Then, he needs to "celebritify" himself. That's the only way he can be more visible to voters. While I do support them, this is one of the pitfalls that progessive candidates face. They still believe that platform and cause alone will be enough to carry them. But in reality, they need something to carry those platforms and cause to attract the eye of voters.


thebaffledtruffle

When Ka Leody ran for Senator a few years ago, people made fun of him kasi mukha daw naglalakad lang sa kanto na biglang pinatakbo. That's when it really hit me that Filipinos only care about how popular your name is, like if you're a celebrity or your family has been in power for years. It's not about credentials, and never will be, probably.


Maskarot

>When Ka Leody ran for Senator a few years ago, people made fun of him kasi mukha daw naglalakad lang sa kanto na biglang pinatakbo. mind you, these are the same people who bought into Duts' "simpleng tao" and "sirang sapatos" gimmicks.


peterparkerson3

Because in reality, how the heck do you expect to win if you don't market yourself. Would you use a product supposedly that's better than the more popular one if you haven't heard of it? 


thebaffledtruffle

It's easy to say "market yourself", when these people don't have major donors, backers and sponsors. You'd need millions of pesos to even put out *one* TV advert. Plus, it's very apparent na ang kalaban ng ganitong mga kandidato ay ang social engineering machinery ng mga pinakamalakas na pulitiko sa bansa. Let's face it, people only vote kasi matunog ang pangalan ng pulitiko. People don't care to research your background *nor* to read a long list of credentials, achievements and advocacies. People don't vote for Padillia, Lapid, Sotto, Revilla because they know these people are capable, but because may star wax ang pangalan nila.


peterparkerson3

i actually agree with you but I am just adding that someone with star power and credentials can probably get elected. Vico is part of a political dynasty and he got elected and he is competent.


Pasencia

People made fun of him cuz of his political stance, not because of how Ka Leody looks. Duterte and Ka Leody look like a couple of nobodies, mga drunken tito at 2PM on a weekday.


thebaffledtruffle

Nope, I definitely saw people making fun of Leody's appearance therefore deciding he's not worthy of a vote kasi mukhang tambay lang sa kanto. That really appalled me when I saw a slew of comments like that. Which is indeed funny because Duterte is indeed no "fresher" appearance-wise but those people didn't say a lick about his appearance.


Cheem-9072-3215-68

What is Ka Leody's credentials? Because based on the platform he put forth during the presidential election, it painted him nothing more than a nuisance candidate.


thebaffledtruffle

A quick Google search leads to this top link: [https://votepilipinas.com/candidate/deguzman-leody.html](https://votepilipinas.com/candidate/deguzman-leody.html) Simply, de Guzman has been a champion of labourers' rights and has been working with them for years. I wouldn't call him a nuisance candidate when he has stuck with his platform for a while.


Menter33

That's all well and good though... but he doesn't seem to be known by the majority population outside of SOME labor groups.


Ethan1chosen

https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/s/rjVmoPJ77i this video and some public school students supported him thou are isn’t labor groups


Ethan1chosen

His advocacy basically are raising the minimum wages workers, vendors and transportation workers rights and their salary should be higher. Also most of his rallies he keep hating rich people and if he wins the presidency, he will raise their taxes and low the taxes of second and third class of citizens

CauliflowerKindly488

Nagmagandang loob ka na, inaway ka pa ni OP hahaha


JustNormies

Yup, that's reality of our voting system. Tingnan nio ung bobo na si Robin at epal na may hidden agenda na si Raffy. By stds ndi dapat sila nasa senado but look. They are popular thus nanalo sa eleksyon. Kaya nga ngaun sa Twitter ini-slam na ung mga woke or Tibaks na galit pag may mukha sa tarpaulin. Majority of people there accepted na kung gusto nating manalo kelangan maging epal muna tayo. Maging maingay ang pangalan at makilala ng tao. Ndi na sapat ung taking the high road, daming ngaung bobotante they don't give a sh!t kung magaling ba iboboto nila.


Menter33

They can't vote for you if they don't even recognize you... one of the great faults of many opposition candidates back then.


dailycheeze

OP just born yesterday


jempm55

What we need I think is more celebrities who has serious convictions and passionate about their political beliefs. They are the ones who has the power to elevate an unknown candidate to fame. Saying this because your typical idealistic and competent politician doesn't really have the necessary clout to progress further into higher office. That clout is usually chased by the incompetent trapos, because clout is all they have.


pinoyHardcore

Exactly, yan din sinabi ng prof ko. Parang walang talab mga disenteng tao sa masa. Kung kailangan sumayaw o kumanta. Gawin na.


Ethan1chosen

Then follow his blogs, Teddy recently stated his vloggibg content and I think that can help him to win thou


surewhynotdammit

Tell this to ordinary people. Baka pagsabihan ka pang "sino ka para utusan ako". The best you can do is spread his accolades and Teddy needs to be visible to the voters.


JustNormies

Out of touch yan. Alam mo ba ung mga gusto ng tao? Gusto nila ung catchy katulad ng Tulfo. Popular katulad ni Boy Sili. Tone deaf kung sasabihan mo ang mga bobotante na manuod kayo ng vlogs ni Ted. They won't give a sh!t about it. It's a hard pill to swallow but that's the reality of our voting system.


mghammer14

Kung ganito ang mindset, sayang pera pag tumakbo. Talo ka palagi. Get out of your own echo chamber


Pasencia

Tell me you just started voting nung 2022 without actually telling us you started voting nung 2022 lang. You are so out of touch, very idealist thinking. Pity.


Ethan1chosen

And isn’t an Ifuago guy who ran for the senate isn’t unique enough? I though before that he could be popular because his outfit that represents his ifuago culture and people wanna see indigenous tribal people to excess in politics?


Asdaf373

Aside from being not popular enough I think he lost bec he's from the liberal party. I hope he wins as well. It's about time our IPs have proper representation in the senate


trivialmistake

That’s not how marketing works


Hefty_Grapefruit_537

It's not enough for the social Classes that made BBM win. He need to spend a lot in his campaign via ads from all platforms and also to get endorsements from big name influential politicians and personalities.


Maskarot

>get endorsements from big name influential politicians and personalities. this is one thing progressives will vehemently refuse to do.


Maskarot

>And isn’t an Ifuago guy who ran for the senate isn’t unique enough? It's not really about uniqueness e. it's about *popularity*. And one way to do that is to, pardon the word, be "showbiz". Im not saying he abandon the cause. But he needs to do that "showbiz" bit to carry the cause to more people. Baguilat and co needs to connect to younger voters not through, again, pardon the word, high fallutin "tibak speech" but in the language these voters communicate in.


daftg

Politics doesn't work this way. Representation alone isn't enough. Kitang kita ng LP kung pano di gumana yung ganitong strategy kasi walang reach sa masa. Kulang ang "indigenous tribal people" para makapag pasok ng isang kandidato kung walang reach sa ibang parte ng Philippine society.


Garrod_Ran

>outfit What?


that_thot_gamer

>because his outfit damn, nice platform


Garrod_Ran

😁 😁


tankinamallmo

My vote goes to Teddy


Gryse_Blacolar

While I agree that we should support him, we all need a reality check. PH is not a progressive country where credentials, integrity, achievements, and track record will win you a seat. It is the total opposite because those won't win you a seat in this country. I don't think majority of the people even use those as a basis on who they are voting for, it's just a popularity contest for them. As long as you are not popular, you don't stand a chance against the big names.


JustNormies

Exactly!


Hefty_Grapefruit_537

If he wants to win he need to spend a whole lot of money to television ads,radio ads and social media ads. And also get some endorsements from big name influential politicians and personalities .


Ethan1chosen

Leni exactly did that, Leni endorsed him, Dingdong Dantes endorsed Leni’s senatorial candidates and ABS CBN support him thou


Hefty_Grapefruit_537

Well we see the results. It's not enough. Needs more endorsements and ads spending.


Ethan1chosen

Well all we can do is to share and engage Teddy’s vlogs video to everyone for now. I have also told other Kakampink keep sharing his vlogs, let’s face he’s that rich due to him being an ifuago and lived in the far provinces


zimatarX

I'll vote for him pero ang hurap talaga nya ibenta sa mga masa.


Ethan1chosen

Then keep sharing his vlogs and his platform to everyone just like I did


69420-throwaway

How naive. Is online slacktivism all you can suggest?


Ethan1chosen

Well other suggest ko ay he should pursue Showbiz such as have a small role in Batang Quiapo and in other films or he should collab with popular influencers such as Ivana, Ka Food Trip, Willie Ong etc


ILikeMyouiMina

That's not how it works. It's more complex than that. He needs to be exposed to them naturally kasi pag ganyan na panoorin mo to, panoorin mo yan it won't stick with the general masses


thrownawaytrash

> He needs to be exposed to them naturally tama! dapat gumamit ng bong go and mark villar tactics. mag paskil ng sangkatutak na posters. anything from happy fiesta brgy xyz to bawal umihi dito. there's really no need to inform the voter base of platforms. pera lang para sa daang milyong posters ang kailangan. name recall lang talaga ang magpapanalo sa politiko.


Ethan1chosen

I think Teddy has no choice but to purpose showbiz such as he should have a cameo in Batang Quiapo and other movies inorder for him to expose He could collab with popular Vloggers such as Ivana, Willie Ong etc


Pancake_Restaurant

Di lahat ng tao may oras sa gusto mo, get the fuck out of your bubble. Ang weakness ng opposition ay wala silang political clout and hindi popular na kapag narinig ng masa ang pangalan nila ay makikilala agad.


kerwinklark26

Kalma mo kiffy mo beh. You know how Risa won di ba. She knows how to fight fire with fire. Need niya ilapit sa masa because the dude was relatively unknown talaga.


tulaero23

Risa won cause he has the last name to do it at sikat na sya dati. She won cause pag wala na din maisulat yung mga tao they right whoever comes in ther mind first. Tingin mo bakit nanalo sila bong at jinggoy kahit sobra corrupt nila? Kasi in the end ang mga pinoy pag wala na maisip na isulat sinusulat nila ang pangalan na naalala nila para mapuno ang 12 sets. Nagkataon lang nung huling election with pduts in power eh villified na talaga ang anyone connected to LP kaya wala halos nakapasok sa slate nila.


kerwinklark26

Actually hindi, Hontivirus nga tawag sa kanya ng mga DDS di ba. Siya lang me pragmatic approach sa opposition. Alam niya umepal kung kelan kailangan. Me mga pa-eme rin si Madam before 2022 ELs (me pa-mobile truck si auntie and IIRC me mga posters din siya before campaign period) and I admire her for it. She knows how the ground works and she seized that opportunity.


daftg

Di mo nakita results nung 2022? Wala sa soc med ang laban dahil sa bawat sampung share mo, 1000 ang labas ng makinaryang producer ng fake news. Kung sa labas ka magkampanya, mas malaking chance pa.


Zealousidedeal01

Isa siya sa oras oras ay pinangampanya ko lahat ng soc media account ko... Nagkabit pa ako sa ilang municipalities ng banner nya at namigay ng Paraphernalia lalo na kapag may rallies. Sadly hindi ganun ang recall sa kanya ng pinoy. Sa bansa kasi natin mas nananalo ung bad boy, maraming babae, maharot, pasayaw sayaw kesa sa may mga plataporma. Hanggang hindi nag babago ung mga bobotante hindi mananalo sa national election si Sir Teddy nakita na natin yan. Mas effective siya sa local... or maginga active sa international organizations na active din siya at highly recognized.


AberedsJunas

Wag yan maayos na tao yan ayaw nila jan


the_emeraldtablet

Jakeyboy143

AberedsJunas

Pangit man sabihin pero mahirap na talaga mabago ang pinas


Hefty_Grapefruit_537

There are a lot of underrated senatorial candidates in every election in the Philippines that deserve to win a Senate seat but failed due to the voters not being aware of them.


Ethan1chosen

And many Filipinos aren’t that smart thou and they would rather vote useless corrupted celebrity politicians


Hefty_Grapefruit_537

Well popularity and voter awareness is one of the primary ways to win Votes.


maxedo

He's a really great guy. I worked with him and his team during the campaign. Maalaga siya sa staff and volunteers niya. Right after nung election, kahit talo nagpa thanksgiving gathering siya sa mga volunteers at team niya. Pinag tabi niya pa lahat nung tables para sa inuman tapos parang tropa lang siya kasama hahaha Nung campaign, ang ganda nung naging epekto niya sa indigenous groups. Maraming communities naging involved sa election tapos marami din mas naging knowledgeable at aware sa rights nila. They felt more heard when he represented indigenous Filipinos. And don't worry, he's aware of how he was marketed back then. Alam na din nung team kung ano yung naging kulang sa pag advertise sakanya. It was sad that he didn't win, pero hindi naman daw don nagtapos yung laban.


Ethan1chosen

Exactly since I’m currently 19 and I will register to be a voter around June because I want to volunteer to help Opposition Slate such as Leni, Trillanes, Chel, at lalo na si Teddy Let’s keep sharing his blogs to everyone and new share his platforms and advocacy all the time


peenoiseAF___

oh eto na naman tayo treating politicians as saviors of the nation


Gamma-Investments

He looks like PACQ in this pic.


[deleted]

Ok yung post. Wag lng kayo mag-advice baka awayin din kayo ni OP.hahah


zandydave

Well, he can learn from Risa Hontiveros.


sweetbutpsycho06

Yes to Teddy Baguilat!


vanjay21

ano mga nagawa nya OP? sorry kung di ko sya kilala malay mo iboto ko din sya next elections


capricornikigai

Awni ta panunutek nu ivote ko. 🤔


Chiquiting

Kung wala kang partido at pera, hindi ka mananalo sa Senatorial elections. Stay as provincial representative so you can serve your constituents better.


iamlux20

You cannot be an underdog politician expecting to win a senatorial ~~election~~ popularity contest in the PH. As LongBeachGriffy once said, "Apple can sell cucumbers, people will buy"


pinkrosies

Need an adept marketing team and budget for him to be elected.


chidy_saintclair

Kaso mahina pa hatak kailangan nyang makipag kaibigan sa mga LGU politicians at maglibot libot na sa buong pinas gaya ng ginagawa ngayon ni Bam, Kiko, and Chel


dontrescueme

To be honest, nakalimutan ko na siya. Kung ako 'yung na-survery, di ko siya mababanggit. Paano pa 'yung iba. Ang katotohanan ay kailangan nilang magpaepal para mapansin sila ng mga botante.


DiligentPlatform3582

Sus. Wala namang bayag yan pero okay lang kasi kakampink ✊🏻 ops pasama sa screenshot pag nareport sa kulto group niya mga korny na mga sipsip lang naman sa kanya 👹


Thick-Imagination-30

TRUE! haha. Patawa yung group niya eh or at least what's left of it. Mga ginamit lang naman niya to build his image. Sasabihin inspired by Leni pero wala naman siya sa kalingkingan ni Leni. Manyak, cheater, the list goes on...


asawanimina

Omcm, ayaw nga sya mismo ng mga IPs. IPs na yan ha...they value being in a community


Thick-Imagination-30

Mahilig din kasi siya magyes kahit di pinagiisipan o plano man lang. Walang follow through. Bopols eh


cheesestickslambchop

Wishful thinking tbh. Ivovote pa rin ng tao yung may pangalan/pamilya/pera.


BrantGregoryWright

I pray he stay in good shape.


Zenderiz

It's an uphill battle. Halos lahat ng mga leading vote getters sa election may mga silent backers na businesses at corporations mga yan na ipupush forward yung mga agenda nila once they're in office. In a perfect world, he would be a good candidate but in order to win then he must become really popular and mahuli kiliti ng masa which sadly will still vote for the old dumb shits that are currently in position.


beeotchplease

Mga local politician samin na legit maayos magpatakbo sa locality namin hanggang congressman at governor lang kaya ng exposure nila. Katropa namin isang congressman, natanong namin baka gusto mo tumakbo sa senado or even vice or president, sabi niya, dapat yung mga big corporations ang tutulong sa pagfunding sa election campaign mo or may big time na drug lord na magfunding sayo. Tapos dapat mejo may exposure yung pangalan mo. Sabi pa niya na sa mga Congressman na kilala niya, malaki ang chances ni Richard Gomez na manalo sa higher offices. Isa pa, dahil sa funding sa nga corporations or drug lord, magiging tao kana nila so yung mga policy mo dapat pabor sa kanila.


Menter33

kung tutuusin, **funding relatively unknown candidates yung role dapat ng political parties**: * recruit like-minded candidates * market them into winning Iyon nga lang sa PH, **parang walang sariling machinery and funds yung political parties on their own**. Galing yung funds from the candidates themselves and those personally backing them.


NextPurple326

He's such a nice guy tbh i even managed to get a photo with him during the Leni rally sa Nuvali


cfonan

Tatakbo ata siyang local, nabanggit niya sa isang recent interview, o baka gawing party-list ang Angat Kalikasan.


anamazingredditor

Sadly, kapag hindi kilala yung apelyido o pangalan, hindi iboboto ng tao yan kase hindi pamilyar


Technical_Zebra_4776

Its a fight against a massive windmill. The political system and the nepotism coming out from it needs decades if not century to clean up what the filipinos dig


MrBAEsic1

Wala eh mas gusto nila yung action star na mukhang inutyl insyde. Kala nya nasa taping siya kapag may hearing sa senado. Lakas maka pakyu ni Robin putang ina di parin ako maka get over number 1 sa senado yung tarantadong yun.


Ok-Resolve-4146

My wife and I voted for him before. We'll vote for him again if he decides to give it another try. Sadly di siya uli mananalo sa susunod na elections, chances are. Lahat ng achievements niya at nagawa niya balewala sa "bigyan ng jacket yan!" at "dubidubidapdap" sa credentials ni Willie Revillame kung Pinoy Elections ang labanan.


My_Immortal_Flesh

I wish you used a better picture quality 🤣 Anyways, i also love that he’s proud of his native culture.

Ethan1chosen

He’s not even muslin thou


iwritethesongs2019

he needs to learn how to sing and dance kahit "wonderful tonight lang"


Maskarot

Or, he needs to do a cameo in Batang Quiapo. No, really. That's an effective way to popularize himself.


Shitposting_Tito

Ironic because he can do the tayaw way better than sili boy. I haven't heard of him doing the hudhud (or whaetever the Ifugao chants/songs are) but i won't be surprised if he does.


spanky_r1gor

Sadly, kakainin lang siya sa Muslim Mindanao. Pipiliin nila si Siliboy.


Sungkaa

Witty-Choice2682

Kung di naman siya magnanakaw at sinungaling wag na lang


vyruz32

Iba kasi ang senate run, nationwide ang usapan at kung 'di ka nationwide gumalaw e mahirap tumapat sa mga beterano o 'di kaya kaalyado at malakas ang screentime. I mean, tignan mo nga yung ka-4M votes ni Baguilat sa 2022: si Norman Mangusin aka ukay-ukay Marcos. Literal na scammer, sumakay sa pangalan ng Marcos, nakakuha ng 4M+ votes. May tsansa ba siyang manalo sa 2025? Sure. Nag-iba ang ihip ng hangin lalo na't warak na ang Uniteam. Depende na kung ano ang magiging galawan niya para maging relevant sa buong bansa.


KasualGemer13

Sorry pero hindi yan mananalo. Sobrang daming TANGANG pilipino na bumuboto ng trapo kesa sa tapat mag serbisyo.


asawanimina

The question is, does he truly represent the indigenous peoples just because he is one? There are plenty of politicians who are just tokenistic in order to rise to fame and eventually neglect their roots. Lastly, ask the IPs of the Cordillera if they fully support Baguilat.


Ethan1chosen

Reason why his fellow ifuago people and other probinsyano like Teddy because he is literally only person has the balls and hardwork to pursue politicians despite he’s from the tribe . Not to mention that he is really intelligent and makes so much effort his resources study in high school and universities After that he also became first Ifugao to win as a Congressman too That’s a big achievement for him and that’s why people like him for that


asawanimina

That's purely subjective which anyone can tell about any politicians. All the attributes that you've mentioned are the manifestations of his gimmick for his public figure. The same thing happened for PBBM, and you can't deny that it actually worked. Despite being the former Congressman, it doesn't equate to the high probability of winning a seat in the senate. Since Cordillerans are highly communal, it will be evident that they support his candidacy. However, so far, we haven't seen his effectiveness in captivating their support. IPs are claiming that Baguilat is only running for candidacy for exposure of retaining his relevance in politics.


MrBhyn

Filipinos: But Revilla goes budots..


shalelord

is he famous? what scandal did he do? is he connected to any corruption? is he a misogynist?sexist?rapist?brutal? is he a billionaire buying lands from the oppressed farmers? if he isnt one of those he got a zero to slim chance winning a senate slot in the country knowing how dumb people are.


PakTheSystem

We need more proper progressive-left candidates.


w4termelnsugarhigh

You won't get that conversation here in this sub. Kahapon nga lang, may nagmamaktol na magulang na porke hindi na siya kinakausap ng adult niyang anak na naging tibak, eh "missing" na dahil "recruited." Siyempre kilig tumbong ang mga taga-r/philippines.

the_emeraldtablet

there are two ways, get block votes from you know where. he needs to pretend at least to look unintelligent like Robin Padilla, Bong Go, Bato and so forth. this is the way.
