ACT-CIS party-list Representative Erwin Tulfo emerged as the frontrunner of voters' preferred senatorial candidates based on a Pulse Asia survey. 

Based on the survey conducted from January 18 to January 25, Tulfo is still at the top of the senatorial preference for Eleksyon 2025, with 62.8% of the respondents expressing support for his candidacy. He was followed by Senator Bong Go and ex-Senator Tito Sotto in second and third place with 50.4% and 50.2% voter preference, respectively. 

At least 2,400 Filipino adults participated in the survey through face-to-face interviews. It has a sampling error margin of ±2% at the 95% confidence level.
