The survey topnotcher was not from GO, not from TU but an Independent (though he's anti-administration): Francis Pangilinan (Liberal Party-Drilon Wing) with 56%.
Trailing behind him are Loren Legarda (Nationalist People's Coalition-GO) with 54% followed by Manuel Villar Jr. (Nacionalista Party-GO) with 52%, Alan Peter Cayetano (Nacionalista Party-GO), Panfilo Lacson (United Opposition-GO) with 43%, and Francis Escudero (Nationalist People's Party-GO), 37%.
Ralph Recto (Lakas-CMD-TU) got a percentage of 37% while his fellow team mate Vicente Sotto III (Nationalist People's Party-TU) got 31%.
Completing the last 4 seats are John Osmeña (United Opposition-GO) and Benigno Aquino III (Liberal Party-Drilon Wing-GO), 30%; Gregorio Honasan (Independent) gaining 29% and lastly the People's Dragon, Joker Arroyo (Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino-TU) with 28%.
On the other hand, the government agency Social Security System (SSS) also held their own mock polls where unknowingly, GO bets led the said polls. It was ironic that the agency under the Arroyo administration is favoring its rival's bets that theirs. It just shows the dissatisfaction of government employees to Gloria Arroyo!
The result was 9 GO, 2 Independents and 1 TU. It was casted by 4,800 employees from 118 SSS branch offices participated in the mock polls that started last March 6. Here's the result:

Landing in fourth, fifth and sixth places were Loren Legarda (2,985), Manuel Villar (2,872) and Panfilo "Ping" Lacson (2,855).
Wrapping up the Magic 12 were Arroyo (2,555), Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan (2,361), Antonio Trillanes (2,147), Sonia Roco (2,011), Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III (1,095) and Gregorio "Gringo" Honasan (1,679).
It's now clear on who's winning the soon-to-be-vacated 12 Senate seats. It will be an opposition-dominated Senate. The TU bets will make it hard to have a 12-0 in favor of them because they're dimwits. They're running for the public office that they want to abolish.
