In contrast, the Filipinos who readily got connected with the Binay brand expected Nancy to win; much the same way the surveys “predicted”.<br /><br />I think Team PUNAy vote was a mixed vote with ideology possibly <b>ranging from <i>trapoism</i> and idealism</b>.<br /><br />For UNA, there is a lot to rejoice in the Nancy Binay first-five win because primarily her votes consist of <b>pure</b> UNA votes rather than a Grace Poe mixed vote. This will hopefully translate into votes for the Binay brand when May 2013 Presidential Election comes.<br /><br />In hindsight, however, probably there is NO RANGE to speak of here because I believe there was NO idealism that was dangled when voters were “<i>requested</i>” to shade the oval in the ballot beside “<b>5. BINAY, NANCY (UNA)</b>”.<br />baycashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051100094941299606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-91631653040978070842013-05-24T15:20:33.053+08:002013-05-24T15:20:33.053+08:004/5

Media interviewers, the likes of Jessica Soho and Susan Enriquez, could not make her admit it.<br /><br />And while the fair-skinned Poe could be phenomenal in her first outing as a politician…thanks, in part, to Carlitos Siguion-Reyna…<b>we must never ignore</b> the fact that the Vice-President’s daughter, who is a first-timer also, was not only WATCHed by millions of Filipinos on television in her TV commercials (<i>never mind the television debates</i>) but she was equally TOUCHed personally by millions of Filipinos during UNA’s traditional nationwide campaign sorties.<br />baycashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051100094941299606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-2556367659430398072013-05-24T15:19:26.488+08:002013-05-24T15:19:26.488+08:003/5

If I may offer some meaningful dynamics in the “last two minutes” of the campaign, these are:<br /><br />1. POE and ANGARA are easily “inserted” into a majority UNA slate in a ballot. Poe’s reason is obvious and Susan Roces in Poe’s ad positively convinced a lot of voters; Angara was once VP of Erap and Miriam (Santiago) made a “command” performance in Angara’s ad.<br /><br />2. GORDON is an easy “insert” in a majority Team PNoy slate. Track record clinched the shading of his oval in voters’ ballot and Gordon boast of this in his ad. <i>Tant pis</i> for Gordon for he wasn’t able to dislodge the twelfth winner despite junking of some Team PNoy members.<br /><br />3. VILLAR’s longest running television campaign (<i>more than a year?</i>) took its toll in the end. Her daughter, now identified with Wowowillie Revillame, endorsed her. From “Hanepbuhay” to “Hanep Mommy” must have been negative to many...remembering the 2010 Willie and Manny ads in the past.<br /><br />4. EJERCITO was a turnoff to Jinggoy’s fans when it was revealed he “dissed” Jinggoy’s offer to help in JV’s TV campaign ad. JV must have been thankful because Jinggoy had a cameo role in Jack Enrile’s ad.<br /><br />5. MADRIGAL had a lackluster campaign in glaring contrast with the “Jajajajamby” she was known before. Juday must have been smiling…during the surveys and probably until now.<br />baycashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051100094941299606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-8820722092842505552013-05-24T15:18:40.200+08:002013-05-24T15:18:40.200+08:002/5

Strategists often take note of this range of movement in order to maintain or adjust a campaign strategy. To the moneyed, politicians find a quick fix in television ads (<i>as will be presented later</i>).<br /><br />My list, the combined April 20-22 Pulse Asia and May 2-3 SWS surveys, “predicted” the Top 12 but missed four names in the exact position when the candidates were proclaimed winners based on their ranges of ranks (<i>the 0.5 decimal number was rounded off to the nearest digit, e.g., Legarda’s 1-to-1.5 position was converted to 1-to-2 position; the same with all the rest having decimal numbers</i>).<br /><br />The combined surveys did not expect these significant* movements in position (ranges):<br /><br />(a) Rise of winners POE and ANGARA, and non-winner GORDON, and<br /><br />(b) Fall of winners VILLAR and EJERCITO, and non-winner MADRIGAL.<br /><br />-----<br />*<i>Significant movement – two or more places in ranking position</i>baycashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051100094941299606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-81872586325898914022013-05-24T15:16:44.421+08:002013-05-24T15:16:44.421+08:001/5

Among the winners, the rise of POE and ANGARA (<i>ASCEND</i>) and the fall of ESCUDERO and VILLAR (<i>DESCEND</i>) were <b>not</b> expected. Among the non-winners, the rise of GORDON and the fall of MADRIGAL were likewise <b>not</b> expected.<br /><br />However, when it comes to the exact No. 12 position, the Pulse Asia survey expected ZUBIRI and not Honasan.<br /><br />Here, we will note that SWS “predicted” all the names that landed in exactly the Top 12. But, the thing is, SWS had a more or less fixed rank/position that its May 2-3 survey missed nine (9) candidates in the exact position as the official result of winners. Pulse Asia only missed four (4).baycashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051100094941299606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-17574622912925682272013-05-20T23:22:40.398+08:002013-05-20T23:22:40.398+08:00Hi Dean,

Drop-outs will always happen, but while financial situation may hinder the system, it should not stop the parents from sending the child to school.

I believe there is too much focus on the additional two years when, in fact, the major changes that will occur now are in the current 10-year curriculum. And these changes are not founded on solid data and may prove to be harmful to the present educational system.
