I’m sure most Filipinos have seen the LBC commercial where remittance is spelled by a child as L-B-C.
Great marketing. Poor taste.
I wonder why it was even allowed on TV?
Don’t we have censors or any governing body anymore that could have disallowed the showing of this advertisement on TV?
Imagine a child IN A SPELLING CONTEST, spelling a word incorrectly and Edu Manzano says “TUMPAK!”
I’m sure I’m not alone in this kind of reception to this commercial. Just look at their YouTube channel and you’ll see all the comments of people there. Not a single soul appreciated the commercial. It was definitely not a good example for our kids.
Perhaps, LBC expected it. Or maybe it was really their intention, to stir up the people’s emotions. That’s viral marketing for you.
Whether the feedback is good or back, there is definitely brand recall.
Bravo!
At whose expense?
Somebody is definitely sleeping on their job, that’s why the commercial made its way on television.
Taking the cue from PinoyAmbisyoso, I am also posting herewith my goals and plans for 2009. And this time, I would like to follow the rules when it comes to setting goals - REALISTIC and SPECIFIC and with that comes a TIME FRAME.
I will post here two sets of goals, first for the month of January 2009 and the second group, for the whole 2009. I may not necessarily post another set for February next month, although I may post updates from time to time.
So here are my goals and plans for January 2009
1) Compose one song - surprised this is the first one on the list? The last time I wrote a song was in 2007. Although none of my songs have ever been recorded commercially
2) Write 3 poems - I am after all a self-proclaimed poet
3) Finish one Papier Tole project - another passion of mine
4) Create, upload and develop the dot com version of The Struggling Blogger - need I say more?
We see a mother giving her son a dozen donuts in a box, and told him to share it with his playmates. The boy then counted all his friends who are busy looking for a place to hide as they were playing hide-and-seek with the boy being the it. As they show his playmates one by one, hearing the boy’s voice on the background… coincidentally, there were twelve of them, including the boy!
Quickly he called all his playmates from hiding and announced that he has donuts to share. When they approached him, the camera showed all eleven donuts gone and just one remaining which was divided into 12 pieces. It seems the boy have consumed all eleven pieces and have left just one piece to share with his friends. Cute… or is it? I say it is an obvious display of greed and selfishness.

Since I have posted other blogs here, I guess I can also post my other blogs too. And while their links may already be in the sidebars, herewith are some brief descriptions of what they are and why they are.
My very first blog. Used to be that I will post everything here… my pains, my views, feelings, news, poems… everything! Until I realized that everything shouldn’t be here. Which began the creation of a series of other blogs. To contain other items that should not be here. This blog is personal.
Now it contains essays and poems, as well as views and latest happenings in my life.
