An independent group, One Bohol for Good Governance, claimed former Tagbilaran City Mayor Atty. Dan Lim led Gov. Aris Aumentado 100% to 0% in an online survey conducted April 5, 2025. 

The results, announced Tuesday at a press conference at Sayas Restaurant, contradict a recent Holy Name University (HNU) Bohol Poll showing Aumentado with 80% voter preference compared to Lim’s 6%.

Dr. Elmer Nuez, president of One Bohol, a group identifying as supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte and former President Rodrigo Duterte, presented the findings. 

Formed in 2022 during the presidential election, One Bohol claims 34 parallel groups with 350,000 members. 

The group also endorsed several local candidates for the upcoming election.
