Duterte's miting de avance is one of 5 major events simultaneously happening in the metro in connection to the May 9 elections. (WATCH: LIVE COVERAGE: #PHVote 2016 Miting de Avance)
In the latest ABS-CBN survey conducted by Pulse Asia Research, Incorporated released on May 4, Duterte maintained his lead at 33% over his close rivals former interior secretary Mar Roxas and Senator Grace Poe. Roxas got 22% while Poe was at 21%.
Duterte was recently criticized by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, accusing him of not declaring millions of pesos in a bank account in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN). He was also criticized for his controversial rape joke in April.
This week, an anti-Duterte advertisement paid by Trillanes aired on ABS-CBN. While Senator Alan Peter Cayetano succeeded in getting a temporary restraining order (TRO) on ABS-CBN's airing of the ad, the network maintained that it was "a legitimate ad."
