The 2016 national elections is developing into an unprecedented event in the country with social media harnessed heavily for campaigns aside from traditional media. In the 2010 and 2013 elections, social media was also used but this year, the difference is that we have one presidential candidate who has limited funds for ads but is doing very well in the surveys.
Currently 2nd in a formal survey but almost always 1st in various mock elections and informal surveys nationwide, presidential candidate Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has appealed to supporters to help him with the campaign as he will not be accepting donations from big businessmen. The response is an overwhelming support and a real grassroots initiated campaign for Duterte. In social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, there are hundreds of comments, photos, stories and expression of support for Duterte every day. These help his name recall.
Of course, Duterte also has some TV ads but the exposure time pales in comparison to that of most other candidates. Duterte’s campaign has been aided by volunteers who believe in his platform and leadership capability to lead the nation. These volunteers post updates, comments and pictures and graphics to help promote Duterte on their social media accounts. The volume of such posts overwhelm the paid ads and show of support for the other candidates.
Outside the digital domain, the volunteer support is also evident. Free T-shirt printing is being provided by supporters. A friend of mine who prints stickers for his business would utilize the waste cutouts of the stickers and print Duterte stickers. Brochures, banners and tarps are printed and paid for by the volunteers and are distributed around. Many of these are coordinated on Facebook.
Will Duterte’s non-traditional approach to the campaign prove to be the winning move in his bid for the presidency? Would the incumbent advantage of the LP party enough to propel Roxas to victory? Can Poe’s name recall from her adopted father’s fame in the movies do the trick of getting the most votes? Will Binay’s Makati convince the voters to let him run the country? Can Santiago’s brilliance get her on top?
It still remains to be seen.
The campaign strategy of the other candidates seem to be dictated from the top down to the front liners. Duterte’s campaign is simply coordinated by his campaign manager, Maribojoc Mayor Leoncio Evasco, Jr. The volunteers have a loose structure and there is no formal organization imposed on them.
While the public is bombarded with the political ads of the other candidates on TV, the grassroots support and volunteerism is being concocted on social media.
Is this the new form of People Power? 30 years ago, the warm bodies that showed up in EDSA booted out a dictator. Back then there was no social media.
At present, there’s no need to go to EDSA to change the leadership. The click of the send button after tapping words using two thumbs on a mobile device might be enough to start a peaceful revolution that brings positive change to the way things are run in the status quo.

Still on the fence about joining Startup Weekend Bohol 2? Worried that it might just be a time waster? Curious if is it really for you?
Well, worry no more. We’re compiling a list of a couple of things you’ll learn and pick up during this intensive 3 day weekend event.
1. Validate your idea
Now, most of you probably have ideas that you want to pitch during Startup Weekend Bohol 2 and that’s great. Startup Weekend is a good platform to get a chance to see if your idea is really something people want. The fire pitch is the first stage of Startup Weekend and it’s where your idea either gets voted and validated or shafted and forgotten.
Congratulations!
If your idea gets pass the voting stage then your idea is a little bit closer to being validated. But you still have a long way to go and the 3 day event will be stepping stones to taking that idea from just an idea to something people actually want. During the event, you’ll get the chance to get out and get customer feedback from your prospective customers and see if they are really willing to pay for your product.
Startup Weekend will provide you a chance to test that idea you’ve been cultivating in your head into something more than just idea. After all, ideas are dime a dozen. Execution is everything.
2. Learn
Startup Weekend Bohol isn’t just an event, it’s like an educational camp too. You learn by doing and not just theory alone. You only have 54 hours to work on the startup so you’ll get pushed to do more than you think you’re capable of. You’ll be able to challenge yourself and discover skills that you might not even know you have. You’ll be able to wear many different entrepreneurial hats.
Startup Weekend Bohol will allow you to create your own plans, formulate a strategy and test it. What better way to learn something than to dive head on.
3. Step Into The World of Entrepreneurship
Startup Weekend Bohol isn’t just an ordinary event. It’s an event that will give you a chance to see if entrepreneurship is your piece of cake. Many people want to start their own businesses but most people don’t understand how hard it is to start one. Startup Weekend Bohol will help you decide if entrepreneurship is really for you!
During the 54 hour event, you’ll get to taste the different flavors of the entrepreneurial world. You’ll get the chance to validate your idea with customers, figure out your business model, develop your business strategy and execute it.
You won’t only learn the skills needed to start a business but you’ll experience the many emotions an entrepreneur goes through. You’ll get high from happiness because people say they love your idea, but you’ll also get stung by sadness when you realize that people only like your idea but don’t really want to pay for it. The painful love affair will be too much for some and they will end up giving up along the way. But there will be a few who are willing to endure the heartbreak and continue.
Entrepreneurship isn’t for the weak hearted. It takes guts to work hard for many years despite the numerous number of people telling you your idea won’t work until you prove them otherwise. Startup Weekend Bohol will help you decide if being an entrepreneur is what you really want or it’s just a fleeting fancy that you’re just interested in but not passionate about.
4. Find your people
Aside from the education, Startup Weekend Bohol will give you a chance to connect with people who have the same interests as you.
Entrepreneurship is a lonely road. But when you know that there are people out there going through the same things as you are, you’ll feel a lot better knowing that you really aren’t alone after all. They say entrepreneurships are a crazy bunch and they probably are right. What Startup Weekend provides is a way for you to connect with other crazy individuals who want to start a business or probably change the world. It’s great to know you aren’t the only crazy guy out there. A support group, a community, just something that will provide you with comfort that there are other people out there experiencing the same things you’re feeling.
Aside from a support system, Startup Weekend is a great way for you to find a cofounder. It’s a good place for cofounder dating and finding your team. Even if the startup you worked on over the weekend, falls apart, being able to network with many awesome people isn’t that such of a bad deal.
5. Have fun
It’s the weekend! Don’t fret too much. Don’t focus all your energy on winning. Focus on enjoying the experience. Startup Weekend isn’t all work. There’s free flowing coffee. Good food. Great people. And an infectious electrifying energy that will get you riled up and pumping.
Don’t go into Startup Weekend thinking that you’ll create a billion dollar startup out of the event. It’s like a teaser trailer for a movie. The real work is what happens after.
Startup Weekend is held on the weekend so you won’t have to worry about work too much. Instead, you’ll get to work on something you love, express your creative juices and mingle with likeminded people.
