Vice President Noli de Castro has remained the top choice of Filipinos to succeed President Arroyo in 2010, a recent survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) showed.

De Castro’s latest score, however, dropped by two percentage points from 31 percent in June to 29 percent in September, the SWS said.

Senate President Manuel Villar came in second with 28 percent, followed by Sen. Loren Legarda with 26 percent, according to the Third Quarter 2008 Social Weather Survey.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson was fourth with 17 percent, followed by Sen. Francis Escudero (16 percent), former President Joseph Estrada (13 percent) and Sen. Manuel Roxas (13 percent).

Mrs. Arroyo was the choice of one percent of the respondents along with Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Bayani Fernando, Senators Antonio Trillanes IV, Juan Ponce Enrile, Francis Pangilinan, Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Richard Gordon, Jinggoy Estrada, Jamby Madrigal and Pia Cayetano, and former House speaker Jose de Venecia Jr.
