Duterte Cayetano Miting De Avance at Quirino Grandstand

Wazzup Pilipinas!

An estimated 700k people flocked at the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta to attend the Miting de Avance of Rodrigo Duterte and Alan Peter Cayetano. Simultaenously also happening is also a gathering of a mammoth crowd at the Crocodile Farm in Davao.

People were mostly wearing red shirts having printed images of Duterte proudly shown an flaunted for the world to see. I am just not sure if these numbers are really for Duterte since there are also many people who are just curious of what will transpire at the Miting de Avance.

Duterte had a lengthy speech after a song number of Freddie Aguilar who sang a familiar tune but with lyrics customized for Duterte's campaign. Duterte also showed off two of his pretty daughters in the middle of his speech before he ends it with the endorsement of other candidates running for different position which included Amado Bagatsing  for Mayor of Manila, Cesar Montano for the Aangat Tayo partylist, Greco Belgica for Senator, Sandra Cam for Senator, Raffy Alunan for Senator, Francis Tolentino for Senator, Martin Romualdez for Senator, Roman Romulo for Senator, Gen. Santiago for Senator, Gen. Sammy Pagbilao for Senator, the Cancer partylist, ACP Partylist, Global Partylist, PBA Partylist, One Pacman partylist, and a lot more. We also noticed celebrity Julia Barreto on stage. Kat de Castro, daughter of former Vice President Noli De Castro and has an ABS-CBN show of Swak na Swak, was moderating the presentation of candidates.

Surprisingly, he even endorsed Manny Paquiao eventhough Pacman is allied with Jejomar Binay.

It is just a shame that there were fake postings on social media that came out showing off  photos claiming coming from the Duterte-Cayetano event, which were later proven false and merely photos grabbed from other events that happened at different dates. Why do they have to come out with fake photos if their event is really strong? Are these the works of Duterte supporters or the detractors trying to confuse the public?

I must really say that Duterte is crude, rude, harsh, and major disconnect with what he's actually done in Davao, but he now undoubtedly got the people interested with this crazy and lewd style of attitude.

COMELEC Says There's Nothing Wrong With Negative Political TV Ads Involving Children

The TV networks say they complied to the Fair Elections Act which says they would not discriminate in the airing of political ads. Thus they do not admit to any fault with allowing the broadcast of the ad involving children.

"The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) clarified that it does not have the authority to approve political advertisements on television. The poll body only regulates the duration, and not the content, of political ads on TV. However, they find nothing wrong with the ad. "Sa dinami-dami ng mga eleksyon na pinagdaanan natin, ang dami-dami nating nakikita na mga negative ads talaga."

"Grace Poe, a former chairwoman of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), also says there is nothing wrong with the ads using children reacting to what Duterte said."

"Parang yung pagmumura, lewd jokes, and unbelievable promises of change ni Duterte, some people do not find anything wrong with them."

"Yung mali ng pag-gamit ng mga bata nakita ninyo pero yung mali ng pagmumura sa Sto. Papa, pagpapakyu, pagju-joke about rape, pagpilit ng paghalik sa babae hindi niyo nakita?"

"The children were purposely used to hammer the message that they should always be part of the consideration in our choice of leaders of the country not only because it is for their future but also because they will emulate these leaders. Besides, the children were shown in a positive light and all pertinent laws were strictly followed."
