Change Politics Movement – Baguhin ang Pulitika Tungo sa Pulitika ng Pagbabago!

Maligayang Pasko po – Noynoy Aquino

December 25th, 2009 peterahon Comments off

Sa ating paggunita sa kaarawan ni Hesu Kristo na ipinanganak sa gitna ng matinding hirap, atin ding isapuso ang mensahe ng Kanyang kapanganakan.

Dumaan tayo sa matinding sigalot sa taong ito: ang pagsalanta ng mga bagyo, ang pagpatay sa mga inosenteng sibilyan, ang pagkawala ng moral bilang mamamayan dahil sa tiwaling pamamahala.

Sa kabila nito, tuloy pa rin tayong umaasa, tulad ng pag-asa natin sa pangako ng Panginoon. Bilang mamamayan, nasa ating kamay ang pagbangon ng ating bayan.

Isabuhay natin ang pinakadakilang utos ng Diyos: “Mahalin ang kapwa gaya ng pagmamahal Ko sa inyo.”

Ang pagmamahal nang walang kapalit tulad ng sa Panginoon ang magsisilbing gabay upang malampasan natin ang ating mga pagsubok.

Salamat po sa inyong patuloy na pagtataguyod at pagmamahal. Kayo po ang lakas namin.

Maligayang Pasko po at mapayapang bagong taon sa inyong lahat.

Sumasainyo,

Noynoy Aquino

Dear Noy Supporter,

As you might have noticed, both Gibo and Villar are investing heavily on online advertising to boost their FB presence. Gibo is even claiming to be leader in the Internet community based on a poll in an obscure FB fan page (with about 1,200 fans) where he purportedly won twice by as much as 58% of the votes, and projecting this to conventional media as the overall sentiment on the Internet in general, and on FB, in particular. We all know it’s a farce.

While we have plans to advertise, we want to reserve this at a time when the campaign heats up, given the limited funding that we have.

True, we don’t have as much money as the other candidates. But there is one thing that we have which they don’t have – YOU. Yes, we have volunteers, like you, who are passionate for change and who see in Noynoy Aquino the hope we have all been longing for. And if we can pool our network of friends together, we will have more impact than their expensive ad campaigns will ever have.

So here’s the deal. LET’S PAINT FB YELLOW THIS CHRISTMAS. Let’s target to increase our subscribed fans to 201000 at the start of 2010. Right now, there are over 116,000 fans. So, if we only bring in one new fan each, then we should easily surpass that target. If we can make this happen, this would be the perfect Christmas gift to Noynoy.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Suggest the Noynoy’s official FB page to friends (there’s a clickable text at the fan page that lets you easily do this)

2. Post on your status update “We want to Paint FB Yellow as our Christmas gift to Noynoy. Please sign up as a fan on Facebook

3. Send a personalized message to people in your mailbox asking them the same. You can even forward this mail, if you want to.

5 to 10 minutes of your time can be the start of a Yellow Christmas for all of us. Let’s show Gibo and Villar the power of yellow.

Merry Yellow Christmas to all of you.

God bless,

Enteng Romano III

BOTO KO SAGRADO HINDI PRODUKTO

Press Release/November 30, 2009

Manila

We, the Change Politics Movement, comprised of over four thousand members in 50 provinces who are engaged in active citizenship in the electoral process, is embarking upon a campaign to establish Vote-Buying-Free-Zones in different communities this 30^th day of November 2009.

Taking advantage of the need and vulnerabilities of majority of the Filipino people, many politicians engage in vote buying to help ensure their victory in elections. Once these politicians win, they use their power and position to promote their self-interest rather than the greater public good.

PB300422

Vote buying has become so rampant in our electoral process that is has become a major obstacle in the emergence of reform candidates who are committed to the betterment of our communities and of our nation.

As a response to this situation, the Change Politics Movement, together with the Urban Poor Alliance (UP-ALL), the biggest network of urban poor and informal settlers in Mega-Manila is launching the Vote-Buying-Free-Zones campaign.

Our members will begin convincing individuals, families, communities and the general electorate in Metro Manila, and later in other regions. Those who believe in “Boto ko sagrado, hindi produkto” will be asked to display vote-buying-free-zone stickers in their homes, pedicab, tricycle, or vendors cart as a symbol of their commitment to this campaign.

PB300428

To launch this campaign, 50 urban poor leaders will undergo training to become advocates against vote-buying in their communities. Ms. Emy Boncodin will discuss available local government resources that could be put to better use by electing reform oriented politicians. Ms. Dinky Soliman will facilitate the training on Vote-Buying-Free-Zone.
