Mar Roxas and the Padyakitos: Child abuse?

I saw Senator Mar Roxas TV commercial just this afternoon while eating spicy pancit canton with my wife. I almost blew a mouthful of spicy noodles through my nose.
OH MY GOD!
First, Senator Manuel Villar's Itik TV commercial where he holds a duck and wipes his muddied hand on his shirt, then says the line "Ang galing sa mahirap, tumutulong sa mahirap." Then comes Mar Roxas being driven by a very small kit on a padyak (a bicycle fitted with a sidecar).
Talk about fakery. The kid wasn't even straining or sweating to pedal power Mar's 240 pounds through a crowded street.


Like, come on naman pare, let's be totoo. You make sakay-sakay the padyak only for the commercial to make the masa think you are one of them. You even made mura-mura at Ayala to protest against Cha-Cha, which we all know is just a bogey that the Code NGO put up so that they'd have a cause.
Desperation has apparently led to some insincere portrayal of Mar.
Show us the real Mar Roxas!

I really tried so hard not to notice, but it came on several times while I was eating spicy pancit canton.

My kuya retorted, "Slumdog Billionaire?"

I just hope all candidates come up with more intelligent discussions on true electoral issues rather than resort to INSINCERE gimmickry.

The TV commercial just panders to the common intellect (which is so easily duped) and doesn't make any attempt to EDUCATE people about issues.

Oh well... I better start washing off the smell of cheese with SAFEGUARD! ;-)
