Premature Political Ads: Manny Villar


This is an adveritisement showing Senator Manny Villar helping a stranded maltreated OFW. He shouldered the air fare.

But before seeing the video, let me present some estimations.

Which when converted to Philippine Peso is more or less 34,000.

That's ONLY the air fare. Not to mention the food and all necessities that the said OFW needs.

When this advertisement is still fresh, it airs how many times a day. Air time costs about 30,000 to 50,000 per 30 secs. Multiplied by the times it aired in a day... You do the math. My point is Sen. Villar could help other OFWs who are stranded and maltreated.

As the alleged $20,000 bill on a dinner held at the worlds famous Le Cirque in New York City circulating around the web and one of the hottest issues in politics.

Ferdinand Martin Romualdez as the guest who paid for the dinner that a New York tabloid said cost $20,000 (almost P1 million). “That is unfair. It was not FM (Ferdinand Martin Romualdez) but his brother Daniel who footed the bill,” lawyer Nick Esmale, the congressman’s legal and media liaison officer, said on the phone.
