akala-mo-manny-villarWe all know Manny Villar’s planning to run for president this 2010. And it looks like he’s not afraid of trying things online to spread the word about his candidacy. Details on part of his online campaign, Akala Mo, follow.

In the grand tradition of fmylife.com, Manny Villar’s Akala Mo allows people to share their random disappointments: “May mga bagay ka bang inaakala? Share mo dito!” The only limits? You’ve got to work within the “Akala Ko… Yun Pala” framework, within a maximum of 280 characters. Some samples:

Akala Ko Graduate na ko yun pala yun pala next year pa

Akala Ko ma wa wash out na kami during tryphoons kasi sa tabi kami ng ilog nakatira yun pala matibay yong dike na pinagawa ng government namin dito, kaya safe na kami rito

Akala Ko akala ko yun pala hindi

Akala Ko akala ko masama yun pala kasama

Akala Mo represents a complete online front, supporting popular online services like Facebook, Twitter, and Blogger. There are even “Tropang Villar”-themed wallpapers available for download. And of course, prominently displayed on the upper right of the site, is a video of Manny Villar’s jingle.

Given the high production values of Akala Mo, it seems the entrepreneur-turned-politician is spending serious money to support his attempt at the presidency. Which makes me wonder: given the limited connectivity in the Philippines, is it even worth it?

    I believe how Sen. Manny Villar can make a difference in our country. I remember when we’re still living in BF Resort, Las-Pinas we’re neighbors and his daughter was my playmate. I remember my mom telling us story how great Manny Villar is. Kasama nila ang mom ko sa pangangampanya when he’s running for mayor. My Dad was a kagawad before and they were good friends way back then. Actually, ninong sya ng kapatid ko swerte nya kc ninong nya president. hehe. Totoong gumawa siya ng sariling pangalan. My mom told me na dati nagtitinda lang daw cla sa palengke. But because of determination and wanting na makabangon sa kahiripan, nagtiyaga at nagsikap para makapag aral. A very good example of an excellent president. Naranasan nya lahat ng hirap sa buhay kaya alam nya kung anong nararamdaman ng mga mahihirap. Super proud ako kc we met a good leader like him. I’m telling everyone how great he is, sa officemates at sa mga friends ko. Patuloy ko tong gagawin dahil gusto ko ng pagbabago naawa ako sa mga mahihirap na nakakasalubong ko at lam ko pag naging Presidente na sya ang dami dami nyang magagawa. I will always pray for you tito Manny. I know God will guide you because you have good intentions for leading our country. Godbless you and your family.=)

    Las Piñero’s
    Before the people read this let me acknowledge that this is not to encourage the crab-mentality of the critics, im also not invited to say something about this.. This is not a campaigne processess nor an advocate.
    I used to put my message box on this area to simply contribute my part as a voter’s this coming 2010. If you were to realized how many person took to run this 2010 merely about thousand of them are declined but some are approved and one of them is Hon. Sen. Manny Villar.
    I grown up in Las Piñas, we arrived and took place from Romblon year 1989 and i was 1 year-old that time. As child who raise in Las Piñas I strongly justify that senator does an Outstanding record whithin the years of reigning out the City. If you were to compare the MAkati to Las Piñ☻s. Las Piñas comes to huge changes since then when the chemistry of Mayor Nene Aguilar & Manny Villar work out to prosphere the place. I just reminisc the time i used to accompany my mom during the election proper in our place where lots of crowd affirm and shout to different elected yet its quite fascinating because every dismissal of the program we had 5kilos pack of rice and goods. I just wondering as a child that time. “what election really are?” Its not the reward we have every campaign session but electing the right one is important to mold our future instead.
    Today I want to say “thank you, to Mayor Vergel “Nene” Aguilar And Sen. Manny Villar to Allowing your constituent experience the progress. As a Matter of fact What Been Advertise to the Jingle is realy true about Senator.
    Before, Our City looks a Rural place No cemented roads, no lights along the street, NO bridges over the creek,NO health-center to cure the sick, NO Free school for the poor until
    Changes Exist when they fought for our rights, Rights to live in the world with a nice and proper living.
    Today Las Piñas Is one the top outstanding City in the Metro. “Nakilala na din kami”
    NOW? my FREE Medical na sa lahat ng mahihirap, FREE I.T & Bussiness School nadin, Murang Pabahay, Great Infrastructure such as., Escalated Over Pass, Bridges, Pigmented Roads, Lights, Program for the youth, Anti-Drugs Campaigne, Pro-Peace commitee, lively hood program and We also had Won the MOst Environmental City of the Philippines 2007.
    I’m one of the Constituent of The city whose simply sought the Liability, Accountability and Leadership of this Man. I’m hoping by this na sana po, hanapin natin kung saan panatag ang loob mo don ka’…
    Sen.Manny Villar is a Product of Goodwill. Thank You po’ God knows who’s righteous and wrecked.

    Good day, my worry for you campaign are false personally representing your party including the marcoses and santiago. Our company is an ad agency by nature, production of advertising collateral. We came across a character ordering a volume of baller band ids for the said aspiring political candidates. We just wish to verify him for he is misrepresenting your party. Do email me so we i can ask further his claims.
