I made a list of politicians who are running for national office in 2010 who have websites. It’s amazing how many of them are now turning to the web to help them win their respective campaigns. I’ll be doing an analysis of their sites in the coming weeks. Check out the list after the break.

My girlfriend logged out of Multiply last night and we were really surprised to see a funny yet weirdly entertaining political advertisement from Senator Mar Roxas. There’s him with his famous Padyak, complete with the young kid on the side car. The Padyak is moving forward and you’re prompted to click on it multiple times [...]

Author’s Note: This is a re-post from my political blog – Juan Country. Published it here because it also has a lot to do with internet marketing. I’ve been hearing about MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando’s latest online gimmick from several friends for the past 2-3 weeks. I finally decided to check it out this weekend [...]

Coming fresh from a coffee session with Senator Manny Villar, I wasn’t expecting to be part of another political blogging event anytime soon. However, I was able to get an invite to another event for another potential contender for the 2010 elections. This time it was the youngest presidential aspirant – Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero. [...]

One of my personal goals is to be able to meet all the aspiring candidates for the Presidency in the upcoming 2010 elections. I’ve already worked with Senator Roxas’ team and I was able to talk to him at length during several events and activities. I was recently invited to join a bloggers coffee session [...]

I was watching TV the other day when I was able to catch Senator Manny Villar’s latest 30 second TVC. I was expecting the same old “trapo” advertisement but I was actually pleasantly surprised with his latest material. His Akala Mo Campaign is catchy, hip, and relevant. What’s most important, I think, is that it’s [...]

I made this short video just this morning to summarize what has been happening with our Facebook Stop Con Ass Movement. I’m very happy to let everyone know that we now have more than 71,000 sign-ups! Only a matter of time before we reach the 100,000 mark. To all the congressmen who voted “Yes” and [...]

Congressman Roilo Golez is a good example of how politicians should use social media in their information drives. In the recent Facebook EB vs Con Ass, Cong. Golez was our guest of honor, and he gave a short speech on how social media can be the prime mover to drive ideas to the “tipping point”. [...]

I was just reading the latest articles on the recently concluded Anti Con-Ass rally on Inquirer.Net. According to the police, this rally had the lowest turnout, around 6,000 based on their estimates. The organizers, on the other hand, claim that they had 13,000-15,000 warm bodies. You got to ask yourself the question: despite all the [...]

A few months ago, I was invited to a forum hosted by the Liberal Party. We had Jo Hansen, US President Obama’s campaign consultant, talk about how Obama won the election. There were a lot of topics covered and it would be one hell of a lengthy post to write everything in just one go. [...]

Around 5 years after the fact, high level government officials are finally learning to embrace technology and new media. An officemate plurked that none other than the President of the Republic of the Philippines, President Arroyo, is now on Twitter. I’m 99% sure this isn’t the real President Arroyo, but at least it looks like [...]

The headlines for today’s Inquirer is about how the number of seats for Party List representatives in Congress will be increased to 55 for the upcoming 2010 elections. This made me think a long while, which led me to do some number crunching and research. In the 2007 Party List elections, all you needed was [...]
