PULSE ASIA HAS A LOT TO EXPLAIN

I’m back, guys.

I had spent the last few days finding out everything I can about the non-stop blocking I have been going through with my blog. And I got good results. You people know I already know who you are. So for the last time, DON’T EXPECT TO SILENCE ME with your dirty tricks, because I WON’T STOP. I will accept criticisms but if you want to play dirty, believe me I know how to deal with you.

Now, here’s our blog, boys and girls:

Pulse Asia has a lot to prove, and explain, in its supposed latest survey showing that 11 Team PNoy and five UNA senatorial bets have a chance to win in the coming elections.

Published reports yesterday said according to Pulse Asia, the survey was done by face-to-face interviews with 1,800 respondents nationwide.

Can Pulse Asia prove that all 80 provinces, and their towns and cities, throughout the country were indeed visited? How many people conducted the survey that it only took three days to do it?

I consulted the personal pilot of a Makati-based businessman and a retired political liaison officer of a former senator before I wrote this blog.

Both of them said unless Pulse Asia used at least 100 workers for every province, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to conduct a truly nationwide survey through face-to-face interviews.

With 80 provinces, Pulse Asia should have interviewed an average of 22 respondents in each province. How then can 22 people represent the sentiment of the tens or hundreds of thousands, or millions who live there?

If not all the provinces were visited, why is Pulse Asia saying that it was a nationwide survey? That would be an OUTRIGHT LIE!

I also find Pulse Asia’s claim that the survey was non-commissioned or not paid for by anybody as UNBELIEVABLE and UNREALISTIC considering that it’s a privately-owned company.

Even a commoner can easily realize that it would take millions to conduct a truly nationwide survey using face-to-face interviews. There would be expenses for transportation fare, food, accommodation and other related needs.

Considering the times, no privately-owned firm would spend millions WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING in return, either in cash or in kind.

A personal friend of mine who works in one of the top three mobile phone companies told me that despite the billions they earn, projects above P1 million go through the proverbial eye of a needle before it is even considered for approval.

Now, is Pulse Asia big enough to spend millions in three days without anything in return? If the firm will say yes, will it be willing to prove how big it is by publicly baring its books of accounts?

If Pulse Asia will not explain the details, then there is no sane and logical reason for anyone to trust the supposedly nationwide survey.

The least that all of us should do is to totally ignore Pulse Asia and spread the word to everybody we know who are out of the country. 30
