Political Grandstanding Strategies in the Philippines

May 2013 Senatorial and Local Election, no wonder that both the House of Senate and Congress is very busy exploiting the country's tri-media.

* From House Bill to House Probe - looping investigations, sarcasms along the process, locking someone to the Senate and mud slinging.

* Budget Hearing to House Inquiry - Is the price is right? Black Berry, chair, office supplies procurement and etc..

* Health Concerns Strategy - In order not to be grilled by the Blue Ribbon Committee of the House of Senate, all you have to do is to identify the weakest part of your body and declare it as a serious health problem. Have this so-called illness be checked abroad and stay there indefinitely hoping that you will have the sympathy of the masses in the near future.

* Riding the Global Issues Approach - To have great access to free advertisement, break the norms and make some absurd comments that will surely flare-up groups of people especially the activists so that they will burn your effigy while being covered by both international and local media. Example: Praise and defend the action of Gadaffy in Libya, promote divorce in the Philippines, legalize abortion and marijuana.

* Challenging Higher Authorities - This is one of the best tools to master if you want to be as famous as your target.

* Befriend and Marry a Showbiz Personality - This will surely put you into the lime light instantly.

* Exploit the "Kuryente" Effect - Let one of your allies spread rumors about you, orchestrate it and tip the issue to your advantage.
