Villar Spent a Billion on Ads?

February 17, 2010 · Filed Under news · Comment 

What? On ads alone?

He really is “tunay na mahirap”… hehehe. Anyway, I just saw on tv (as in just now) that Manny Villar spent over a Billion on his political ads alone… Omigosh. That money could have been used to build hospitals or schools… or to buy medicines for the sick, or much-needed multiple vitamins for babies and kids…

Am not surprised though, cause I see his face every night on tv… and my super baby nephew, he is about two years old, knows the infamous “nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura” jingle. Hehehe. Effective strategy, in all fairness.

Administration candidate Gilbert “Gibo” Teodoro has spent (so far) about 407 million pesosesoses. I just wonder if that’s from our taxes. Hmmnn…. I hope not.

Noynoy Aquino ranks third, as far as ad spending is concerned, having spent 268 million.

So much money… will they “try to get their money back” when they become President?

Abangan. tsk.

New Noynoy Ad

January 29, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

Have you seen presidentiable Noynoy Aquino’s new political ad? It’s cute and almost as catchy as Manny Villar’s “nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura” thingy. And funny cause who would have known that Noynoy has a “talent” — i mean he did rap there.. lol. The cutest, however, is Baby James’ appearance at the end of the ad — much like him endorsing his tito — just as Kris endorsed her dad many years ago.

They say among all the presidential aspirants, it is only Noynoy who is the true “opposition” candidate. He has integrity, and his promise not to “steal” is big — cause nobody had made that claim yet. But that promise might haunt him if ever he become President — that’s if he, if ever, would not stay true to his promise.

Anyway, lately we’ve been talking at the office about taxes — and quite true, whatever we do, we are taxed. We are taxed when we earn — like 30% of our earnings, and then we get taxed on each and every little thing we do. Buy something and we get taxed… arghh.. I just hope we get something more from the taxes the government is getting from us — like free hospitalization (free insurance quotes/services), free education, free burol? — just like in Makati. Hehehe.

Noynoy and the Kris Aquino Controversy

January 17, 2010 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

It’s almost impossible not to pity Noynoy… because it seems that whatever his younger sister Kris does, he would be dragged into it.

Which makes me think about what would happen if ever he becomes president? Will he be able to manage the country well with controversies about his sister coming in left and right. It’s not that she really causes them — but she’s a famous celebrity and some people could just make things up about her, and people would instantly believe, but still.. what would Noynoy do, if ever this happens?

Anyway, on a non-related matter, anybody knows the side effects of conjugated linoleic acid? I heard it is a good antioxidant and helps fight cancer and has health promoting properties. The only thing I read about it that I do not want is that it burns fat, cause i need to gain weight. lol.

Noynoy Aquino’s Campaign Ad

November 4, 2009 · Filed Under opinion · Comment 

Have you seen it?

Well, if you havent, here it is:

Song’s “Hindi Ka Nag-iisa”, sung by Asia’s songbird Regine Velasquez… the video is so grand, great concept, kudos to whoever thought of that. Probably thanks to Kris, the vid boasts of super celebrities including megastar Sharon Cuneta, talent manager Boy Abunda, comedy queen Aiai delas Alas, world’s sexiest Dingdong Dantes and girlfriend, FHM’s sexiest Marian Rivera, singer composer Ogie Alcasid, dyosa Anne Curtis, Bea Alonzo, PBB’s Mariel Rodriguez and Bianca Gonzales, and a whole lot more people.. I’m gonna need the best eye wrinkle cream before i can identify and count them all… Anyway, space is probably not enough to list their names here. hehehe.

It’s as if this year’s presidential campaign would be a battle of celebrity endorsers! Noynoy looked sincere, he’s kinda growing on me.. maybe afterwards, he can highlight the things he has done, so we would know more about him as a worker, over being an Aquino.

Time to know Noynoy.
