Sneaky campaign tactics

Cebu Daily News6:58 am | Thursday, March 28th, 2013

There certainly is no campaigning today, Maundy Thursday and tomorrow, Good Friday even if Friday, March 29, is the official start of the national and local campaign period.
Cebu candidates have ways of skirting around the regulations as shown in recent days. Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama, for one, said that he didn’t want to make the rounds of barangay centers where senior citizens’ cash assistance was being distributed by City Hall staff.
But lo and behold, several staff of the mayor’s office were there wearing Team Rama T-shirts. We wouldn’t be surprised if the shirts bear the mayor’s slogan “Together We Can Make Things Happen.”
When barangay officials allied with the Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BO-PK) pointed this out and reporters asked Rama, the mayor merely shrugged and said he doesn’t control anyone who wants to wear the Team Rama campaign T-shirt.
This kind of denial is part of the political game. Not that we blame him. His predecessor, former political patron and rival Rep. Tomas Osmeña of Cebu City’s south district had been distributing hopia with the BO-PK and Type O brand.
All over the city, campaign posters clutter public walls. Political ads are aired on TV and radio. Voter courtship happens in the province in different disguises.
Rep. Pablo John Garcia twitted his rival, Liberal Party-Cebu gubernatorial candidate Hilario Davide III, for using his father’s image and title on banners as former chief justice to raise his profile among the Cebuanos.
Look who’s talking, Davide retorted, when Pablo John and his sister Gwen are visiting the whole province in tandem to promote each other’s candidacies—Pablo John for the Capitol, suspended Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia for the third congressional district.
With a battery of lawyers at their disposal, it’s not unusual to see usually upstanding candidates resort to every trick in the book to prematurely campaign for votes knowing that their rivals are doing the same.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will have a tough time enforcing rules on campaign period and finances with candidates using every loophole to maximize facetime with the voting public.
Still it won’t be a surprise if no candidates will campaign today and the next two days. Even politicians need to take a break during the holiest of weeks.
But expect politicians to be visible on Easter Sunday when the official campaign season begins. For now, let’s reflect on Holy Week and decide, among other things, who deserves our votes in May 13.

dapat unta walay mag-campaign kilid sa dalan. maka-cause kaayo ug traffic. i-route2x pa ang mga sakyanan na dili gani magpahibalo.
unsay gamit sa mga sports complex or closed/covered complex sa kada barangay.
