IDEA FOR A CAMPAIGN SLOGAN

[quentin]

Dear Noynoy,
 
    I went to the Philippines last January 2010 and I conducted my own "survey" by asking questions to about 100 people that I met
on the streets from Manila to Baguio City. My first question is..."who will you vote for President in the coming election?"
 
    I received different response from my first question. Some said they will vote for you...others said they will vote for Villar...others
said they will vote for Teodoro...while  a few of them said they will vote for Gordon or Erap.
 
    After asking them my first question...I follow-up with my second question..."who do you think will WIN?"
Would you believe? 100% of  the people I asked gave me the same "answer"..."NOYNOY".
Yes...they all think you will win...even if they want  to vote for other candidates.
 
That is why, I was surprised with the latest results of Pulse Asia and SWS survey that put you in a statistical tie with Manny Villar.
Perhaps...there is something wrong with your campaign slogan. Perhaps...your campaign slogan is not creating the so-called
"band wagon effect" that will ensure your victory in the coming presidential election.
 
It is for this reason  that I formulated a campaign slogan that I believe will create the "band wagon effect" to ensure your victory
against you opponents. Attached in this letter is the idea that I have made for your billboards and posters.
 
I tell you frankly...in every election...all the people...specially the so-called "masses"...love a SURE "WINNER". It is true even
in horse races...people love to bet on the sure "winner"...they called it..."patok na patok"...which means..."siguradong panalo".
 
I notice that you are not re-assuring the people in your campaign slogans and posters that you are a sure "winner".
 
Remember what happen to FPJ. Just like you...he was leading all the survey in 2004 when he announced his candidacy. Again...
just like you...when you asked the people in 2004 who will win...their unanimous answer is FPJ. How come...he lost the election?
 
FPJ lost the election because...everybody was saying...."FPJ will WIN but he will be CHEATED".
Yes...that was the consensus in 2004. The problem with the campaign slogan of FPJ in his billboards and posters is that...they did
not "re-assure" the voters that FPJ is a "SURE WINNER".
 
Yes, the campaign slogans of FPJ did not create the so-called "band wagon effect" to ensure his victory and to make him...immune  to "cheating".
And as everybody knows by now...."GARCI happens".
 
Would you like that to happen in your campaign?
 
As you said...when SWS released their survey that showed Villlar catching up on you...surveys can be bought in "Quiapo". So...be prepared
for the eventuality that future survey results will show Villar leading...and it can happen...because survey...specially conducted by SWS
and Pulse Asia...can be manipulated.
 
Therefore, no matter what the survey said...you can counter it with a very effective campaign slogan by re-assuring the voters that
your VICTORY is forthcoming...that your VICTORY is a done deal...that your VICTORY is irreversible...that your VICTORY
is not only certain...but it is as sure as daylight.
 
Remember the campaign slogans of MARCOS...."for every tear...a victory"...."this nation can be great again"...."alis diyan!"(off-course...
refering to the father of GMA who is the incumbent then)...those are very effective slogans that re-assure the voters that
MARCOS is a sure winner.
 
People love to go with a sure winner...and you are! So...I beg you....if you want to win...to really...reallly win....change your campaign slogan.
Like your present campaign slogan..."hindi ko po kayo nanakawan." What is that? You are not running for a Saint...you are running
for President.
 
Come on man...."hindi ko po kayo nanakawan"...makes you look like a hypocrite...it will not create a "band wagon" effect. It will certainly
not make you a SURE WINNER in the eyes of the people.
 
"Hindi po ako magnanakaw" or "Hindi ko po kayo nanakawan" is not only making you the laughing stock of the whole nation...
they are making fun of you...by saying...."look who is talking!"
 
Please stop it...unless you want Manny Villar to win....you can stick to your worn-out hypocritical cliche...."hindi ko po kayo nanakawan"
gimmick. It hurts...it really hurts...if  you know what I mean? Nixon used that....when he said..."I am not a crook"...perhaps you know
what happened to Nixon?
