Bong Go files his COC for Vice President, Duterte says he is retiring from politics

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Senator Christopher “Bong” Go officially filed his candidacy for vice president under the PDP-Laban party list for the 2022 election. President Rodrigo Duterte accompanied him, who was the original nominee of the said party for the vice-presidency.

Go says "Given that Pres. Duterte decided to withdraw his acceptance of nomination, I am here to take on the challenge as the PDP’s vice presidential candidate."

Duterte says "Today I announce my retirement from politics."

President Duterte says he backed out of VP race due to 'surveys and caucuses' and 'overwhelming sentiment of the Filipino is that I am not qualified and it would be a violation of the Constitution.'

Sara Duterte-Carpio: I am not running for a national position as we both agreed only one of us will run for a national position in 2022. Sara Duterte-Carpio files COC as re-electionist for mayor in Davao City.

Rody Duterte: I am not running for VP and I will be retiring from politics after my term.

Bong Go: Runs for VP for PDP-Laban instead, says Duterte withdrew.

Sara, pasok!

Ang galing ng script ng Davao mafia.

Former senator JV Ejercito files his COC for senator

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Former senator Joseph Victor "JV" Ejercito aka Estrada seeks a return to the Senate as he files his certificate of candidacy (COC) for senator on the May 2022 polls. 

JV Ejercito will use 'JV Estrada' as an alias because he says some areas especially in rural communities know him as an Estrada: 'Estrada is a brand name'

He says he will also stick to his original name since "ako lang ang Ejercito na tumakbo for a national post" 

Above is a copy of JV Ejercito’s COC for Senator in the May 2022 polls. He said he is running again “against all odds.” If elected, he vowed to focus on the implementation of the laws he sponsored in the Senate. 

Ejercito says he will continue to work on improving the country's health care and public infrastructure, like mass transportation—his long-time advocacies. 

"Our voters deserve better choices. Our country deserves the good ones who will help achieve prosperity for all, not leaders who think only about lining their pockets with public money."

Ejercito says he feels gratified that many presidential aspirants and groups want him to be in their senatorial slate or expressed support for his bid to return to the Senate.

Ejercito says it was Senate President Tito Sotto who first included him in their senatorial slate. He also reveals being approached by the camps of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and former senator Bongbong Marcos. 

"Nakakataba ng puso." 

Ejercito was also said to be included in the shortlist of Pres. Duterte's senatorial candidates but it did not push through.

In his speech, Ejercito said he expects a tough fight in the 2022 polls since many prominent personalities will run.

Sana he continues to become a blogger/vlogger instead. He seems cool and less stressed when he's promoting food.

Broadcaster Raffy Tulfo files his COC for senator

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Raffy Tulfo, the top senatoriable according to the latest Pulse Asia survey files his COC for Senator.

He is now filing his certificate of candidacy (COC) for senator today at the Sofitel Harbor Garden Tents in Pasay City.

You know what's scary sa pagtakbo ni Raffy Tulfo?

He has a high chance na manalo because a lot of people think he's a goddamn hero or something.

May nakakapansin bang minsan ginagawang katatawan ni Raffy Tulfo ang nagrereklamo sa show niya. Hindi ko alam kung tama yun o hindi. Napansin ko lang.

Isn't it exploiting din? Kahit walang kwentang reklamo, pinapatulan.

For me masyado syang self-entitled!

Sa lyrics ng theme song ng program niya, hindi niya na daw kailangan maging politiko. Pero ngayon ay tumatakbo. Clown!

Ang daming matatanda na namang boboto diyan.

Can we please elect people na deserve talaga ang posisyon?

Ang funny. Most of us are laughing at the prospect of Raffy Tulfo winning next year. Pero 'yung totoo, it's possible, it might even be a done deal at this point. The guy has a huge viewer base. His brand of justice evades due process but it gets things done.

The "failures" of our legal system produced quasi-tribunals such as Tulfo's Idol in Action. After all, why would you spend hundreds of thousands of pesos, just for your case to be dismissed over technicalities, if Idol Raffy could solve it in just over an hour?

I guess this is the challenge our system has to face: As long as our system doesn't work for the people, may mga taong willing itong i-exploit to curry things in their favor. In the end, since they present themselves as problem-solvers, the masses will consider them as such.

It pains me to tweet the sentence "his brand of justice evades due process but it gets things done." It feels shitty, but it is shittier na I know what I said is correct.

Tulfo admits he was approached by the Lacson-Sotto camp as well as the Pacquiao camp. However, the broadcaster says he chose to run as an independent candidate so his loyalty would not lie with any party. 

In his speech after filing his COC, Tulfo said he decided to run as an independent candidate to push for the needs of the marginalized in the Senate.

Tulfo said he is confident he will win in the 2022 polls with the support of the subscribers of his show. He said he plans to pass laws to address the needs of workers and OFWs.

Will I vote for him? No. But honestly I won't say a word about those who would vote for him. They're victims of this oppressive system, after all. They're holding on to his brand of justice, not because they want to. Most of them don't even have a choice anymore.

Tulfo is a Duterte enabler.  His party list group is part of those who voted against ABS-CBN.

Tulfo once stabbed the president at the back, loud and clear. He is more than an ingrate and more of a traitor.

Riding on the popularity of the president, was he just a queso de bola all along?

Tinawag pa niya ang mga DDS na langgaw na nakatuntong sa kalabaw. Hindi kaya siya  ang tungaw na nakatuntong sa kalabaw?

The Tulfo brothers are the USER brothers. The whole family is USER FRIENDLY!

ACT-CIS is the party list of the Tulfo Brothers. It owed its votes mainly from the OFWs and got 3 seats in congress.

The partylist second nominee, Jocelyn Pua Tulfo, btw, is the wife of Raffy Tulfo.

What's this ACT-CIS Partylist ever did for our country? From what I know, it was sold out recently.

Now, does he expect the OFWs to vote for him again? Well some OFWs will vote for him for sure, not every OFW is against him.

From 21.9Million yesterday, today it's 21.8Million subscribers and continues to go down.

Wow, ask Tulfo how does all this feel? Sad, getting lonely. This can't even compare to the pain and hurt you did to your wife, Julieta and legitimate daughter, Grendy. Your netizens are jumping ship, just like you did to Julieta and Grendy so many many years ago.

In a political arena where name recall is king, candidates with the same hybrid as Raffy Tulfo will easily salivate the perks of power. With the advent of social media and a dysfunctional justice system, you get a strategy. But still it's a NO for me.

Yeah, he’s probably helped a lot of people but, really?? There's a difference between:

1) genuinely helping people using your own resources  

2) milking people's troubles for YouTube content while earning millions as some poor couples fight, cry for help, and embarrass themselves 

#1 is philanthropist while #2 is a shameless opportunist.

What a joke. However you call it, politics has been a circus here. 

Unfortunately, I am now saying this, we will address him as Sen. Raffy Tulfo come 2022.

Not unless we change our appeal to the masses, these kinds of candidates will win.
