Are online and offline hate campaigns effective?
As expected, the influence of certain bloggers can now be denied.
Despite all the bashing and scandals unleashed online against candidates such as Herbert Bautista and Noynoy Aquino, including an online hate campaign unleashed against Reyna Elena for supporting Noynoy Aquino, these hate bloggers essentially were spurned by the electorate.
This leads us to this question: Are online and offline hate campaigns effective?
I say, no.
The conventional thinking will probably still be around for a while. What bloggers refuse to understand is that, a clear majority of our population is still impoverished, roughly 60% or more? Their access to online information is still very, very limited.
As I write this entry, I am listening to Manny Villar’s concession speech. He knew that 60%. That’s why the poor message. Noynoy Aquino knew it too. But his poor message resonated more.
In the end, bloggers were preaching to the converted or were effective only in holding on to already established majorities.
That being said, Barrio Siete still called it right and so I, Reyna Elena, your yellow fairy godmother, can now add one more title to my already multi-colored, mile long honorifics.
Ako na ang Bagong Madame Auring.
Holder of two crystal balls.
The left and the right.
An saya!

Brava! Brava! Bravissima Madama Auring!
Ang moral of the lesson boys, and gheys and ghels is hate is so passe, its so five minutes ago, its so Amiel Aguilar “Loser” Cabanlig. Maybe Mike Defensor should remember that, should he make the mistake of trying to run again with his current PR team.
Winner take all.
hahahahah!!! love it! love it! it is sooo 5 minutes ago!
if I were the new government I’d hire you as political strategist. submit mo ang iyong resume and effort portfolio throughout this last campaign. They need to get you in a presidential adviser position! congratulations!
ay! i like! hahaha! i’m waiting for some1 to call me! hahaha
Hindi siya epektib kasi olats si Gordon. HAHAHAHAHA!
Landslide victory si Noynoy.
yeah, farrrr – way far. i think kung halimbawa running 2nd or 3rd sya, siguro maniniwala ako. wala. olatss!
Congrats to Barrio 7 and most especially you Madam Auring for accurately seeing the writing on the wall… tee hee!
hahahaha plus i have advisers left and the right o di ba? truly na cabinet ministers hehe
kakaawa naman mukha ni villar dyan sa pic pic nyang yan.
yan yung literal na mukhang di maipinta kahil ni michael angelo,yan din yung literal na mukha nung sinasabing nalugi hahaha.
pakainin nga ng balot yan at ng magka kulay.
ano lang yan, nasobrahan lang sa datu puti, galing kasi kumain.
Agree ako diyan Reyna, the past week was nerve-wracking but I also learned lessons from some research I have done which made me even more resolute in supporting Noynoy. But as I said in FV, it is time for us to unite in order to support whoever wins (in this case unofficial results points to Noynoy) because as you said 60% of Filipinos are poor and we are all Filipinos and it is only we who can lift ourselves out of this deplorable conditions. I am very happy with the almost peaceful and successful first ever automated voting. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
yeah. compared to past elections, this was better.
Kala kasi uubra ng basta basta ehh. Internet citizens have a small population in our country. Kung mobile sana tsk tsk tsk
they believe in a non-existent influence. feeling lang nila yon. to be honest, they don’t even command that traffic & credibility. worse, the tactic does not work for the undecideds are offline. but even better, offline, negative campaign doesn’t work too! and they didn’t see this coming. hmmm…
@mel, hindi lang olats.., murder talaga! muntik pang talunin ni vetellano acosta, hehe
Gordon concedes. He also asked his volunteers “to support the new government”…

Congratulations noynoy.
to all noynoy and gordon supporters:
be gracious in defeat and humble in victory.
just like you lee i still believe in gordon. it was the best vote that i have ever cast and if the elections were held again today ill still vote for him even if the results would be the same. our votes never went to waste. at least thats how i feel.
again congratulations to noynoy and his supporters. lets rally behind our new president.
“be gracious in defeat and humble in victory..”
totally agree.
after they call us abnoy, tanga, autistic, ngoyngoy etc….
haaaayy, now its our turn to call them. LOS…….wag na lang. hehe
sure it’s sweet to say but. wag na lang
hahaha! i feel you! ang haba nang litanyang binato nila to me!
in the forum im in, green and reds team up to put me down. i held my ground. like a yellow army should
Bitter ocampo!! lalo na sa ka-Villang barrio. Luz Valdez kasi yung mga endorse nila (re: Mike Defensor). Sa susunod kasi, wag mang-api!!!!
people have the right to choice…maaaring may mabasa silang negative or positive to their bet pero siya pa rin ang magpapasya.
ok sana si gordon, kaso parang ung mga tao sa paligid nya ang mali…
the lesson i learned in this election is “you can never put good man down”! lalu na kung ang wawasak ay masahol pa sa putik at burak ang ugali.
god bless the philippines!
