00:00Following public observations that several survey frontrunners did not make it to the final list of winners in the recent midterm elections,

00:08particularly among senatorial candidates, the Commission on Elections, or COMELEC, asserted that pre-election surveys

00:15should not be considered as definitive predictors of electoral outcomes.

00:21COMELEC Chairman George Irwin Garcia explained that there are factors often not captured in surveys,

00:28such as last-minute changes in voters' decisions and the actual voting behavior of certain groups.

00:35He also stressed that while surveys can influence public perception, they may serve as a form of mind conditioning.

00:42He urged voters to focus thoroughly on evaluating the candidates themselves rather than relying on survey results.
