The race for the vice presidency might be down to just two, according to Sen. Sergio Osmeña III.

Osmeña on Saturday weighed in on the chances of the country’s vice presidential aspirants, saying the competition among the five candidates was tight.

“Very close,” Osmeña said at a forum in Quezon City. “It seems the surveys accurately reflect what the people are feeling in this time.”

Osmeña, however, thinks Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Camarines Sur Rep. Ma. Leonor “Leni” Robredo will eventually be battling it out for the top spot.

“I think the race might just be between those two,” he said.

In the recent pre-election surveys, Marcos enjoys a solo lead while Robredo’s numbers continue to surge.

Still, Osmeña said the chances of erstwhile front-runner Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero should not be discounted.

“You cannot discount Chiz, kasi Chiz is only two points behind Leni. So talagang tie din sila for number two,” he said.
