Lakas-Kampi-CMD presidential bet Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. is set to launch in the coming days his new political television advertisement following his decision to pull out the controversial ad jingle composed by former Rivermaya lead singer Rico Blanco who accused the Teodoro camp of infringement of property rights for the unauthorized use of his song “Posible.”
As this developed, Teodoro expressed belief that the so-called Filipino “masa” has matured in the political sense that they can now analyze and appreciate a high-level campaign similar to what he is waging than just mere banking on an individual’s popularity in choosing their preferred candidate.
“Ako ay tiwala na ang masa ay may likas na galing, may likas na talino,” Teodoro said in an interview.
Teodoro lamented that some politicians are patronizing the “masa” as those who are incapable of digesting high level political issues that they are left with no other option but to appreciate the cheap gimmicks of candidates mostly banking on popularity than drum beating their platform of governance.
“We consider this kind of strategy as ‘patronizing’ and I will never do that to our fellow countrymen who we call the ‘masa’,” he emphasized.
According to well-placed sources from the Teodoro camp, the new political ad will highlight Teodoro’s passion for flying planes being a licensed commercial pilot who also holds the rank of a colonel in the Philippine Air Force Reserve Command.
Feeling upbeat and youthful, sources said the new political ad shows 45-year-old Teodoro inside the cockpit of a C-130 military cargo plane that was preparing to take off for the conduct of a mercy mission to a calamity-stricken area in the country.
The short video of Teodoro, who served as defense secretary from August 2007 to November 2009, ends with same motif. Only this time, he is inside a modern-equipped jet plane.
“The message is pure and simple. Teodoro, being a qualified pilot, will fly the country to greater heights of progress and prosperity,” the source claimed.
The Teodoro political ad is expected to be shown in the coming days as a replacement to the controversial TV ad that used the song “Posible.”
