INSTEAD of promoting “hate politics,” several supporters of Presidential Aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. have launched the positive campaign program advocated by Marcos in support of his presidential race in the upcoming 2022 polls.

Marcos, who is promoting “Pagkakaisa at hindi Pagkansela” on his 184th BBM Vlog, hailed the different forms of ‘positive campaigning’ initiated by his supporters to strengthen his candidacy.

Marcos, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) standard-bearer, said he intends to pursue a unique campaign style and avoid engaging in gutter politics.

“Ikinatutuwa ko naman at hinahangaan ko ‘yung mga supporter natin dahil may ilang grupo na naglunsad ng napaka-positibong pangangampanya,” said Marcos.

“Mayroon nag-beach clean-up sa Boracay, nag-tree planting, may mga nag-community pantry, may nagpapakain, may gumagawa na tinatawag nilang BBM discounts, kabaliktaran ito ng boycott,” Marcos added.

Marcos, who is seen by many as a unifying leader, also appealed to the followers of other politicians to avoid the so-called ‘cancel culture’ or boycotting or hate politics, especially during this pandemic.

“Yun lang ‘yung hindi ko matanggap ay nadadamay pa ‘yung maliliit na negosyo at negosyante, ang tinutukoy ko ay ‘yung tinatawag na ‘cancel culture,’ nakarating sa akin ang mga balita na may bino-boycott daw na kanilang restaurant, kanilang negosyo, mga barberya, kanilang hanapbuhay dahil lamang sila ay may sinusuportahang pulitiko o dahil sila ay aking supporter. Nakakalungkot naman na ito ay nangyayari sa panahon ng pandemya,” Marcos added.

Marcos said he would continue to promote positive campaigning as he encouraged all his supporters to avoid engaging in political bickering.

“Saludo ako sa mga ideyang ito, dahil bukod sa makabago ay may malasakit sa kapwa at kapaligiran. Maraming salamat sa ating mga taga-suporta at ipagpatuloy niyo lang ang pagpapakalat ng maganda nating mensahe, sa halip na mag-kansela tayo ay magkaisa,” Marcos added.
