Noynoy's Lucky Stars

What a show of support.

Say what you will about artistas and endorsements -- that they were only doing it for the money -- but does anyone honestly believe that all of these artistas were paid for this? The word is they offered their services for free. Same for Ogie Alcasid, who wrote the song, and the production crew and shops that did the material.

So why'd they do it -- effectively closing the doors on any other political endorsements, especially now when the demand and price for entertainers doing political endorsements is up?

(That's a rhetorical question, of course.)

And while I'm at it, this kind of leaves Erap, Villar, and Gibo's camps with the leavings of Philippine showbiz, doesn't it? Especially when they'll have to pay for the talent. This kind of blows everyone else out of the water.

Incidentally, I'm sure a lot of you are thinking that this TVC does not remove the pressing need for the NoyMar camp to lay out its program of government ASAP. I wholeheartedly agree.

Nevertheless, this TVC can only help boost the NoyMar campaign.
