			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week I <a href="http://www.kalvs.com/featured-articles/villar-catching-up/">posted</a> the most recent SWS survey which showed decreasing gap of voter&#8217;s preference to presidentiables Noynoy Aquino and Manny Villar. From that survey, Aquino&#8217;s lead over Villar is down by 11%, a steep decline from 19%.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, Aquino wasn&#8217;t satisfied with the result and even remarked that Villar&#8217;s camp fabricated the result in their favor. Even describing it as &#8220;nabibili sa Quiapo&#8221;.</p>
<p>Noynoy&#8217;s spokesman later clarified his statement saying that it was not the Social Weather Station that he&#8217;s talking about.</p>
<p>Para namang tanga ang mga nanonood at nakakapakinig kay Aquino para maniwalang hindi SWS ang kanyang pinatutungkulan. Hindi lamang umayon sa kanya ang survey ay negatibo na agad ang kanyang pananaw.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.kalvs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/villar-versus-noynoy.jpg"><img src="http://www.kalvs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/villar-versus-noynoy.jpg" alt="" title="villar-versus-noynoy" width="400" height="188" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an article I read at <a href="http://www.bworldonline.com/main/content.php?id=4520">Business World Online</a> that talks about the same remark.</p>
<blockquote><p>Surely, there must be something mentally dishonest about dismissing an SWS presidential poll as &#8220;nabibili sa Quiapo&#8221; after trumpeting the very same poll when it was reporting you in a commanding lead in the months earlier. Actually, the latest SWS poll &#8212; the December 27-28 one &#8212; still shows Mr. Aquino’s 44% voter base basically unchanged, but it also shows Mr. Villar’s growing to 33%, putting him within striking distance. What this confirms is that it’s really just a two-man race. </p>
<p>Of course, one risks getting trampled by the yellow army if one were to actually call Mr. Aquino mentally dishonest. Let’s therefore just say that his handlers &#8212; in some inexplicable lapse &#8212; simply neglected to prepare a reply for him to a foreseeable question so that he was forced to produce an answer all by himself. It probably did not occur to him that impugning the integrity of the Social Weather Stations then raises doubt about the voter support that SWS surveys also report him to have. &#8220;Nabili din kaya ’yun sa Quiapo?&#8221; is a legitimate follow-up question.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a news report from GMA 7 where they show Noynoy Aquino making the remark.</p>
