#Trendjacking: The Art and Science of Bolstering Brand Relevance


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Trendjacking is the opportunity to capitalise and exploit a current topic with the intent to propel digital reach, with the ability to strengthen a brand's association with its core audience. It is a powerful concept that more and more brands are adopting to attract attention and generate profitable business outcomes.

Current events and milestones change, evolve, and come and go. The same can be said for the ways marketers amplify their brand strategies. With the scale of attention current events garner on social media, brands - both big and small - have begun promoting their products and services during hyped-up circumstances. Examples may include the recent advertisements related to news, such as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Other promotional and publicity stunts may also derive inspiration from politically related events, such as the death of a country's former President, or even the COVID-19 pandemic itself, along with the lifestyle changes that come along with it.

With the world shifting to a more digital age, brands have begun to seize the opportunity to promote their products and services using current events and the latest social media trends on mainstream and social media. The change in the media landscape and social media perception in the Philippines has brought several risks and opportunities for brands - such as hitting or missing the mark in promotion and advertisement. Therefore, it is crucial for brands to take in a multitude of expert analyses, insights, and opinions and trust what data and information tell them. Let Isentia, the leading media intelligence organisation in the Philippines and Asia-Pacific, walk you through how brands can bolster its brand relevance.

Vice President Leni Robredo is our President


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

After an excruciating wait, Vice President Leni Robredo finally announced her bid for the Presidency. She filed her certificate of candidacy for president in the 2022 election earlier today, October 7.

While we witnessed several personalities announce their run for President, and other positions in government, we all can't help but wonder when our favorite government official would declare her run for the highest position in the country. 

Maraming salamat po, VP Leni, dahil tumugon kayo sa pakiusap ng nakararaming Pilipino na naghahangad ng tapat, patas, malinis, at makatuwirang pamumuno. 

Thank you po. Sa totoo lang, pinagpray ko na tumakbo kayo, kasi wala na kong nakikitang pag-asa sa bansa base sa mga tatakbo, ngayon I have a ray of hope.

Thank you! For giving us a hope that our country will thrive again.

Ang sarap po sa pakiramdam. May pag asa ang Pilipinas. Salamat ng marami.




True enough, many have longed for the VP to go against the impending forces of the Dutertes and Marcoses, the former who have incompetently made us all miserable with their poor pandemic response and the many words of corruption, added to their fake war on drugs.

We were not happy seeing Ping Lacson,Isko Moreno, and Manny Pacquiao eyeing the position of president because it was very apparent that they were enablers of the Duterte administration, and it was only lately that they've shown some disagreement with Duterte.

After all the killings, abductions, corruption, inefficiency, etc., bulag pa rin sila. Ibang klase…

Kaya it’s really time for change. It’s time to #LetLeniLead2022 

Let's choose to stand for what is right. Leni is the best and the most credible candidate we have on the roster to lead our country. 

Gusto ko ang presidenteng hindi ginawang family business ang gobyerno.




Finally, a glimmer of HOPE. Thank you for hearing us!! Sobrang napasaya nyo po ang marami sa pag anunsyo at pagfile nyo ng candidacy for president.

"The "NAIIYAK AKO" phrase entails how hopeless, downhearted, and desperate Filipinos are of a government that cares for its people. Vice President Leni Robredo declaring her intent to run for President gives us the hope that there is always light at the end of this tricky tunnel." 

Salamat VP Leni! Many were in tears while watching your announcement this morning! Thank you for fighting and giving us hope!

Hindi naman ako iyakin na tao, pero kapag pakiramdam mo na naapi ka at nakakita ka ng pag asa aynapapaluha ka.

For sure, hindi magsho-shopping for luxury watches sa Greenbelt, Makati si Leni after nagfile siya ng Certificate of Candidacy for President. 

Hindi kamukha nang iba diyan. Mga walang budhi. walang pakiramdam.

I'm looking at you - Bong Go & your padrino/amo, Duterte.

Sources from VP Leni Robredo's camp said, she will run as an independent to show "inclusivity" with supporters from all fronts. But Robredo will not resign as Liberal Party chairperson. 

We will vote for Leni Robredo because we don't want to go through that Duterte sh*t again. We witnessed the incompetence of the Duterte government right in front of our eyes even during this pandemic. Let's pick the right leader! Let's pick Leni as our president!

Ang kandidatong may puso at tanging nakakaintindi ng pinagdadaanan ng mga Pilipino. 

Ibalik nyo po ang disenteng pamamalakad! Sawa na kami sa bastos na gobyerno!

Leni Robredo for president. The last man standing is a WOMAN indeed! Manifesting!

Incumbent Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo to run against Vico Sotto as Mayor of Pasig city


Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Current Pasig City Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo has filed his candidacy to run against incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto as mayor of the city in 2022.

“I am not here to criticize the current administration. I just want to offer an option doon sa mga kababayan namin” says Bernardo.

Bernardo “agrees” that Sotto’s strong social media presence and support is daunting.

Bernardo admits - unlike in 2019 when Sotto was at a disadvantage - he is now the “underdog” in Pasig’s #Halalan2022 mayoralty race.

Bernardo says he decided to run for mayor after realizing during the #COVID19 pandemic that quality of life in Pasig has not yet improved.

"What will be your edge against the incumbent Mayor Vico Sotto?"

Iyo Bernardo: "I will be a hands-on Mayor..."

Bernardo says he wants to bridge gap between rich and poor Pasigueños through various programs, such as providing financial assistance to students, tax incentives for businesses hiring Pasig residents.

Bernardo denies involvement in alleged corruption within Pasig City govt, says critics should file cases against him if they have proof of alleged wrongdoing.

Bernardo began his political career in 1998, served as SK official and councilor, before becoming 3-term vice mayor."

Here are Pasig city Mayor Vico Sotto's message:

Good morning! Una, maraming salamat sa mga nagpadama sa akin ng overwhelming support. Sinusubukan kong replyan ang bawat text mula nung filing.

Ngayong meron nang nagdeklara na tatakbo rin bilang mayor, konting paalala/pakiusap lang sa mga supporter. 6 na bagay po ito:

FOCUS pa rin tayo sa trabaho. Trabaho, bago politika. Kahit sa pormal na campaign period, mananatili akong full-time mayor.

IWASAN natin ang "mudslinging". Kung tungkol sa trabaho o track record, sige pag-usapan natin (Dapat naman talagang suriin nang mabuti ang mga kandidato). Pero wag yung personalan o bastusan na.

MAGING MAPANURI, lalo na sa pekeng balita. Hindi porket may "quote" ay totoo na ito. (Alam niyo, yung gumagawa ng fake news at fake quotes noong 2019, halos sila pa rin yan ngayon.)

KUMBINSIHAN, hindi pagdikta. Kapag may kaibigan tayong nakita niyo sa kabila, 'wag niyong pagalitan o takutin... Di ba kasama sa laban natin ang pag giba ng ganun klaseng politika?

SUMUNOD TAYO sa mga alituntunin ng Comelec, lalo na sa health protocols.

Kung kailangan mag-meeting, dapat sa lugar na may bentilasyon at pasok sa IATF guidelines.

HINDI pa rin tayo gagastos ng malaki. Tandaan- ang gagastos ng malaki sa kampanya, ay malaki rin ang babawiin. (Ok lang tawagin akong kuripot, at least hindi magnanakaw. Ang importante, nagagamit sa tama at ng buo ang pera ng taumbayan.)

Yun lang po muna. Nawa'y maging maayos at mapayapa ang eleksyon sa Pasig at sa buong Pilipinas. God bless the 2022 Elections!

Pasig Vice Mayor Iyo Bernardo claims he and Mayor Vico Sotto treat each other as friends, denies supposed friction between them.

However, several political observers in Pasig City note that Bernardo has been snubbing official city events where Sotto was expected to attend.

Si Vice Mayor Bernardo yung madalas magpa online raffle at auction pero bihirang magpakita kahit before the pandemic.

Parang sa lahat ng taga-Pasig na kilala ko, itong si Iyo Bernardo lang ang nakita kong nagreklamo tungkol sa pandemic response ng Pasig LGU. Lol!
