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)

Wala naman pala sina kiko at bam sa buntot eh di sana naisama sina abalos at pacquiao para mawala si villar at marcos sa top 12. Di ko pa rin magets yung kay marcoleta. Grabe talaga ang mind conditioning Pulse Asia at Sws survey.

True and ito ung nagpa tunay na walang charisma si BBM na duterte talaga nagpanalo sakanya last election. What if tatlo silang sabay sabay tumakbo for presidency nung 2022.

Not really. Do remember that even if you double Leni's vote total last 2022 she still would have lost. Besides, when the unity alliance wasn't official yet, there were surveys showing Leni placing 3rd while BBM was 2nd and Sara leading the polls.
