Noynoy: vblog will focus on issues instead of personality

Starting today up to Nov. 27, 2009, the daily activities of Sen. Noynoy Aquino, Liberal Party presidential candidate,can be seen in capsule, in a video blog in his website:www.noynoy.ph.

Speaking from his residence in Times street via video satellite with reporters assembled at the office of Campaigns and Grey, an advertising and public relations firm, Aquino admits to being not so New Media- savvy but said “he is a student by nature.”

He said he recognizes the power of the internet as an important source of information but also sees the need for a balance between “rights and responsibility”.

Yoly Ong, the Aquino presidential campaign’s director for communications said the vblog, which its the first of its kind in the country’s political campaign, will offer an “unscripted and raw look” of Aquino to allow voters to know him better, his advocacies and his platform of governance.

  1. I don’t know if the internet can influence Philippine voters to the extent of providing candidtates with enough leverage to access voters. How many people in the Philippines possess computers or have access to internet?

    Btw, what did he mean by “as an important source of information but also sees the need for a balance between “rights and responsibility”?

  2. I echo EQ’s question: “Where is the platform?”

  3. On The Importance Of A Campaign Platform:

    “Lahat kami iyan lang ang sasabihin.Lahat ng kandidato sasabihin iyan.We will say the same things…we will have the SAME PLATFORM.

    For after all, a platform… dadalawang speechwriters lang iyan tatanungin ka.Anong gusto ninyo, 3-point agenda , 10 point agenda 15 point agenda o 25 point agenda.” Manny Villar

    How about zilching corruption? That is tops in any candidate’s platform.

    What did Money Villar said???????? Ka-level pala ito ni Bong Pababa kung magsalita.

  6. I think I hav premonitions that Noynoy will win.

    Pati ako nahawa…”say” huh!

    E kung tanungin, bakit hindi ilista yung 3-point agenda, etc…

    Bakit nga ba ang respective platform ay iniiwasang i-announce ng mga wannabees? Yan pa mandin ang hinihintay ng marami.

    Please explain. Dehins ko makita ang konek.

    mabuti pa si chiz may sinabi tungkol sa contractual workers mininum wage at utang natin (o nila na lahat tayo magbabayad)kung ano ang gagawin.

  10. Internet rights and responsibility – subtle way of saying “Dapat may censorship sa internet”.

    Kenny’s Antics

    We are just concerned that it seems Ambassador Kenney has once again engaged in another ploy which, like it or not, will put her in a bad light. This is her use of a Noynoy t-shirt while distributing relief goods to a community in Marikina. There is, of course, nothing which prevents Kenny or any US embassy official from wearing such t-shirts. But for it to be openly displayed by a high profile person like Kenney while in the company of victims leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I mean she can do whatever she wants with the t-shirt but why the open display? Is she signaling an expected shift in the political game. If so, what is it? If not, why the public display? We would be happy to receive any explanation from Kenney and her staff on this matter if they so decide. Meantime, Ambassador Kenney should now be true to her word and stop promoting a low intensity secessionism and keep her favorites among the candidates to herself. -Jonathan dela Cruz, Crossroads http://www.tribune.net.ph/commentary/20091111com5.html

    chi,

    The internet has no rules so it is up to individuals to strike a balance between rights and responsibility.

    It is not a call for censorship, as Tongue would have us believe.

  13. chi chi

    Ahh…salamat, tongue. Hindi kasi boldyakin ang gustong sabihin e para malinaw.

  14. chi chi

    mb, thanks…nagbibiro lang yang si tongue. Kuha ko ang estilo ng mama na yan. hehehe!

  15. henry90 henry90

    Manuel is right. My take on the message is definitely not censorship. It speaks of the potency of the internet as a medium to reach out but at the same time is cautious of its enormous responsibility to its subscribers. Fair enough.

  16. To The Campaign Director of Noynoy:

    Instead of being a moral compass, he runs the risk of becoming a tradpol by making political compromises.

    1)jamby as LP senatorial candidate
    2)joey lina for Laguna gov.
    3)edu manzano for LP senatorial slate?

    EQ

  17. chi chi

    Can’t wait to see Noynoy “unscripted and raw look”.

    TE, edu manzano in LP’s list? It hurts to laugh.

  18. AsKal AsKal

    Issues? Really? Very well – where’s Noynoy’s platform.

    Does he need to take a seminar from Nick Perlas? oops… 😀

  19. chi chi

    Masaya yan! But like you, I opined it’s far fetched. Kakain ng alikabok si unana dyan with her almost nada approval rating. The bitch has already planned her political future with her ngiting aso gimmicks. Dun sya sa Lubao, sigurista ang bruha.

    Pero huwag sana kasi may tumba si Kuya Mar kay Erapski, pero kay Gloria ay kayang-kayang itumba.

    platform ba ika nyo? teka,sabi nga ng nanay at tatay ko…

    Kayo naman, part 1 pa lang itong isang vlog na ito. I think there are 12 series of one minute exposure each time. The platform part may be coming in the last episode.

  22. parasabayan parasabayan

    Talaga, Kenney was wearing an Aquino shirt? Baka si Noynoy and napupusuan ng mga Americano. Alam nila na kayang kaya nilang hubugin ang isang ito!

  23. parasabayan parasabayan

    If I heard it right from the “Strictly Politics”, Yoly Ong said that about 18% of voters are internet users.

  24. biyasaku biyasaku

    May presidentiable na ba nagpahayag ng platform? Di po ba madalas linalabas yun kapag campaign period na? And I think Ambassador Kenney was wearing a C2 Collezione My Pilipinas series shirt. Not exactly an “aquino” shirt.
