I hope mr. Rex Cortes would reconsider the idea of airing his “aso” jingle for some reasons:
1. The jingle was done in bad taste and is a black propaganda against Angara, Sotto, and Oreta. This is an election, it should be won with doable and achievable platforms and principles, and not by some bad taste jingle discrediting the image of some of the candidates.
2. It would paint an image on the opposition that they have no alternatives to what the administration has been offering that is why they resort to such black propaganda.
3. The cliché proves to be correct: sa mata ng bata, lahat ng gawa ng matanda lagging tama. I do need to qualify the principle such propaganda can teach to the youth.
4. Ever heard of Sympathy votes? During the 2004 elections, too many people underestimated FPJ due to his lack of educational degree. I was one of them. And too many of these people have aired such underestimation (I am also one of them) and I think too many people where persuaded by their conscience to vote for FPJ, who just rolled with the punches and kept mum about such underestimation, and thought that governance is also about compassion. This sentiment, I think, was caused by the people’s sympathy over FPJ. Same thing could happen today.
5. Contrary to the popular belief, I think, politics is not dirty; it is on how the people in politics run the system that makes politics dirty. It is like a motor engine; use refined fuel on it and it will run smoothly; use unrefined fuel would make the engine dirty. Such jingle would prove that my belief is correct and such dirt will not be attributable to politics, but to the person employing such dirty tactics.
