Hiniling kahapon sa Commission on Elections (Comelec) ng isang abogado na patigilin ang Social Weather Stations (SWS) at Pulse Asia sa pagpapalabas ng pre-election survey para sa mga kumakandidatong senador sa eleksyon sa Mayo 13.

Ayon kay Atty. Lorenzo ‘Larry’ Gadon na aspirante rin sa pagka-senador sa ilalim ng Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL), nakakalinlang sa mga botante ang mga ganitong klaseng survey.

“It is in accordance with Article 9, Section C.4 of the 1987 Constitution which states that the Comelec may, during the election period, supervise or regulate the enjoyment or utilization of all franchises or permits for the operation of transportation and other public utilities, media of communication or information, all grants, special privileges, or concessions granted by the government or any subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, including any government-owned or controlled corporation or its subsidiary,” paliwanag ni Gadon sa dalawang pahinang petisyon sa poll body.
