Facebook Page Maisug Mindanao posted a series of social media cards last Friday, May 9, 2025. The results reportedly showed most of the Dutertes leading in an alleged Pulse Asia survey in Davao City. 

The page likewise posted other social media cards of alleged Pulse Asia surveys in other locations, namely Cagayan de Oro, Davao del Norte, Davao de Oro, and Davao Oriental, at various times of the day.
