Childish arguments FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 01/25/2010 Amusing is the right word to describe two presidential candidates arguing over their survey numbers, and how they continue to spin them to their advantage. The camp of Nacionalista Party top bet Manny Villar comes out with a Villar commissioned survey, alongside a press release saying that the survey numbers, separating him from Liberal Party’s top bet Noynoy Aquino, are now closer and that Villar is fast-catching up with Aquino in the surveys.
