With the announcement last June 25, 2024 that Former President Rodrigo Duterte, Mayor Baste Duterte, and Congressman Paolo Duterte are all planning to run for Senate in the 2025 midterm elections, a notable 4.5% decline in his voter preference was recorded for the former president (50.88% last June to 46.33% for July) and a 2.08% decline in voter preference for Cong. Paolo Duterte was also recorded (25.00% last June to 22.92% for July). The former president continued to leverage on the support of the entire regions under Mindanao, however voter preference in Southern Luzon and Bicol Region are trending directionally downwards.
