Figure 1.1 Distribution of Respondents’ Registration Status

The above figure shows that a little more than half of the respondents (52%) are
registered while the others (48%) are not. Based from the statistical tests performed, it was
observed that there is no significant difference between male and female respondents
(sig=0.289), and among cluster/discipline regarding their registration status. On the other hand,
significant differences are found among age group (sig=0.000), origin (sig=0.009), and the
respondents’ academic level (sig=0.001).

A rather trivial result can be seen in Table 1.2 or alternatively in Figure 1.2 in which
100% of the age group 1 (17 years old below) are not registered while most of the respondents
in age groups 3 and 4 are registered.

from Metro Manila and Mindanao.

Table 2.1 reports about 17% of the total respondents did not give an answer for this
question. Furthermore, we can see that large percentages of the respondents answered
extreme possibilities (surely, 40% and definitely not, 31%). Based from the statistical tests
performed, it was examined out that no significant difference are found between male and
female respondents (sig=0.286), and between undergraduate and graduate respondents
(0.972) regarding their voting possibilities. Conversely, significant differences are observed
among age groups (sig=0.037), place of origin (sig=0.028), and cluster/discipline (sig=0.000).

Following the trivial observation we examined in question 1, we can see in Table 2.2 or
alternatively in Figure 2.2 that most of the age group 1 respondents will definitely not be going to
vote at the upcoming elections. However, a percentage of the age group 1 respondents which
answered other possibility of voting may imply a misunderstanding of the survey question. We
also find that respondents that are surely be going to vote at the upcoming elections are from
the age groups 2, 3, and 4.

Table 2.3 or alternatively Figure 2.3 shows that most of the respondents from Metro
Manila and Luzon rated a high possibility to vote at the upcoming elections while most of the
respondents from Visayas and Mindanao rated a least possibility of voting. Moreover, most
respondents which rated moderate possibilities are also coming from Visayas and Mindanao.

The above figure suggests that about a third of the respondents preferred not to answer
this question or answered having no preference or is indifferent at the time of the survey.
However, most of the respondents favored the Genuine Opposition which percentage is
approximately five times the percentage of respondents that preferred either the Tem Unity or
the Independents. Moreover, Figure 3.1 reports that 13% of the total respondents answered
most of their candidates are from mixed parties. Meanwhile, significant difference regarding the
choice of political party is observed among cluster/discipline only (sig=0.004) based on the
statistical tests performed.
