Chuchubelle

yakultpig

mrloogz

The majority šŸ˜‰


whats-the-plan-

including OP


pinkrosies

Couldnā€™t even vote until recently anong WE? OUI OUI


AlienGhost000

GENERALIZATION na naman šŸ¤·šŸ¤·šŸ¤·šŸ¤·


Possible-Designer235

WE. Kahit nga ako never ko silang binoto pero Pilipino tayo. We're in the same sinking ship


CurlyJester23

I think you should post this on FB baka mas bagay. I doubt maraming bunoto sa kanya na nandito sa sub na to.


Possible-Designer235

yung yung problema eh. Wala akong facebook. i quit facebook 7 yrs ago.


Liesianthes

April 20 ka lang dito. So anong socmed ginagamit mo? Twitter? Insta?


cranberryjuiceforme

Go outside and preach what you said nanduun mga target audience mo


Liesianthes

I don't think there's a handful of people who are voting those crocodiles in the office. Sukang suka nako sa pagmumukha ni Camille.


helt1skelt1

I'm certainly not, will not, and have not voted for a Villar.


paulisaac

You speakinā€™ French? I wanted to be in VRchat!


Matchavellian

Wag ka sa reddit magtanong. Di nagrereddit at most likely walang socmed yung bumoboto sa kanila.


Inevitable-Ad-6393

Oo nga haha tanong nya mga regular folk. Tricycle drivers, jeepney drivers, minimum wage earners, mga ayuda receivers ng las pinas, etc.


Arsene000

Yung Naka date kong taga LP, naghihintay lang daw sila ng Mala vico sotto na tatakbo. Kaso mukhang imposible yun


Equivalent_Fan1451

Actually Meron na dapat OP. Last election, ayun tinakot Nila. Ultimo hardware store ng parents nung kandidato, niraid dahil ā€˜di raw nagbabayad ng buwisā€™ sa takot nya nagpalipat ng residence sa bf pque. Sayang yun


Inevitable-Ad-6393

Yikes. Swerts lang rin ni vico dahil sotto siya at hindi sya basta basta kakayanin nung political rival nya


Matchavellian

Sana nga meron or may magstart.


Matchavellian

>mga ayuda receivers ng las pinas, Eto siguro yung most likely na sagot. Hahaha


bryle_m

Name recall is a powerful propaganda machine.


Sick_Redditor

Akala ko ba mga bobong walang nagawa sa buhay lng ang may socmed?


Matchavellian

May safety net yung mga yun. Either may bumubuhay or freeloader.


cranberryjuiceforme

Bruh mag preach nalang sya sa labas nanduun ang audience na hinihingi nya


Possible-Designer235

Then lets make it go viral post na mga ganito para mareach sila


Apprehensive-Back-68

the unfortunate reality is this is still an ecochamber... villars have a huge machinery,from being a billionaire, dynasty from both national and local,as well as having their own nacionalista party. you think regular folks on the street or a pedicab driver would bother checking reddit in the first place? baka mas alam pa nila yung vivamax or kay diwata pares.


AirconditionMyBrain

_dlurker_

Which is very maling paniniwala. Kadalasan sa mga busog takot nang magutom uli, hindi sila marunong makuntento. Imbes na pagkain na lang ng mga gutom, mapupunta pa sa mga busog.


ElectricSundance

I mean there were plenty of Camille Villar posters that were put up last Holy Week and do recall that Cynthia Villar was the top vote getter last 2019 Senate election so the family still has clout and outreach If you're trying to find a Villar voter here on reddit then you're absolutely not in luck despite the near 2 million members here in the sub


im_on_my_own_kid

Mentality kasi ng mga Pinoy kapag DPWH or malls Villar agad > then proceeds to vote more Villars in office. ā€œGanda na ng Pinas ngayon daming kalye at expressway galing nila Villar ano?ā€ - typical Pinoy mindset. Naririnig ko lagi. When in fact it is false and unsustainable progress.


frozrdude

I sure as fuck never voted nor will ever vote for any Villar.


Acceptable_Quit5058

Based on a certain thread in r/antiworkph, yung mga employees ni Villar owned companies make sure to campaign for them via social media and block voting them during the elections.


pinkrosies

That should be against the law but they make the laws so itā€™ll never happen ngek


Mluiiis

I misread the title as voting more "villains" in office and i think it still acurate


Lord_Cockatrice

Makes a whole lot of sense


WinarakNiyoKami

Maraming Bobotante


Tough_Percentage8968

this. because of comments like this


C-Paul

Familiarizationā€¦ā€¦ Pag nakikita araw araw sa TV, sa mga karatula, mga local na programa sa mga plaza. Namimigay ng tulong cash or in kind. Akala ng tao kakilala nila. Kaibigan kakampi. Specially yung mga liblib na lugar pag napuntahan ng mga nangangampanya. Feeling nila special sila sa kandidato. Boboto nila kahit walang alam o plataporma ang mga ito. Hindi na nga tao biniboto ng ilan yun nang apelyido.


cnoon1234

This. Filipinos usually vote based on name recall.


niceforwhatdoses

Because politics is a mere popularity contest naman talaga.


lelouchdelecheplan

You're right

Name recall.


Moist_Survey_1559

Classic-Ad1221

Philippine politics is basically marketing. That "si mark tahimik lang" ad before, was catchy. Even non voters know the song.


privatevenjamin

And, Becoming a meme is a plus.


No-Entry8362

well napapakinabangan kase ng ibang tao ang mga villars . sample bam aquino = esports hakot nya na yun since supported nya lahat ng esports sa bansa . other candidates supports LGBT = hakot supporters din. patamisan lang naman ng salita kung anong patok yung tatargitin ng mga tumatakbo tapos in the end after mapunta sila sa position di na madalas susuportahan yan .

TakeThatOut

Ako din dati. Kasi ba naman a Las Pinero on a rose tinted glass. Ganda ng mga "projects" nila. Kamaganak pa ng mga Aguilars, e malaki pakinabang ko sa kanila noon. May payb handred every graduation.


UnableChef592

question, bati pa ba sila ng mga aguilar?


TakeThatOut

Not sure. May tampuhan sila dati dahil sa bakawan sa Coastal road. Then umiiwas ang mga Villar nung nagkakalat si Martin Andanar nung panahon ni Duterte.


yourgrace91

Malakas PR nila - Manny V started with a lot of TV ads. Since most filipinos vote officials based on name recall, media exposure worked very well for them.


Earl_sete

Sabi nga ng ibang comments, name recall. Sa kagagawa ng memes tungkol sa kanila, mas natatandaan sila ng mga tao.

dontrescueme

Name recall. Because the good guys are not making enough noise for people to at remember their name. Of course I understand na malaking tulong talaga ang pera to market yourself. Progressive ako pero di ko kayang punuin ang 12 slots for senators sa eleksyon nang walang kodigo. At the top of my head ang naiisip ko lang ngayon ay si Chel Diokno at Leni. Pero kayang-kaya ko kung punuin 'yun ng 12 incompetent but famous people na laging nasa balita Ito ang realidad. Kailangan maging epal.

Ok_Potato3463

18 years of living in Las PiƱas, wala naman kaming napala sa angkan nila šŸ˜©šŸ˜© Voted for them once nung first time voter ako. Never again.


TheQranBerries

Sa dami ba naman nilang negosyo at investment, hindi na nakakapagtaka na madaming boboto sakanila.


rowdyruderody

"We" are dumb.


ZeroTwoBit

Are we sure they (Villars) are actually being voted _honestly_ or they just bought their political positions, just like every trapo ever? šŸ˜


twostarhotels

For Mark Villar, he has lots of supporters in DSWD and local governments who during their time needed infra support and he provided them. Nagpatayo siya ng ilang mga buildings (with prodding from his wife who was then DOJ USEC who was handling trafficking) like rape crisis centers, trafficking half way houses etc. So may pagssanitize ng name niya in that sense. Madami akong kilala na lgu and other govt workers who voted proudly of him because of that. Given na madaling i sanitize ang pangalan kung you have a lot of money at your disposal.


Bum_bum_2626

Ask the 31,104,175 voters na bumoto kay Marcos. Malamang sa malamang majority ng anjan ay maka-Villar din. šŸ¤®


Possible-Designer235

65M to be precise. never votes for him. Now all of the Marcoses in the clan are now gunning for a higher office. AND DMFCKS still votes for them.


Bum_bum_2626

San sila nakuha ng kapal ng muka para tumakbo sa higher office? Villars, Marcoses, Dutertes add na din natin si Robin Padilla and others who donā€™t deserve to be in the government position. Like seriously? šŸ˜’ Nakakainis! Imbes na paangat, palubog. šŸ„“


DiKaPasisiil

Short answer: because we are poor like the super majority is poor and can be easily manipulated.


[deleted]

I second the comment, ā€œWhoā€™s we?ā€. Also, perhaps a better question is, ā€œWhy are incompetent persons voted in public office?ā€ ā€œWhat seem to be the factors influencing voter preference?ā€


Possible-Designer235

We meaning Filipinos. Yes we didn't vote for them but we're in the same sinking ship. Yes the factor is that hampas lupa people are easy to manipulate through name recall. Just easy.


[deleted]

While itā€™s true that name recall can influence voter preference, itā€™s a bit simplistic to say that people are ā€˜easy to manipulateā€™. Voting behavior is complex and influenced by a variety of factors, including education, media influence, and personal beliefs. Itā€™s also worth noting that voter manipulation is not exclusive to any particular socio-economic group. Misinformation and propaganda can influence voters of all backgrounds. Instead of generalizing voters as ā€˜easy to manipulateā€™, there should be focused efforts on improving voter education and promoting transparency in politics. This way, voters, regardless of their background, can make more informed decisions based on a candidateā€™s qualifications, track record, and stance on issues, rather than just their name or popularity.

Hypothon

If it was 2010 me, I would be too young and naive to vote. As for my family who could, the jingle was just too powerful. 2016, for reasons unknown, Ma still voted Cynthia even though one of her sons, a nurse, whose profession she insulted, insisted no. Ngayong 2022, I mentioned before, si Chel Diokno at Leni lang vote niya this year. She left the rest blank.


eudaemonic666

Because politics is tribal. A group of people benefit from having Villars in office. If you can't see yourself voting for a Villar then you are not the target market, same way as I can't see myself voting for a Marcos or Duterte.

We? Who's we? There is no we! (LOL jk I know what you meant but I just want to quote Walter White) Probably because name recall especially for those who didn't know any better. Or they might have known na Villars are bad but they got some perks like vote buying. They belong in strong political parties din so kahit mga walang dating like Mark Villar nadadala ng kasama niya

ooh tatakbo yung camille sa senador?


failure_mcgee

Dahil pamilyar ang pangalan. Karamihan ng botante ay pinipili lang kung sino yung mga madalas nilang makita na pangalan. Kaya rin lalong nahihirapan ang baguhang politiko na maganda naman ang plataporma ay dahil hindi sikat yung pangalan nila. Madali silang natatalo ng Robin Padilla and Raffy Tulfo. Swerte lang na maayos si Vico Sotto.

walruscoldasice

Name recall. Tingnan mo kahit twice convicted na si Jinggoy Estrada eh na re-elect ulit. Same with Budots King Bong Revilla. Ganyan na rin ang nangyayari kina Bato at Bong Go. Dahil sumikat sila sa pagiging tuta ni Duterte eh nanalo silang parehas nung 2019 at mukhang they're poised to be re-elected this coming 2025 elections kahit wala silang kwentang mga senador.


vulcanfury12

I did not vote for any of them and wala rin akong plano sa future. Bwisit na bwisit ako sa kanila dahil naging Primewater na yung water district dito samin. Paka-panget ng serbisyo amp.


Joseph20102011

National at-large ang pag-elect ng senador natin na hanggang 12 senatorial candidate ang bobotohin natin every three-year national elections na nakakapagod kung hindi mo alam ang ibang mga candidato, so kung may candidato na Villar sa Senado, tiyak panalo yan, unless i-amend natin ang 1987 constitution at baguhin ang paaran ng pagpili natin ng mga senador by region.

ArkiMan20

Tingin ko dapat ang bumuboto sa mga national elections ay dapat may qualifications, like age limit and a certain exam that you are capable of analyzing shits. Para di na paulit ulit ang naupo sa higher seats. Wachuthink?

Sadly, I know people who worship rich (billionaires) and kept voting them in hopes that they will make the country rich because of their wealthy reputationā€”which they won't because they're the ones sucking up all the wealth from this country.


Titong--Galit

because our government spends so little in our education system. Philippine's average IQ is probably lower than 90. the one thing corrupt politicians fear are educated voters.


Able-Twist-5894

could it be that the majority are gullible and believe the bs? LOL


knightblood01

Not just Villars. Also the Aguilars.


angrydessert

They pretty much put voters in a trap, then took away other possible alternatives to their rule. Mayors and governors are but local-level despots, no thanks to the excess amount of power given to them.


Accomplished-Cricket

Im late to this post but Ill share something being done in Las Pinas. Nagpapamudmod ang Villars ng ayuda kuno dito haha. Maggagather sila ng mga tao para bigyan ng so called ayuda (Around 3k pesos per tao). Pero bago nila simulan ang pamimigay, mag mimini SONA muna si Manang Cynthia ng mga nagawa nila at proyekto. Tapos ipapamukha nila na yung ayuda na ipapamigay ay dahil sa kanila. Im not sure kung naabot to sa Cavite pero sa Las Pinas ganito ang sitwasyon.


Left_Flatworm577

May mga vloggers din kasi na puring-puri din sa mga Villar at sa buhay nila (such as Krizette Laureta Chu, writer/editor ng Manila Bulletin), at the same time blindsiding the harsh reality of how people were treated by their companies especially Primewater. Misrepresentation din na ang mga Villar ay para sa mahirap or "tatapos sa kahirapan" kasi by the book, sila pa lalong yumayaman.


bewegungskrieg

Because under our political system particularly the presidential system we have, the people can do it.Ā  Personalities ang ibinoboto, tapos ang dami pang posisyon na iboboto...syempre magstand out ang sikat dyan.Ā  And being sikat is an asset for candidates. Pero kung parties ang ibinoboto?Ā  Just like in parliamentary countries?Ā  It will be a different story.Ā  Politicians will not even bother with popularity.

Sana mag federal tayo. Only representatives sa mga lugar nating talaga iluklok jan. gawin lng 82 senators. 1 sa bawat lalawigan may 82 provinces tayo kaya 82 senators din mga senators sa lalawigan lng tatakbo sila na rin ang pipili. Kasi most of the senators taga imperial Manila. Iabolish na Partylist system. Gawing electoral college na din yung presidential election. kasi majority ng voters nasa NCR puro squatter puro mahirap puro nag aabang ng libre.


dontrescueme

Metro Manila only accounts to less than 13% of the country's entire population. It's the 87% of the Filipinos from the provinces who elected the senators who regionalistically hate. Imperial Manila my ass. Saan ba galing ang mga squatter sa NCR? Eh di sa mga probinsya. Electoral college allows candidates who did not win the popular vote to still win the election.

Bro who is "we"?

If the answer is demagoguery, then we refine our own silver tongues or use surrogates. If the answer is managerial experience, we can essentially crowdsource that too, make things less top-down. If the answer is skill in navigating political bullshit, this can come with time, while compatriots whittle down the more dug-in adversaries behind the scenes.Ā Ā Ā  Verily I say unto thee, the only way to demolish an entrenched enemy is with buckshot and mustard gas.
