Politics and Entertainment

Politics in the Philippines are predictable. It’s like a popularity contest. The nearer the big day of election comes, the more entertaining the Philippine politicians become. How to boost your popularity? 

BIG EVENTS!

Politician A: I have nothing against this one. I’m being biase here. He’s my bet anyway. He has the capacity to make Filipinos be proud again. He ’s a candidate made out of a big event. People realizes suddenly that there’s more than just popularity and political background that should be considered to be a leader. This one got them all!

The Sacrificial Lamb

Politician T: Who is he anyway? Hmmm., I have no idea who he is until he was chosen as the running President of some party. Why not the other politician who is more popular? I guess it’s because, he is a relative of Politician A. Or maybe because they’re sure it will be a landslide win for Politician A that they just need a sacrificial lamb. How he’s doing with popularity contest? He can be seen on TV now a days. The frontier, the speaker, the team leader.  Give thanks to Ondoy, his popularity boost well.

The ONE to blame

Politician B: Wow! His speech really is a good one! He’s the one to blame for the flood that Ondoy caused. Thanks to Ondoy once again. This morning one Ondoy victim says whoever is to be blamed should pay for his life. I suddenly pity his. He’s heroic act could tarnish him. Well, you know what they say, good or bad it’s still publicity!

The Informercial Models

Politician O: Nice tactic! It’s lame and boring. Old style and Filipinos always want something new and entertaning.

The Humanitarian

Politician L: I salute  her! She realized that instead of spending millions for election candidacy, why not spend it on humanitarian works. Anyway, it’s as good as winning, not in the presidencial election but winning the Filipinos’ heart. (It’s an almost sure landslide anyway to the other party.  For now.)
