Nabasa ko ang post na ito noong isang araw
lang. Tungkol ito sa mga kumakandidatong
mga senador at kung ano ang tingin ng Pilipino tungkol dito. Nakakatuwa ang
ilang mga resulta at naghahatid ng bagong perspektibo sa mga mambabasa. Hnidi ito SWS o
yung Asia Weekly na Survey pero kung babasahin mo ay daig pa nito ang pasimple
simpleng listahan ng ranking lang.

don't understand how Nancy Binay became a candidate

With only 10 days left until the mid-term elections, a
survey indicates most voters still can't explain how Nancy Binay became a
candidate for senator.
According to the poll conducted by the Fly By Night
Social Media Climate Change and More Money Please Outfit (FBNSMCCMMPO), 72
percent of Filipino voters are "mystified" by the process through
which the vice-president's daughter, a total unknown, got into the candidates'
list and why she is rating so highly in polls.
Asked for possible explanations, respondents gave a
variety of reasons, among them "glamor," "dad's money,"
"birthday cakes" and "wala lang."
"I would say the voters are nonplussed",
said the outfit's director Apollo Trollfar. He presented the findings at a
press conference at the University of the Philippines main parking lot, handing
out copies of the survey from the trunk of a car while looking around
furtively.
Among the results of the outfit's wide-ranging
pre-election survey:
- Senatorial candidate Jackie Enrile, has a name
recall problem: 37 percent of voters keep confusing his name with "Alfie
Anido."
- 23 percent of voters feel that Senator Alan Peter
Cayetano never fully explained what happened to "ang kahoy" of
Senator Juan Ponce Enrile.
- 80 percent of voters wish Senator Vicente Sotto was
running so they could vote the him out of office. "The word 'idiot' was
used a lot," Trollfar revealed.
- At the local level, 43 percent of voters are unsure
which of the two contending Manila mayor candidates, Alfredo Lim and Erap
Estrada, are actually still alive.
- 55 percent of voters expressed doubts about
Estrada's ability to match the outstanding record of urban deterioration set by
Lim.
Questioned about his credentials, Trollfar described
himself as a "public confidence expert" who formed the polling outfit
three weeks ago through the help of "concerned citizens." He claimed
the wide-ranging poll was "conducted in accordance with best practices and
some help from the Internet."
"For instance, that's how I discovered the word
'nonplussed', I googled it," Trollfar said.
He declined to give details about the method used by
the survey, though he did reveal: "sampling size was just right, standard
deviation, A-OK , the weather was sunny with no hint of rain and the error
factor is plus or minus 50,000 pesos."
He promised to upload copies as soon as he found a
"cheap" cyber cafe.
Other highlights of the poll:
- 55 percent of voters favor bringing back the death
penalty for whoever writes election campaign jingles. "And they mean ALL
jingles," Trollfar stressed.
- 86 percent of voters don't know what
"PCOS" stands for. "We think the 14 percent who say they do are
lying," the polling outfit director said.
- 44 percent cannot spell the word
"precinct" correctly.
- 5 percent are puzzled why the figures in many
surveys never seem to add up to 100 percent.
- a hefty 26 percent of voters said that, given the
choice, they wouldn't object to having most candidates fall from the 20th floor
of a tall building; 15 per cent said they preferred the 30th story.
The poll also showed that about 22.5 percent of Filipinos
still haven't watched the movie "Iron Man 3"; 15 percent won't vote
"Iron Man 3" because they don't believe in political dynasties.
Nakakatuwa at maganda ang humour ng blog
na ito. Pero bukod diyan ay napapa-isip din tayo kung sino ang dapat natin
iboto. Sna nga naman huwag si “Iron Man 3”.
PS: Salamat kay Mr. Alan Robles para sa
nakaka-aliw na blog post. Ito pala yung link boom.
