billion of the deficit would result in about 2.1 hours of no power. We won’t be able to buy any fuel,” Fernando Martin Roxas, Napocor president and chief executive officer, told reporters on the sidelines of the Enlit Asia 2024 energy conference on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the investments “a huge vote of confidence” in his Labour government and its long-term growth plans, despite a stuttering start in power since the party’s election win in July.

According to the SWS, the survey had 2,097 registered voters as respondents, who were asked to choose 12 individuals from a list of 70 names that they would vote for as senators.
