You’re just popular
I got my first bashing as a ‘candidate’.
if you don’t mind my being honest, it doesn’t mean that you have a medyo sikat na blog ay you have the right to run as film representative. one thing i hate about CMC is its fanatical devotion to people who have accomplished nothing but snag a fair amount of fame (infamy?), in your case, online. sad, but seeing the likes of you worthless folks fill important positions in CMC makes me feel everything is lost. please do all of us thinking, silent majority in masscomm a big, big favor: for your and our sake, don’t run. we have enough nincompoops as it is, thank you.

You know, I wouldn’t run if I knew that my only claim to fame and my only credentials are based on my ‘popular’ blog. If there’s one thing lamentable with this line of thought, it’s that it leads one to automatically discredit, without further scrutiny, candidates who have say, “artista” or similar claims-to-popularity factors pre-election times. Also works on the national scale with the ‘thinking class’’ automatic aversion of electing showbiz personalities like Erap or FPJ. If you think that is how I am packaged, so be it for now. There’s more than enough time to prove it otherwise during campaign period.
Also, “nincompoops” wouldn’t be holding positions if only you and your silent majority weren’t so silent in the first place. Makes me wonder why you complain at something which is an offshoot of your own lack of action. Speak up more often, it makes for healthier discussions of issues, and with that, you’ll probably finally get the officials you really want and deserve.
wow grabe, sobrang pareho ang org culture ng ateneo at UP. yun lang masasabi ko.
hmmm..very politician…too many words hehe
very well said.
“it doesn’t mean that you have a medyo sikat na blog ay you have the right…”
THIS discredits everything else he/she had to say.
Aint online anonymity a wondahful thing?
joma, baka mapagkamalan ng mga tao na ikaw nga si secret… pareho lang naman sila ni totoy di ba?
Haha, pinangalanan daw talaga kita. =P
LoL @ Joma (Pero right on ha). Ikaw rin ba si seeeeeeeeecreeeeeet sa tagboard?
As for Victor, *pat pat* on your pre-launch to campaigning. Think of it this way: it wouldn’t be as interesting without the issues/controversies (buti nga isa lang siya). And totoy phrased it wrong. It’s not really your “medyo sikat na blog” that should save you in this elections. For one thing it’ll probably bring you down (this blog? puh-leeze!), but I know you have enough idealism to run the responsibilities and I know you’ve had a reasonably responsible past and a fair share in political dynamics.
CELENI,
“And totoy phrased it wrong. It’s not really your “medyo sikat na blog” that should save you in this elections. For one thing it’ll probably bring you down (this blog? puh-leeze!)”
Hahaha. Nice one.
“but I know you have enough idealism to run the responsibilities and I know you’ve had a reasonably responsible past and a fair share in political dynamics.”
Agree.
SO what if you have a “medyo sikat na blog”? Diba it could even put you down, one way or the other? Sigh politics talaga in the Philippines, it isn’t Politics without all these controversies. Baka naman potential rival mo na itong si totoy sa election? Hehehe… if only I could vote for the Film Rep (eh? I still don’t know if I can or I can’t! Hehehe…) I’d vote for you, at least I’ve seen who you really are and what you’re capable of doing (through this awesome blogs) kesa naman sa mga random anonymous people na puhunang laway at *sigaw* lang ang maibibigay. ; ) Think hard about it, bikoy, and I know you’ll make the right decision. ^__^
Iboto si Bikoy! Iboto!!!
aw. that hurts
Wow, now that was a comment that sort of makes you angry. The way you replied to it was great. I’m just bloghopping and I ended up here. To echo what’s already been said, it’s all part of the show… as you enter politics.
I’ll be graduating soon also from a media-related field, I wish you the best.
Too petty an argument to put a dent on any campaign. Make the decision based on what you want, Bikoy. Remember, you can never please everybody– the important thing is that if you go jump into the election bandwagon, you better do it with conviction otherwise you won’t survive it. Elitista, popular blogger? Shallow? They’ll never run out of criticism so don’t let that sway your decision. Don’t stoop down to their level. Who care what they think? This is YOUR blog so you’re entitled to say whatever it is YOU want.
No amount of blogging can guarantee a student council win. Happy Birthday Vic.
don’t worry about those comments, bikoy. it’s part of black propaganda. masasanay ka rin…
haha. wala lang. i was also invited to run as journ rep. for your party. but i declined the nomination. kanina lang kasi nila sinabi sa akin.
lahat yata naalok na ng position.
hmmm.
next year. [para sayo adie.^_^]
kung sinuman ka man totoy, magpakilala ka.
you don’t know what you’re talking about.
you don’t know vic.
just don’t mind that guy. God bless
Pilipino nga naman, kaya hindi umuunlad, parito’t parine eh may crab-mentality (mud-slinging, etc.) Totoy? Sino nga ba siya. well, kung sino man siya, kumusta ka naman? (Make that “Kumusta ka naman?!, Kumusta ka naman?!”, with a lilting emphasis on “mu-moo”.)
prove em wrong kid.
good luck.
