Gordon: Don't be fooled by surveys, ads

Posted at 02/26/2010 3:41 PM | Updated as of 02/26/2010 3:41 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Richard "Dick" Gordon on Friday took a swipe at 2 of his presidential opponents who have been topping election surveys, urging 50 million Filipino voters to discern deeply their choices for next Philippine president.

"Ang survey na iyan ay ingatan natin... Dapat mag-isip ang tao. (We should be careful with these surveys... People should think)," Gordon said in an interview on ABS-CBN's Umagang Kay Ganda, when asked about his consistently low voter preference in presidential surveys.

Gordon, standard-bearer of Bagong Bayan party, criticized the surveys conducted by Pulse Asia and Social Weather Stations for conditioning the minds of the voters.

He said these surveys sway people from making careful choices, and rob them of their votes.

"Itong eleksyon, mahalaga iyan eh. Kapag pinabayaan mo na hindi ka mag-isip, ninakaw na ang boto mo (Elections is a very important political event. Your vote is already robbed if you stop thinking and depend on surveys)," the senator said.

He also said that he is against the publication of election survey results. He added that surveys should only be used internally by candidates to guide their campaign.

Gordon said that in 2004, he was No. 29 in the senatorial surveys, but he ended up fifth in the actual senatorial race. 

He added that instead of focusing on survey results, people should look at the issues being raised by presidential candidates.

He said voters should not immediately believe candidates' promises. They should also not rely on political ads as the basis for choosing who they should vote for in the elections.

"It's not the survey, but what this [candidate] can do. We should ask somebody like Erap (former president Joseph Estrada), how are you going to lift me from poverty?" Gordon said.

What's wrong with Villar and Aquino

He also said people should look at the positive and negative qualities of candidates, citing as examples, Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Sen. Manuel Villar and Liberal Party's Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.

"Ang isa [Villar], ayaw magpaliwanag sa Senado. Ang isa naman [Aquino], nakasandal sa nanay at tatay (There is one candidate who avoids explaining at the Senate. The other one is dependent on his mother and father)," Gordon said.

Villar has been accused by fellow senators of using his position so that his companies will benefit from the C-5 road project. Aquino, on the other hand, is banking on the good reputation of his late parents, Corazon Aquino and Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

Both candidates have been topping presidential surveys.

Gordon, meanwhile, said that he will not back out of the presidential race despite his poor showings in presidential surveys.

gibo vs. GORDON

Sa mga maka-gibo...

hahahah.... di na tayo nasanay.. we can say all we want, answer as good as we can... just to show how bright we are... pero ala pa napatunayan si gibo.. yes, he's a topnatcher... pero ano na ang nagawa niya para sa bayan.. tinitingnan lang kasi natin "ano ang magagwa para sa bayan", but that's a question na pwedeng sagutin ng puro promises lang.. But with gordon, he'll answer that with his track records. One of his questions sa forum sa skul namin with him was, "ano na ang nagawa mo para sa bayan."... since then i started doing things that benefits my country, although not that big, but with great sincerity... advocacy pa lang kita mo na ang difference, gibo is pursuing the so-called "pagsulong" pero kaninong pangalan ang susulong? "Sulong Gibo". But Gordon is working for a "BAGUMBAYAN".

pag si gibo ang nanalo, for sure, pambayad utang na naman tayong mga pilipino sa kanyang partido...

Dun na tayo sa partido talaga ng tao, yung binubuo ng volunteers talaga, at mkiisa tayo. BAGUMBAYAN is the name..

Gordon for President.

Gaya ng lagi niyang sinasabi,
Make fear your friend!!! wag daw gudluck, dapat God bless!

Ang Pilipinas gusto daw ng pagbabago, pero takot naman humakbang tungo sa pagbabago..
Kung gordon ka na, ituloy mo na yan.. di kelangan mgbago ang isip.. siya lang nman ang may napatunayan na sa laht ng candidates.. kita mo, takbuhan na sa debate mga kalaban, takot malantad eh..

God Bless Philippines!

Nakakalungkot..

Nakakalungkot isipin na ang mga Pilipino ay nadidiktahan ng survey, naunahan ng survey ang isip ng tao.

Lumalabas dalawa hanggang tatlo lang ang naglalaban sa presidential race kahit na pumili na sila ng kanilang kandidato na talagang magaling at may accomplishment.

Ang nangyayari kasi ngayon dahil nga sa survey ang mga ayaw kay Villar ay pumupunta kay Aquino ang ayaw kay Aquino pumupunta kay Villar o kay Erap wag lang manalo si Villar o si Aquino at Erap, kasi nga ang pag iisip ng tao walang panalo ang mga nasa bottom list.

Sa aking pananaw dalawa lang talaga ang may kakayahan na maging presidente ng Pilipinas yan ay si GORDON at GIBO silang dalawa lang ang naglalaban sa galing at talino.

Kaya mga kapwa ko botante nanawagan ako na iboto ninyo ang karapat dapat na maging Presidente sa May 10, wag kayo magpadala o magpadikta sa Survey.

Basta ako at sampu ng aking pamilya GORDON at BAYANI kami, magaling at may napatunayan na!


Survey..

Alam nio marami na akong nakausap na tao tungkol sa darating na election maraming taong nanghihinayang sa kanilang kandidato kasi nga sabi sa survey kulelat ang kanilang kandidato yung iba kay Gibo yung iba kay Gordon yung iba kay Bro. Eddie kaya napipilitan silang pumili sa dalawa o tatlong kandidato kahit labag sa kalooban nila kasi iba ayaw na ayaw kay Villar yung iba yaw na ayaw kay Noynoy o kay Erap kaya napipilitan silang bumoto sa iba para lang wag manalo ung pinaka ayaw nila.

Sa US karaniwan lang ang survey kasi dalawa lang ang naglalaban, dito sa Pilipinas hindi pwede yan kasi maraming kandidato kawawa ang walang pera para mag pa survey.

Masasabi ko na ang survey ay isang panglilinlang o pandaraya sa isipan ng mga botante kaya dapat ipagbawal para makapag isip ng malaya ang mga tao.

Again Gordon Is Wrong

It is not the survey per se that is the problem in this country, but the people cunducting the so-called surveys. The original objective of any honest to goodness survey is the to get an idea of the public's sentiments, though still not regarded as facts. However, people running the surveys can be influenced, swayed, coerced and tempted by money, party affiliation and family relationship. There, is where the Pinoy Nation should grow. To say that survey is bad, that's barking on the wrong tree. What Gordon can do is reveal the people behind these surveys so voters would know. Don't just generalize, we are not all stupid! When he should say, if a so-called survey result is tainted by bias, it is not a survey at all but "tsismis". And he should reveal the names and prove his point. Huwag dakdak lang ng dakdak, kaya din ng ordinaryong mamamayan yan.


If Filipino voters are stupid voters to elect wrong candidate!

This is the reality of elections in the Philippines. Majority are riding on the current of the river. Kung saan ang direction ng agus ng tubis doon na rin sila as what they have relied about the fooling surveys. These survey firms are profits-oriented business na kung sino nagbigay ng malaking pera para gumawa ng surveys in their favor susundin nila to gain profits even at the expense of the Filipino people. Ang mga tao rin mga tamad na botante ayaw suriin ng mabuti kung sino sa mga politico na mga magaling magnakaw na dapat iwasan at huwag iboto. Silay’y nagpapaka bulag at bingi resulting to electing a wrong candidates. Sila pa ang mas maraming angal sa mga kalye nag pro-protesta laban sa goberno umaangal laban sa kahirapan.

See our history, Always happened and happened. The last 1998 when Erap had topped almost all poll surveys conducted, he lead the candidates who were running for presidency. Who remembered here when former PCSO Chairman Manoling Morato filed his candidacy to presidency to give the people other alternative and to contribute reducing Erap chance to victory, he even tried to had shown through public how Erap and his buddy Atong Ang playing Casino inside un identified hotel in Manila? Nationwide, Erap was known, until now, the philander, the gambler and drunkard. Binoto pa rin ng majority. Means Filipino people allowed Erap whatever his vices to rule the country for good or worst. During his tenure as President, Erap was discovered by people in media, the investigative journalism, had simultaneously erecting numerous multi-million mansions to his mistresses(kabit) then the people troops to streets crying foul against Erap wrong doings up to EDSA II that toppled him?

If Filipino people never learn the lesson from the past and not getting mature to search and scrutinize candidate’s back ground before going to vote, the Country has no chance to elect a good leader.


2010 Political Game Play for the Year of the Split Tiger

Philippine elections are particularly interesting to observe compared to other countries' elections because the five fundamental dynamic elements are usually present. For those familiar with Feng Shui and psychology, its game cards are easy to see:

Unlike the two-party American "gay" system, and the one-party Chinese "autistic" system, the multi-party Filipino "schizophrenic" system shows the full spectrum of the Five Elements (Wu Xing), like the female mind. The Philippines can be compared to a Black Widow spider or a Praying Mantis that bites off the head of its mate after sex and eats it to nourish her children. So the female often loves the bisexual because "he" is often willing to serve "his" head on a silver platter, like a suicide bomber, leading the family like the Headless Horseman. The true male considers it to be crazy, stays away and develops "autism." Thus, the Philippines will often search for a "bisexual" leader, unlike Chinese President Hu Jintao who is an "autistic" engineer.

However, in this year's election, the "bisexual" vote is split between Erap and Villar, which allows a male "autistic" candidate like Noynoy to increase his chances of winning. The inner male voice of the female also thinks about stability and trustworthiness, and unfortunately, the bisexual is often unreliable and dishonest because "his" head offering might be a magical box trick, mimicking the Wizard of Oz. So sometimes she picks the nerd over the romantic lover when she feels like going straight. But she can be split about the numerous inner voices that silently speak to her, so she may become indecisive, develop a "split mind" or become "schizophrenic."

It is not only the female who has the five basic gender minds or voices within her conscience. All five genders have these five elements in their conscience or minds. And even all the "races" have the characteristics or traits of all five genders. In other words, there are five gender breeds (i.e. Yellows, Small Browns, Blacks, Whites and Big Browns) which correspond to the five genders. And within each "race," there are five actual genders. Of course, within each gender, there are five gender minds. These all come in different degrees with an infinite number of combinations, which makes each individual unique yet similar using five-element organization.

In the end, people will decide on everything that they do based on their gender minds, gender and gender breed. They will think of the needs of the multiple genders within themselves and act on these needs. As Freud believes, everything is motivated by sex.

They will all desire and avoid relationships with each other, following the "harmony" and "conflict" lines or game "rules" of the five-pointed star or Pentacle of Kung-Fu Tzu (Confucius), which looks like a Filipino Christmas parol, originally patterned after Chinese or Japanese paper lanterns. Each gender sits on one of the tips of the star, and both the star and the circle around it show how the genders love, hate, help, poison and kill each other.

The game guidelines though are broad and dynamic, as harmony can produce conflict (or vice-versa), or as "good" sheep can become "evil" goats (or vice-versa). Consequently, the Chinese script for the word "crisis" and "opportunity" is exactly the same. Similarly, the words "goat" and "sheep" have the same Chinese pictogram.

This dynamic game interplay of yin and yang can be described in the Wu Xing ecology model, where the amount, perspective and timing or circumstance of the Elements are significant. Water, for instance, nourishes trees (Wood), but too much Water or flooding will rot and destroy Wood just as males are nourished by females but their continuous presence may irritate or annoy them. However, Earth absorbs the excess Water, just as lesbians court females. Eventually, if the female is influenced, she becomes bisexual as Earth and Water concentrate to produce mineral resources ("Metal"). Metal may chop down trees, but if metal is used carefully, it can craft wood to fine furniture just as Shaolin monks learned mental discipline and the practical use of martial arts from Buddhist and Hindu Indians. Water may also extinguish fire, but in small amounts, water simply relaxes the fire, just as females may neutralize fiery gays in their social presence, or just like clergymen baptizing militants in Living Water. A wildfire though may destroy forests, just like gays sodomizing males, but mild atmosphere-filtered sunshine is beneficial to trees, just as Asian men may sport fashionable neckties and body-fit Western shirts, tucked into European business pants that show the contour of their buttocks to other men, who eventually become customers or business partners.

Thus, all presidential candidates will roughly follow this common political symbol or pattern in the election game. And at the end of the day, whatever the election results may be, people will be able to roughly see a statistical supercollider "x-ray" of the Philippines' state of mind or mental health, which may enable future leaders to heal the world and make it a "better" place.

People will learn. From the "male," they learn how to think. From the "female," they learn the "divine" nature of the five voices. From the "lesbian," they become "down to earth." From the gay, they dream big. And from the "bisexual," they learn self-sacrifice and love. So let the games begin!

Bravo Gordon! but...

"Ang isa [Villar], ayaw magpaliwanag sa Senado. Ang isa naman [Aquino], nakasandal sa nanay at tatay (There is one candidate who avoids explaining at the Senate. The other one is dependent on his mother and father)," Gordon said

Right in the butt! Well said Mr. Gordon but I like Gibo better.
