PambatoMo

Pambato Mo, I-Text Mo! aims to raise awareness about the 2010 presidential elections.

The poll seeks to help voters narrow down their choices from among the current crop of presidential aspirants, trigger discussions concerning the reasons behind people's choices and, toward the later phases, encourage people to scrutinize positions and track record of presidential candidates against issues that would be deemed important by voters.

Results are posted on abs-cbnNEWS.com and can be received by registered poll participants.

Data shown on this page corresponds to the total votes and the percentage of total votes obtained by a particular aspirant from text votes. Before they are allowed to vote, texters are required to register their mobile phones. Texters are allowed to vote more than once.

The names included in the poll were pre-selected based on names provided by respondents in surveys of independent polling organizations. Users choose from names arranged in alphabetical order.
