MANILA—At 75 years old, Tito Rene Aquino is buying thousands of face shields and sticking his name and pictures onto these as he prepares to vie for a seat in Parañaque's city council in the May 2022 elections.
"Kapag ako ay hindi lumabas, naghintay ako [ng campaign rules] . . . talo ka na agad kasi 'yung mga re-electionist kilala na sila agad kahit hindi sila lumabas," Aquino said, noting that he expects campaign rules to be stricter later this year due to the pandemic. Like Aquino, aspiring politicians who are vying for an elected post on May 9, 2022 need to be creative in campaigning during the COVID-19 pandemic, campaign strategist Gerardo Eusebio told ABS-CBN News in a separate interview.
"We [Filipinos] love interacting with each other. I think it is in our political traditions, our political culture. We love the spectacle of elections much like how we like beauty contests." "If you allow them to fly to areas with the staff and may mini- campaigns, even with social distancing, we’re afraid of super- spreader events," he said.Campaigners are likely to go back to the the old practice of distributing visual materials saved on flash drives, the strategist said.
"These would certainly disappear now. It is actually now a challenge for candidates and campaign strategists to look for ways to reach the people effectively.While candidates with fewer resources may be at a disadvantage in campaigning during the pandemic, parties with big political machineries should also be careful in going all out to win voters, Eusebio said.
