THE pre-election campaign for 2019 has started. The declared candidates have been making public appearances garbed i n casuals.
Election campaigns in advanced and progressive communities used modern marketing and advertising techniques to create brand identity.
Some national candidates even have their make- up artist to enhance their appearance and personality.
I am interested in how certain local candidates choose their dress to symbolize their platform. If I were his dress consultant, I’d like to garb mayoral bet Carmelo the Pogi Lazatin.Jr. in heavy jackets. After all the days are getting colder. The jacketed Pogi will resemble Sen. JINGOY plus a swig of bravado and pugnacious good looks. Press photos of campaigner Pogi looks he just finished a bowling contest.
Bryan Nepo’s tender looks, has the neck of a ballet dancer. He can be toughened by kung fu uniforms. He faces a tough job as city mayor and his new personality demands a drastic retrofitting. The Nepo Batman and Robin Edu jr. are not new to the task. Edu was reported way ahead of the runners last month.
The launching of public miting for Alex Cauguiran is the most anticipated event in Angeles Ciy.
Alex might pull a surprise at the grand rally by wearing a Katipunero kundiman pants with white jusi barong. His fighting spirit will carry him through.
Rep. Jon Lazatin III, reportedly the seeded bet for the 1st district will win the sabungan crowd by wearing buri hat in public functions. Kong Tarzna started public life in the cockpit. Ex-Cong. Yeng Guiao is well recognized by his shiny head and panther eyes.
Future partylist Congressman EDPAM has always been lucky with his fighting color- green. HE wisely evaded a direct collision course with the Lazatins.
