Now this is strange. A new survey by Pulse Asia shows that of all the presidential candidates Senator Manny Villar enjoys the trust of more Filipinos. It shows Senator Noynoy Aquino only at second place. Here’s an excerpt from an abs-cbnnews.com report.
The January 22-26 survey showed that 70% of Filipinos had much trust for Villar, [...]
I have a theory. The election campaigns of our presidential candidates are all run by one and the same group of people.
I say this because political advertisements being aired and published now are all basically saying the same things. There’s really not much difference among them. In my observation, here are some of the most [...]
I have just seen the latest TV ad of Senator Noynoy Aquino and I must say it’s a good one. Here it is from YouTube.
