MANILA, Philippines — Unfazed by low ranking in pre-election surveys, the opposition will continue its “honorable,” volunteer-driven campaign, senatorial contenders Samira Gutoc and Erin Tañada said Wednesday. Tañada, meanwhile, said he saw the growing awareness rate of Otso Diretso candidates from Pulse Asia’s April survey.
