If the May 2010 presidential elections were fought over with Facebook fans, Noynoy Aquino would come out on top. Noynoy leads the Facebook “fan page” war with around 516,000 fans and growing. Manny Villar comes a close second with a 480,000 fan base.

Of course, users of Facebook are not the only voters in the country. They comprise just a small fraction of the “masa”, those who would rather find a meal than share what they’re eating online. Perhaps Erap’s magic will work on non-facebook/Internet users as he has only 5,700 fans, 5th overall behind Gibo and Gordon.

Rounding up the fan-wars-list are Nic Perlas with 2,600 and Jamby Madrigal who has a paltry 600++ fans.

I’m quite interested to see if this trend will mirror the May 2010 election results. Of course, Villar may have a significant edge as most of his marketing efforts are geared towards the poor… and yes, he has the money and machinery to implement it.

Meanwhile, here are the official fan pages of all the 2010 Presidential aspirants

• Noynoy Aquino
• Manny Villar
• Gibo Teodoro
• Dick Gordon
• Nic Perlas
• Jamby Madrigal

Let’s see if I can catch up with their fans, haha. Be my fan now. Thanks!
