I’ve always believed that gamers are critical thinkers - mainly because they spend a lot of time analyzing and perfecting builds and strategies for their characters in games. It’s very interesting how deep talking to a gamer can be - and in my job I talk to hundreds, if not thousands of them every year. [...]

Senate President Manny Villar recently announced that he was open to the idea of having a coalition with the administration party LAKAS for the upcoming 2010 elections. I wonder if there are on-going negotiations already in the background. I’m pretty certain that VP Noli De Castro is thinking of running for the Presidency given his [...]

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will be asking congress to pass a P1.4-trillion budget for 2009. She explains that it will go mostly to paying off our debts and to boost infrastructure and social welfare projects. While there maybe a chance that the money does go into the projects that they’re being planned for - I have [...]

While Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero is denying rumors that he’s running for the Presidency in 2010, MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando is asking to be annointed as the LAKAS-CMD standard bearer in the upcoming Presidential elections. In an interview with Inquirer in Pangasinan, he further explained that no one else from LAKAS or KAMPI have signified [...]

Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero recently explained in an interview that he currently has no intentions to run for either the Presidency or the Vice-Presidency in 2010. He cites that he is not qualified for the required minimum age of 40 by 2010. He’s currently 38 years old and will only turn 40 October of 2010. [...]

I’ve been a constant follower of Inquirer.Net and several daily broadsheets and there’s one thing that’s painfully obvious. Most, if not all, of the potential presidential candidates for 2010 have been doing their own PR Blitz through the major issues that have been surfacing the past few months. Other than that, they’ve also been very [...]

After months of intense and heated rivalry, Senator Obama and Clinton finally buried the hatchet and showed a united front for the Democratic party in New Hampshire. Though Clinton probably might have been dying inside, I can’t help but admire her for her political maturity. Despite having to go through a very personal fight with [...]

Other than being a gaming industry executive, I also am a part-time consultant for new media and internet marketing. I get to meet a lot of interesting people because of this and one of them is 2010 Presidential Candidate and Senator, Mar Roxas. I finally met with him today and he’s really a humble and [...]

OMFG. Hell freezes over. Panfilo Lacson is now an endorser of a men’s facial care product! WAPAK!
Seriously though - it looks like the product works since it looks like he’s 10 years younger in the picture, hahaha!

What’s a legal and effective way to campaign even before that actual campaign period starts? Be an endorser for a consumer brand. Presidential candidate Mar Roxas teams up with TIDE in this 30 second TVC. It’s actually not done in bad taste seeing as Mar’s persona as Mr.Palengke is clearly communicated.
Expect to see more [...]

The latest SWS survey on the 2010 potential presidents was published in an article in the Inquirer today (February 14, 2008). Personally, I agree with the results and I believe that 2010 will be about 4-5 people similar to the 1992 Presidential Elections. It won’t be a polarized fight anymore like in 2004 when it [...]

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano recently said in an interview that LAKAS-CMD is the likely target of poachers especially if they don’t get a good standard bearer for the 2010 Presidential Elections. With every day that passes, this becomes more evident. If you have been reading the broadsheets, there’s always an item for the past weeks [...]

Presidential hopeful Mar Roxas is reportedly considering Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero as his running mate in the 2010 Presidential Elections. Apparently this is the main reason why Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan is having issues with Mar as the standard bearer for the Liberal Party. He’d prefer that Mar runs with someone from the Liberal Party [...]

In a recent survey done by the SWS, De Castro and Villar both got very high ratings. Is this indicative of the 2010 elections? The answer is “No”. The survey was a performance-satisfaction rating and not a “Will I vote for you in 2010″ survey. De Castro had a satisfaction rating of +41 while Senate [...]

Former Senator Ernesto Maceda was right when he said that even the Administration faces the problem of unification. There are so many presidential aspirants and it looks like even more politicians will may their own declarations soon. Based on my personal count, there are around 5 possible candidates for the Administration and 7 for the [...]
