Filipinos will always remember Sept. 26, 2009 for two things:
1. The destruction that typhoon Ondoy brought to the country
2. The boxed meals for the typhoon victims from presidentiable Manny Villar – with matching ’subtle’ message
This new advertising medium from Villar’s bright boys is undeniably much, much cheaper that a TV spot on the Kapamilya or Kapuso channels… and if the trend catches on… I would like to ‘pre-visualize’ (without permission, of course) what other candidates will come up with:

Noy and Mar opened Balay for relief operations, and guess what? Volunteers took over. Now we have tons of relief goods. No need for this new mode of advertising. Word of mouth, or rather, word of FB and Twitter, spread the virus of volunteerism!

It’s great to help our brothers affected by Ondoy but pleeeze, keep politics out of it!!

I think it’s disgusting to TRY to help because you get something out of it. Stop taking advantage of the situation!
