Claim: Public opinion research firm WR Numero released a survey for the mayoral and vice mayoral races in Pasig City for the 2025 midterm elections.
Rating: FALSE
Why we fact-checked this: The post bearing the claim has gained 909 reactions, 659 comments, and 25 shares, as of writing.
The post’s caption reads: “Sa bawat pagtulong gamit ang puso at sa bawat pangarap na unti unting tinutupad. Sigurado tayong kakayanin natin. (With every act of heartfelt support and each dream gradually being fulfilled, we are certain we can achieve this.) #SarahAll #AteSarah #Kayathis.”
The survey, reportedly conducted by WR Numero from October 21 to 23, claims that incumbent Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto has 60% support among the public, while his rival Sarah Discaya garnered 40%.
In the vice mayoral race, former vice mayor Iyo Bernardo allegedly received 80% support among respondents, outpacing incumbent Vice Mayor Dodot Jaworski, who received 20%. The survey’s margin of error is 1.33%.
The facts: The survey results circulating online did not come from WR Numero.
“We would like to categorically state that WR NUMERO did not conduct the survey in question, nor are we affiliated with the data shared by this page,” the research firm said in a public advisory on November 11.
“We take such incidents seriously, as they undermine not only the integrity and trust in our work, but also public confidence in polling as a whole. WR NUMERO is committed to delivering accurate, credible, and scientifically rigorous public opinion research in both our national and local polls,” the firm added.
The Facebook page that shared the survey has repeatedly posted content promoting Discaya.

Pasig race: Sotto, who is seeking a third term as mayor, will be competing against Discaya, one of the owners of St. Gerrard General Contractor and Development Corporation.
Sotto and the Pasig-based construction company have previously engaged in a word war, with the latter decrying Sotto’s “baseless” attacks against the company. Meanwhile, the Pasig mayor has alleged that St. Gerrard was involved in several anomalies and political attacks against the city administration.
Recently, Sotto filed a disqualification case against Discaya over her alleged ties to St. Timothy Construction Corporation, which had a joint venture with South Korean firm Miru, the election provider for the 2025 elections, Inquirer reported.
Sotto alleged that Discaya’s St. Gerrard Construction is the same company as St. Timothy, pointing out that the two companies share the same address. – James Patrick Cruz/Rappler.com
