Gibo aims to catch up with new TV ads
MANILA, Philippines - The Lakas-Kampi will start fighting for airtime against the leading presidential candidates of other parties.
The ruling party intends to pour money for the television ads of its standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro, who is trailing behind three other candidates in presidential surveys
With two months to go before the election, young voters are increasingly the target of Teodoro's campaign.
Teodoro was in Butuan City Thursday campaigning in schools and universities.
Young voters are also the thrust of a new set of TV advertisements that the campaign will release next week.
Teodoro's spokesman Mike Toledo said their strategy is based on findings that show Teodoro has a stronger appeal among the youth.
"Sinasabi sa ads na iyan na nagpapatunay na ang mga estudyante, ang kabataan, na sila ang karamihan ng magiging botante sa darating na halalan. Fifty-two percent of the voting population will come from the youth, sila ay naniniwala kay Gibo," Toledo said.
The new ad campaign is expected to begin Monday and run until the end of the campaign period.
Toledo said this should put to rest any doubts that the ruling party is not fully behind its presidential candidate.
"We will saturate the airwaves with all these advertisements saka mga mensahe. Kung ano ang maximum under the law, uubusin namin lahat iyan," he said.
Gibo still trails
Teodoro has a lot of campaigining to do. Surveys show that he is still trailing behind his three major opponents--Sen. Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III of the Liberal Party, Sen. Manny Villar of the Nacionalista Party, and former President Joseph Estrada of the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP).
Much of the problem has been a lack of exposure.
Since the campaign period officially began, Teodoro has had almost no TV ads, unlike his opponents who have used more than half of the allowable airtime give to them.
But if Teodoro's campaign is finally taking off, it's not the same story with the ruling party's senatorial slate.
Senatorial candidate Raul Lambino said he has received almost no support from Lakas-Kampi.
This was not the case in the mid-term election in 2007, where Lakas candidates spent over P1 billion on TV ads.
Toledo admitted there have been funding problems, but added that these have been resolved.
"There was a problem in the release pero ganon talaga sa kampanya, it's not perfect," he said.
But whatever the fate of the Lakas-Kampi senatorial candidates, on Monday, when the new ad campaign begins, Toledo expressed confidence that Teodoro's numbers finally would take off.

Mga kababayan narito na naman ang grupong nagpahirap sa atin ng halos isang dekada. Huwag natin kalilimutan ang ginawa ng LAKAS-KAMPI kung paano nila DURUGIN ang IMPEACHMENT laban kay BUWAYANG GLORIA.Kung paano nila maniobrahin kasabwat ang MILITAR ang resulta ng eleksyon noong 2004. Ang “ HELLO GARCI “ ay malaking dagok sa sambayanan para iluklok ang mandaraya at pekeng PRESIDENTE na si GLORIA. PANAWAGAN sa mga KABATAAN imulat natin ang kaisipan sa grupong ito. Ang LAKAS-KAMPI sa pangunguna ni GIBO ay bangungot sa sambayanan sa mahabang panahon. Huwag na natin ibalik sa poder ang mga ito. Ang mga ANOMALYA na ginawa nila ay hindi mapapatawad kahit kailan. Huwag paniwalaan kung ano man na matatamis na mga pangako na bibitiwan nila. Lahat ng pangako ay gagawin nila para lang makuha ang inyong simpatiya. Ang mga nasa likod niyan ay mga TUTA ni BUWAYANG GLORIA na sina PUNO, PICHAY at marami pang iba. Mga KABATAAN sa darating na botohan IBAGSAK natin sila. Sila ang mga ANAY sa lipunan na dapat PUKSAIN sa pamamagitan ng ating BOTO. MABUHAY TAYO!!! "

flashback: Serge Osmena won Senate seat because of effective ads
Former Senator Sergio Osmena was the first to prove that a candidate for a national post can win using campaign ads on tv. But Congressman Prospero Pichay also proved that campaign ads alone cannot win a national post. The difference is credibility. Osmena's credibility came through in the ads he put out. Pichay's trapo politics came through in his ads.
Look at that high-tech looking ad of Senator Bong Revilla. Nice but lacking in substance. He just praised the Filipino which is good, but does not tell of what he has accomplished as senator, which is A BIG FAT INCONSEQUENTIAL ZERO.
Former Senator Ralph Recto also has a high-tech ad which is good if you are running for an executive post like president or vice president (which i am sure is in his plan) but not a match for senator. His accomplishments when he was senator were mediocre.
I have had enough of Senator Miriam Santiago and her ballistic antics. Those tirades of hers have the quality that are the reverse of redeeming value. Those quirks effectively negate whatever accomplishment she is able to do.
I have also had enough of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile. Please retire already. Let the younger and also competent ones prove their worth now.
ABS-CBN Gising Na!
Sana mamulat na sa katotohanan ang ABS-CBN. Sana hindi lang lagi utang-na-loob sa administrasyon ni dating President Corazon Aquino ang lagi konsiderasyon. Sana mag-isip kayo kung sino talaga ang karapat-dapat na maging presidente sa Pilipinas. Sana pakinggan ninyo ang boses ng mga kabataan. Huwag naman kayo lagi bias at si Ngoyngoy lang lagi binabandera ninyo. Please compare and consider G1BO versus Ngoyngoy. Sino ba sa kanila ang most certified na magiging president sa Pilipnas in terms of qualification and achievements in government services?
Please huwag naman kayo lagi magiging ABiaS-CBN! Election lang eto at lumilipas after two months. Kredibilidad dapat ang una ninyong isalang-alang.
Sa mga kababayan natin iboto natin ang karapat-dapat na tao. Vote for Gilbert “G1BO” Teodoro.

Kailan ba natapos ang cycle ng corruption?
Can anyone of you guarantee that corruptions will stop or end in the next government? Even in the next 20 years? Kahit saang sulok ng mundo ay kalat ang sakit na ito, ang iba lang ay magaling magtago, mga Abnoy!
So, if nobody can, then the hell with you but i'll take my chances with a person with a lot of "FIREPOWER" than a dumb!
Kahit saang LUPALOP
Kahit saang lupalop pa nanggaling ang nalalaman ni GIBO, hindi PRUWEBA yan para manalo siya. Sa kangkungan at sa burak pa rin siya pupulutin. Tandaan natin na ang grupong LAKAS-KAMPI ang dumurog sa IMPEACHMENT laban sa AMO nilang BUWAYANG GLORIA. Huwag natin kalilimutan ang " HELLO GARCI " kasabwat ang militar para iluklok ang GANID sa kapangyarihan na si GLORIA. Huwag tayong magbulagbulagan sa mga anomalya sa panahon ni GLORIA. Kinonsente ni GIBO at ng barkada niya ang pandarambong sa kaban ng bayan ni BUWAYANG GLORIA. Kahit anong talino pa ang gagawin mo hindi malilimutan ng bayan ang mga kasalanan ng grupong ito. Sumalangit nawa........

In all competitions the winner is declared at the end of the contests, not at the start, not in the middle and not even at the last minute. Sa basketball, kahit favorite na manalo ang isang team dahil mukhang malakas at may pom pom girls pa, pero kapag nagtiyaga na lumaban ang kabilang team, may galing at talino, it is still possible to get that winning shot until it is officially declared over. Kaya hindi pa huli ang lahat, join us at www.gibo.ph for a new hope and bighter future.
