VP Maria Leonor “Leni” G. Robredo’s presidential campaign is expected to gain more momentum two weeks before the elections, political analysts said, as her rally near the Philippine capital drew almost half-a-million supporters at the weekend. READ:
“All available evidence suggests that the Robredo-Pangilinan group has strong momentum heading into the elections,” Ador R. Torneo, a professor and director of De La Salle University’s Institute of Governance, said in an e-mail.
Mr. Torneo said Ms. Robredo’s campaign has been boosted by endorsements from local leaders and her supporters’ house-to-house activities. Mr. Torneo said the heavy involvement of volunteers in the opposition tandem’s campaign activities is something new in Philippine politics. The challenge for a campaign pushed by a movement of volunteers is messaging discipline, Michael Henry Ll. Yusingco, a research fellow at the Ateneo De Manila University.
Arjan P. Aguirre, who teaches political science in Ateneo, said the opposition tandem’s supporters must painstakingly listen to people who have opposing views.
