Majority of Filipinos oppose pro-China candidates in 2025 elections, survey shows
Summary: A recent Pulse Asia survey shows that 73% of Filipinos will not support pro-China candidates in the 2025 midterm elections. Only 5% expressed support for such candidates, while 23% were undecided.
The survey indicates a strong mistrust of China among Filipinos, particularly due to ongoing disputes in the West Philippine Sea. Just 1% view China as a trusted partner for national development, compared to 79% for the U.S.
The survey was conducted from September 6 to 13, 2023, with 1,200 respondents and a margin of error of ± 3. The findings reflect concerns over China's influence and actions in the region.
