Satur loses 1st round vs Palparan in HARAPAN debate

[Monseratto]

Interesting result. Does this mean the leftist cause is waning? Or is the public getting tired of their antics?

MANILA, Philippines - Bayan Muna party-list representative and senatorial candidate Satur Ocampo lost the first round of debates against rival senatorial bet, Bantay party-list Rep. Jovito Palparan, in ABS-CBN's HARAPAN: Mga Isyu ng Bayan debates Sunday night at La Consolacion College in Manila.

The debate, the first ever of its kind among rival senatorial candidates, again made use of the Wireless Audience Response System (WARS), which polled audience response from 180 select viewers from Dagupan, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro and Manila.

After the first round, 73.7% of the WARS audience said they did not believe Ocampo while only 26.3% said they believed the Bayan Muna lawmaker.

On the other hand, 57.1% of the WARS audience said they believed Palparan while 42.9% said they did not believe him.

I find it quite funny that Satur actually nodded (that seemed like in a subconscious manner) when Palparan mentioned that he was a leader of the NPA.

I'm not in line with the Ocampo and Maza ticket, especially with their activist style of politics. Activists are full of talk, and that's just about it.

the NPA claim to be fighting for the poor

but the NPA is nothing more than an organized crime syndicate

their main activity is extortion

we have a number of customers in provinces who have been and are being extorted by the NPA

that fighting-for-the-poor thing is pure crap

[safeorigin]

and they also get funding from our g... *cough*

[Gen. Miting]

and they're both democratic and communist. CPP-NDF

but it has benefits naman with them living and "guarding" our natural resources. if our tycoons had their way, matagal ng kalbo mga gubat natin

kaya hindi madeve-develop ang madaming probinsya

dahil sa dami ng lawless armed groups all over the country

armed groups who claim to be fighting for something but in reality they're just after money

NPA, MILF, Abu Sayyaf etc

parepareho lang sila

mga tamad, ayaw magtrabaho

mas gusto nila mangholdap, mag extort ng pera sa mga naghahanapbuhay ng maayos

fighting for a cause

bullsh*t

im just wondering about Satur Ocampo's ads along the streets
why does he have to put a Commnist Logo; the one that is colored RED and with design of a caret, its somewhat a logo of Russia
