CBCP urges voters not to look at surveys, ads - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos
MANILA, Philippines – "Winnability," as measured by a good performance in surveys, should not be used as a criterion for voting, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines said on Sunday.
In its pastoral statement on occasion of its 100th General Assembly, the CBCP called on voters to follow their conscience, not the results of pre-election surveys, in deciding who to vote for in the coming elections.
“Do not be swayed by survey results or political advertisements. Follow the dictates of your conscience after a prayerful and collective period of discernment,” read the CBCP’s statement.
“‘Winnability’ is not at all a criterion for voting!” it further said.
