The Sexbomb Dancers Election Video

How in God’s name did I miss this video, a song-and-dance number by the Sexbomb Dancers explaining the 2010 automated elections?! Out the other day, the video is thankfully available online, making it easy for me to share it with you, dear readers.

For those who can’t watch the video right now (watch it when you can), the Sexbomb Dancers use their typical high-pitched, low-brow fare—and visual aids—to walk the viewer through the automated election process. In fact, using the egg to represent the circles voters will need to shade come election day, the dance number manages to summarize the whole process in a few stanzas:

Nasa balota na, mga pangalan
ng kandidatong pagpipilian
Alamin na po natin ang automation
Paano nga ba’ng gagawin?
(Anong bagong instruction?)

May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
May bilog, may bilog na hugis itlog
Ang kailangan sa bilog
ay simple-simpleng lang
Itiman, i-shade loob ng bilog

Hanapin ang bilog sa tapat ng pangaln
ng kandidatong napupusuan
Ang bilog, ang bilog
sa tapat ng pangalan
‘Yan ang dapat nating markahan

Gets mo ba? Gets ko na!
Gets na gets na talaga!
Computer ang magbabasa ng ating balota
Kung mali ang pagmarka
Baka boto mo’y mabasura

(Sayaaaaang!)

And for those who pay attention to the entire video, the Sexbomb dancers proceed to list the officials most voters will choose upon election day.

What do you think of the video, dear readers? The Comelec should be eternally grateful to the Sexbomb Dancers, for making a relatively complicated concept as automated elections easy to understand for Juan dela Cruz. It’s just like the prototypical Filipino politician, using song and dance to attract the attention of voters! Only this time, there’s a lot of substance behind the “style”. Kudos to GMA for this!
