What I found was that there were a lot of comments about Pichay's ads, a lot were commenting about how corny it is, how unbelievable it is, how dumb it looks, how fat Pichay looks, the fact that he is a Congressman, . . . and that because of those he should not be voted into office. I just don't understand the fuss with his ad. It was far from being a great ad, admittedly, but that should not be a cause not to vote for him. I was arguing that at least he introduced himself to the people, his face, his name, which was better than a lot of other ads out there which seemed to be hiding the person behind the ad and was just using a well known name. Case in point was Pimentel's ad, the first ad he had only had his father talking, he did not introduce himself and a voter could definitely think that he/she would be voting for his dad, I thought that to be a worse offense as it was misleading and makes the electoral process a mockery (while on his second ad - only his celebrity endorser spoke). I also found that to be true about Magsaysay's Newspaper Ads.<BR/><BR/>I also found that a lot of negative comments were about generalities, whether about the ad or about the man in general, to me, generalities just is not valid enough. OK, he's from Congress, or that he supported GMA on a number of issues, that makes him unqualified for the Senate or to be voted for? I just think that voters should be more open and ask more constructive questions, that is all. I would even argue that at least he does not use celebrities to endorse him, does not lean on any more prominent relations either, just standing on his own - something quite commendable.<BR/><BR/>About his ad - who knows, maybe it being corny, or not too well made, that was part of it - to get people to talk about him? Maybe it worked after all.<BR/><BR/>And don't pity me - as I said, I like the guy, I find him quite articulate and there seems to be a lot of grey matter between his ears - I would vote for that. He is quite frank when he speaks, seems to have a stand on issues - I would vote for that too. From some posts about the elections, I find out he was a successful businessman prior to becoming a Congressman, I would again vote for that, because I believe that successful businessmen operate with a lot of logic which will be something good for the Senate.<BR/><BR/>So yes, I guess you can say that I am a Pichay FAN - only if I can get one of those cardboard fans that politicians give away these days with his face on it - hehe. Maybe you can post it on your site for me to download - hehe so I will be an official Pichay Fan!<BR/><BR/>As for blogging - I don't, maybe next time? Will you be my fan too?martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03524737795856889691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19644792.post-62662830547286485872007-04-09T17:23:00.000+06:002007-04-09T17:23:00.000+06:00Manager, Papa San ang tawag dun 'di ba?
