Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio maintains her lead in the latest survey conducted by Pulse Asia for the vice-presidential candidates.

In its latest result released on Monday, a week before the local and national elections, Duterte remains the top choice for the vice presidency with 55 percent voter preference.

She was followed by Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III with 18 percent, a 2-point dropped from his March survey result.

Senator Francis Pangilinan was in the third spot with 16% percent, followed by Dr. Willie Ong with 3 percent, and Manny Lopez with 1 percent.

The latest Pulse Asia survey was conducted from April 16 to 21. It was based on a sample of 2,400 representative adults 18 years old and above, who are registered voters and likely to vote in the May 2022 elections.

Duterte's running mate, former senator Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. also maintained his lead in the presidential survey with 56 percent voter preference.
