“Anong ginagawa mo diyan?”
– Cezar Inigo Roxas II (IV AB MEco)
“It’s a subtle political campaign but then again we can never really know their motives for appearing in the ads. If the additional income will make them less corrupt, [that is], if the extra income will make them moderate their greed, then I have nothing against it.”
– Kevin Cezar Lee (I BS ME)
“Wala kasi parang napapakita lang sila at pinahihiwatig lamang nila na sila ay tatakbo sa 2010.”
– Dado Boquiren, maintenance staff
“Well, it’s pretty obvious that they’re using commercials as PR machinery with the upcoming 2010 elections. Even though I’m a Comm major, I’m not at all affected in their air time. Even though they appear in commercials, it hasn’t influenced my opinion and perception in them in any way. Actually, I kind of find it weird and entertaining.”
– Bono Olgado (V AB Comm)
“No big deal! Their endorsements do not dictate who they are. We are the ones, especially 2010 voters, who should be vigilant if they use this campaign to promote the common good or just to boost their self-serving interest.”
– Zeus Geronimo Dorado (IV AB MEco)
“I think they shouldn’t be doing that because even if it is for a product, not direct campaigning, it is still, one way or the other, a form of campaign and they shouldn’t be doing that if it is not campaign period.”
– Cherryl Si (III AB DS)
“If they are going to use it for campaigning, they should be shown within the months of campaign, not in this jurisdiction. I think it’s illegal for me.”
– Kristia Mae Bulan (IV BS Psy)
“I think they should not [appear in television commercials] for practical reasons. They’re concentrating too much on power [because] that is a way of getting power. They’re politicians—they already have political, economic, cultural, and now even media power. It’s not good for people to have so much power.”
– Leovino Ma. Garcia, Ph.D., Philosophy associate professor
““They’re taking advertisements to get the upperhand against their competitors. Tama ba iyon?”
– Daniel Mark Lim (II BS Mgt)
“Para sa akin tama yung ginagawa nilang lumalabas sila sa TV para makilala sila ng taong bayan.”
– Almano “Ate Alma” Fermano, photocopying lady
