Politics 2.0?
Is politics in the Philippines already on the next level?
In terms of cerebral calisthenics, not quiet yet, because of the mudslinging and carnival like approach of campaigning. There were some improvements, I would say. It is interesting to note thought how some politicians are using blogs and social networking sites in their campaign.
Google/Facebook Ads, Blogger meet-ups, Facebook Fan Page, Dedicated blogs of and for the candidates, an army of blog commenters and twitterers, are new means of campaigning.
I wrote a commentary at blogwatch.ph about this, you may read it HERE

yah!! i saw some ads of manny villar within facebook pages. maybe the next level is also a “PLUS FACTOR” for vote increasing. other media such as the internet, specifically those social networking (friendster, facebook, .. etc) will have a good impact for social influencing. But in the long run, those actions may lead to good or bad position in the country so always BEWARE.
These politicians are indeed taking advantage of today’s internet technology. Even so, we Filipinos, should also take the time out to know who we are voting for…that’s our responsibility as citizens of the country. Thanks for posting, great site!
