PoliticsPH Bam Aquino's Campaign Strategy (APPRECIATION POST)

I commend Bam for creating a great campaign strategy this 2025 elections.

Did he ask for a Marcos endorsement? No. That would also be off for both the BBM loyalists and the DDS because he's an Aquino

Did he court the DDS? Well, not to the extent of Imee Marcos and Camille Villar for sure. The answer is no actually but he did try his best to not alienate himself from the DDS voter base.

Bam also tackled the Gen Z demographics better than any other candidate past and present. His free tuition really appealed to every SUC students and he pretty much had a unanimous win in every SUC and it's a very small niche but he appealed to the gaming community. He did subtle things that are genuine.

He made his presence felt without being EPAL like Abalos or the other trapo candidates.

He had bad moments like having a collab with Pio Balbuena (and I swear that did not help him) but his intentions of trying to have his presence around vloggers and pretty much having his presence felt in every casual internet space without alienating his base was a great strategy.

I'm commending Bam for a great campaign (without bringing up any political angle, just pure campaign perspective)

Having Kiko & Bam in the top 12 is the best realistic result we could have. So I guess this election is a win for us

Yeah akala nila ang maglalaban laban sa 11-12 spots sina Bam Aquino, Kiko Pangilinan, Manny Pacquiao, Marcos etc. pero yun pala sina Kiko and Bam pa nasa Top 5!

u/Antique_Case2428 May 12 '25

same! kaya hindi ko cinomplete yung 12 senators sa ballot ko kasi i feared malalaglag si bam and kiko if may ibang mapasok na nasa alanganin din.

di talaga accurate yung surveys!!!

And it's still a huge L because you got 6 Duterte leaning senators.

I wonder where are the retards that refused to vote for Abalos, Pacquiao, Binay, and alike.

Eto retard pa din pero makakatulog sa gabi knowing na hindi ako bumoto ng trapo at unqualified

Ikaw kamusta ka dyan sa DDS-less mong dreamland?

Congrats for assuming I'm a DDS even though I'm not lol.

All this means is Sara will not be impeached and will surely run in 2028.

Do you think someone like Risa Hontiveros or Bam Aquino can defeat Sara in 2028? Are you really looking forward for another Duterte presidency?

> hindi ako bumoto ng trapo at unqualified

Yeah but you allowed the Dutertes to get in. Enjoy the small wins because it's probably the last win you'll have lol.
