The desperate Yellowtard house-to-house campaign launched by Tricia Robredo, daughter of Opposition “leader” Leni Robredo soldiers on. With just a week to go before the official campaign period of these elections closes this weekend, the Yellowtards are willing to try anything.
They may be in luck this week. Esteemed Pinoy Big Brother alumna Bianca Gonzalez had recently stepped up to a particularly tough task — teach Yellowtard partisans basic good manners and social graces. In a series of tweets she issued today, Gonzalez lays out a short course in character development for her Opposition colleagues…

Gonzalez basically lays out a manifesto on how her Yellowtard pals can more effectively engage with Filipino voters (which she repreatedly refers to as “they”) to further their agenda of converting them to the Yellow “cause”.
Bianca Gonzalez’s repeated referral to Filipino voters as ‘they’ inadvertently reveals the underlying elitism of the Yellowtard ’cause’.
What Gonzalez attempts to impart on her flock is stuff most normal people would have likely learned in kindergarten. Engaging with people effectively requires empathy and self-awareness. The core dysfunction that led the Yellowtards to the desperate situation they find themselves in today has to do with an abject lack of both these basic human virtues in the character of their campaign. Rather than invest the time to really understand where ordinary Filipinos are coming from, the Yellowtards, instead, ran a campaign that involved shoving high-horsed notions such as “human rights”, “gender equality”, “feminism”, and “press freedom” down people’s throats. Worse, they felt an entitlement to the absolute ascendancy of their “cause” on the imagined basis of their lot being the “good guys” in their manufactured narrative of these elections being a battle between “good” and “evil”.
To be fair, Gonzalez has the job cut out for her. She’s a revered celebrity and commands an enormous following on social media. If there is anyone Yellowtardom’s starstruck partisans will tingala to, it would be a starlet like Gonzalez. With just several days of campaign to go, the challenge ahead is a daunting one. Fortunately for the Yellowtards, their belief that they are “good” and all the rest of them are “evil” is keeping them motivated to campaign harder.

Good part on Bianca, although part of me don’t believe these rabid Kakampinks will take basic manners at heart from Bianca herself. Now, instead of calling non-Leni voters “they” or insert any labels. How about just a “basic intro” of their candidate, Leni and ask if they’re going to vote for her with just choice of “Yes” or “No”, cut the other useless shenanigans and move on (Even though, this suggestion that I laid is still intrusive and should probably trash this “House to House” strategy because this is pretty similar to Jehovah’s Witness approach but only political version instead of about Jesus).
Kakampinks should also learn to take rejection and not antagonize other non-Leni voters. Insulting, calling names, being too persistent even when rejected, treating them like some kind of “evil abominations” just because someone doesn’t want to vote for Leni will only sour the experience and a long lasting impression that her supporters are this rabidly toxic.
Hard selling never works
They should have been more subtle, getting in there on the some other pretext, like girls in short skirts giving away free cigarettes or condoms..then boom! Leni kiko pamphlets in your face.
This idea sounds good, lol.
Well, don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake, so they say. haha
Or they could have gone on the internet, giving out free data and rewards and what not…then boom! Leni kiko jingle in your face.
This would work with hotdogs or fish balls or fried chicken necks or tshirts or balpoint pens or little rum bottles or handjob lotions.
You dont just go in there shaking hands, you gotta give something first.
Yellowtard Fools.
Yellowtards will go to any extent, pull the dirtiest tricks from the deepest and darkest crevices of their magic bags to use in their slander campaign against anyone who challenges their authority, in order to hold onto power that have been subjecting the entire country under political and economic hardships for more than 3 decades. These Yellowtards have been using the influential power of the media, Catholic Church, and academic institutions on their side to raise and maintain their height of absolute elitism and power, to have supreme authority on the direction the country needs to go, and complete dominion over the lives of the people they are supposed to govern and care for. Thirty-six years (1986 to Present) of Yellowtard elitism and influence have only empowered and enriched its members, as they impoverished and oppressed the rest of the nation. Now the people are ready for a change.
Change already came with digong.
Now bbm has to keep the duterte train going.
Or else.
Change will come with any good public servant whose heart is in the right place…..
And why make this election about BBM/ SARA VERSUS LENI/ KIKO
I think there are more than two candidates vying for the coveted seat in the palace?
I understand the fanaticism and staunch support in your beliefs that only a Duterte can save this country so push for BBM SARA SO THAT WHEN JUNIOR CAN’T FULFILL HIS OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES HE CAN STEP DOWN AND ANOTHER DUTERTE SHALL STEP UP TO THE PLATE TO TAKE THE HELM
BBM of course is such a weakling anyway he’d be willing to do so since he already fulfilled what he set out to do
Protect the Family, take care of the ill-gotten wealth, rewrite history, redeem the family’s honor, glory and what not…..
Defend the Marcos at all costs…
.. that’s what cronies, apologists, supporters do in the name of fanaticism and idolatry…..
The same thing is happening in the other camp
HAIL LENI THE SAINT WHO LIKE THE LATE CORY AQUINO SHALL TOPPLE THE LOOMING THREAT OF ANOTHER MARCOS DICTATORSHIP
JUSTICE SHALL PREVAIL
REDEEM THE GLORY OF EDSA REVOLUTION THROUGH LENI
ahhh the narratives when it’s all for show
POLITICAL LANDSCAPE CHANGE ALREADY AND THERE’S NO MORE ROOM FOR TRUTH IN THE EXTREMELY POLARIZED SOCIETY
TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO TAKE A STAND AND PICK THEMSELVES THIS TIME
DISCLAIMER: ALL VIEWS CAME FROM MY OWN ANALYSIS SO …..
I am aware of the Miranda rights and believe that anything I say may be used against me……
Ubuntu…..may it guide each voter as they choose what’s best for each one of them and ultimately the country
Ubuntu as a philosophy is based on generic life values of justice, responsibility, equality, col- lectiveness, relatedness, reciprocity, love, respect, helpfulness, community, caring, dependability, sharing, trust, integrity, unselfishness and social change
Teka lang.. Di ba Yellowtard din itong si Bianca?
Oh come on Bianca…
R U now transferring to a red-green color… hahaha
Benign0,
I think Marcos apologia must be hip for its good.
