The survey was implemented from February 26 to March 6, 2026, through face-to-face interviews with a nationally representative sample of 2,637 adults aged 18 years and above.

The sampling design employed regional stratification across all 18 regions and further classification by urban and rural clusters. The national estimates carry a ±2% margin of error at a 96% confidence level, while subnational estimates for each geographic area carry a ±5% margin of error at a 95% confidence level.

Weighting adjustments were applied to align the regional distribution of respondents with COMELEC’s latest voter registration data, totaling 68,618,667 registered voters. The final weighted regional proportions were 11% National Capital Region, 45% Luzon excluding NCR, 20% Visayas, and 24% Mindanao.

Gender distribution was likewise aligned with COMELEC data at 51% female and 49% male.

Socioeconomic classification followed established consumer segmentation standards in the Philippines, with respondents distributed as 7% from Class ABC, 75% from Class D, and 18% from Class E.
