The INC has in the waning days of the campaign reportedly distributed sample ballots to its voting members, estimated to number at least a million, instructing them to choose President Arroyo.
Her main rival Fernando Poe Jr. had been courting the INC voters because their total is roughly equivalent to the theoretical number of votes that the movie star needs to overtake Mrs. Arroyo, based on the results of the latest opinion surveys which have him trailing the incumbent by 4.5 percentage points.
