Pedal attraction
Actual conversation
– Could you please tell Maroxas that his pedicab TV ad is really awkward? Looks like he’s about to expire from the effort of pedaling, and his passenger is a small child.
– Hahahahaha.
– Never mind the marriage proposal on Wowowee, I’m guessing the voters love that. But they can tell that he’s never driven a pedicab in his life. Mukha siyang hinihingal. He should look comfortable, not ‘Yaya I’m tired na’.
– But because of that ad he is now up 16 percent in the surveys. Only he and Chiz are rising in the surveys. The rest are going down down down.
More proof that I know squat about how the audience thinks.
And why did they drop the Mister Palengke image when it was so effective in his last campaign?

Mar Roxas-pedicab. Who are they fooling? It may work wonders for his political image but in the end, whoever is responsible for this telenovela inspired concept is dreaming. And what can one man like Mar Roxas do to uplift the lives of these pedicab people? Condescending to their plight isn’t going to do them any good;ditto that Manny Villar ad with the OFWs. The remedy to this nation’s stinking poverty and unemployment should have been done in the 1960’s: effective population management or control,which the almighty Church has successfully blocked time and again. Honestly,does anyone in this intelligent site still believe that this nation can still rise from the pits? I have created my own version. Mar:”Anak,itabi mo.” Mar gets off the pedicab. Then he runs away,screaming,”Mommy kooohhh!”

uh-uh rising prices, no good for palengke image.
i thought he’ll just pedal the trisikad [“anak, itabi mo. ako na!”–how my heart melted] and not gun for the presidency, that’s why, when surveyed, i said i approve of this new image.

yes it is awkward. and i can’t see the point of that ad.

Saw the TV ad on Youtube. It’s unintentionally funny.
It must be time to see how politicos will go much lower on the “I’ll out-pander you” scale.

Nah, it’s politics. If he’s taking the showbiz route, I wish him the best of luck. The ad’s cloying as hell, though.
And I have to agree about his Mister Palengke. Whoever came up with that campaign was a genius.

I guess it had to do with his profanity-laced public outburst.
Mr. Palengke has all of a sudden become Mr. Palengkera
