(UPDATE) Senator Grace Poe attacked the administration party anew on Saturday night, this time for allegedly trying to stop her presidential bid and now asking her to withdraw from the race.
âPipili lang ba tayoâpasensya na pero kailangan ihayagâpipili lang ba tayo ng isang corrupt? Pipili lang ba tayo ng isang palpak at mabagal na walang pakiramdam? O pipili ba tayo ng isang pumapatay na walang hustisya?â
âMga kababayan, hindi ako perpekto; walang taong perpekto sa mundo. Pero ako ay may takot sa Diyos at ako ay may takot sa inyo, na alam ko âpag hindi ko ginawa ang aking trabaho nang tama, mananagot ako sa Diyos at mananagot ako sa inyo at mananagot ako sa nanay ko,
[INNUENDO]
The first statement contains remarks on her rivals, the unfeeling Mar Roxas, the corrupt Binay, and the evil / murderous DuterteShe also claim that her biggest advantage is probably her fear of the Lord, she also states that she has a very strong support system on her family, compared to the othern contestants for the race
After a grueling, eventful 90 days, Sen. Grace Poe ended her campaign where it beganâin the historic Plaza Miranda, fronting the Quiapo church, which holds personal significance for her.
G. Poe chose to end her campaign on a small venue, near Plaza Miranda in front of the Quiapo Church.
âMany told me that we might not all fit in the place. But itâs symbolic for me. This is not just a simple miting de avance. This is for our message that what we are doing is for the people and in accordance with the will of God,...â
We classify this under the [RATIONALIZATION FALLACY], she reasoned out that the place i very luck for her. Thatâs were she kicked start her campaign on the presidential elections, in which she received 20 million votes and placed first. She is also on a street near the place when she received the news that she is not disqualified for the race. She is claiming that the place is lucky for her and that her candidacy and probable victory is Godâs will for her and for the Filipinosâ this is definitely fallacious, and her use of this emotional/ spiritual manipulation has probably hidden motives
PRESIDENTIAL candidate Grace Poe took a shot at rival Rodrigo Duterteâs plan to use extrajudicial means to solve crime and the drug problem, maintaining that killing was not the only solution.
âKilling is not the only solution. We will not wait too long (in meeting our goals of a crime- and drug-free society). What we need to do is be organized, we need to have justice,â
This is an [INNUENDO], targeted to Mayor Duterte. Grace Poe emphasized that Justice is more important, due process needs to be followed. She emphasize that killing is not the only solution, which was never accepted by Mayor D. The word âorganizeâ used here was vague, it can be to pertain to her âorganizedâ style of handling proceedings.... proir her organized program against crime and rugs,,,,, who by looking at Mr. Duterte seems all over the place, and seems as if he only knows one spot.
MANILA â Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada endorsed on Monday his god-daughter, Senator Grace Poe, for the 2016 presidential elections during his own proclamation rally for a reelection bid at the Liwasang Bonifacio on Mondaynight.
âNinong tell me the truth, did you support me because you were afraid that daddy might haunt you?â - Poe
This is definetely a [SARCASM]! The crowd of around 50,000 in Liwasang Bayan errupted at the thought of FPJâs ghost, anyway the statement seems to work, as it shows how Poe is warm and loving to her Ninong Erap, and how Erap is also fond of Grace.
Presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe tells the public on Friday that if theyâre happy with the present administration or prefer an iron-fist leadership, then they should not to vote for her.
When asked about her thoughts on a possible Duterte administration:
â I still hope for the best, especially when it comes to the markets, and the countryâs standing in the international community.â- Poe
This is some sort of an Irony, a [DOWNPLAYING], it downplays Duterteâs probable administration, implying that she sees it lacking poor economic foundation and with lack of plans to relate to the international community.

Presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe tells the public on Friday that if theyâre happy with the present administration or prefer an iron-fist leadership, then they should not to vote for her.
While recognizing that the present administration might have made economic gains and strides, Poe noted that the people continue to be disillusioned as they have yet to feel it.
âBut it will take at least another administration and perhaps another one for it to be able to trickle down but at that particular level of growth or higher,â she said in an interview over ABS-CBN News Channelâs (ANC) Headstart program.
âThatâs why what Iâm saying is, if youâre happy where you are right now okay, donât vote for me. If you think that what theyâve done is enough and youâre happy that our country has already achieved what it needs to achieve, donât vote for me. If you want to go back 30, 40 years from where we were, donât vote for me.â
This is another example of [DOWNPLAYING] that probably works. Instead of downplaying the merits of her rivals, she made a statement to the audience that if you don;t vote for me, the change you want to see in this country is only this, bad, with no intention to improve
[SARCASM]
She carefully used her nameâs acronym for the message of âGobyernong may Pusoâ
She also now have stickers in Viber, and yet again, using her name as part of the phrases.Â
[PERSUASION USING IMAGES]
She also have pictures with Coco Martin, a very successful actor in ABS-CBN; Ogie Alcasid, an actor from GMA; and President Fidel V. Ramos, a former president of the Philippines, to help her campaign. Â She has pictures with them that is shared through out Facebook.
Her Facebook page shares picture of people supporting her through wearing merchandise with her name on it. Some are sculptor, Impy Pilapil Albert Avellana from Avellana Art Gallery, Rajo Laurel, restaurateur Malu Gamboa, Â baker Lynet Villa, members of ISSA Learner Drivers Association in Hongkong, Jamie Rivera,etc. There are actually a lot more famous people who have pictures that supports Poe.

â27%: Argus Polls. 25%: Standard Polls. 25%: Pulso ng Pilipino... Kitang-kita na pumapangalawa si Grace Poe. Si Grace Poe ay may trust rating na 54%. Kung para kay Mar Roxas na 36% lamang. Siya ang labas na pinakamalakas na katunggali ni Duterte.â
[PROOF SURROGATE]
Although the first part was credible with naming the origin of the statistics, the credibility was abruptly lost due to absence of reference.
[RHETORICAL ANALOGIES]
Saying that Grace Poe has higher trust rate than Mar Roxas and is the most powerful opponent makes it appear that Poe is better than Roxas and Duterte.
âPanahon na para magbigay ng daan si Mar Roxas. Kung dati ay nagawa ni Mar Roxas sa kandidatura ni Pnoy, bakit hindi siya nagbigay ng daan sa ikararangal at ikauunlad sa sambayan ng Pilipinoâ
[ARGUMENT THROUGH ANALOGY]
The video is showing that if Roxas once was able to give way to President Benigno Aquino, he must also give way to the one and only honorable and progressive candidate for the society. The clip is suggesting that If Roxas can give way to one, he must be able to give way to the other.Â
[INNUENDO]
The ikararangal at ikauunlad are adjectives referring to Grace Poe.Â
âKung paparaya si Mar Roxas, 41% ng kangyang botante ay maaring lumipat kay Grace Poe.â
[PROOF SURROGATE]
Where did she get that percentage? We would not know for sure, since she did not give any sources.Â

âLIPAT NA âPOEâ TAYO!â

Sa Gobyernong may Puso, Walang Maiiwan
[SARCASM]
She is quick-witted to incorporate the phrases proposed in her pillars as the message for those who might subscribe/support her.
Note: Her two pillars are âGobyernong may Pusoâ and âWalang Maiiwanâ. Â
Pillar 1: Walang Maiiwan
[EUPHEMISM]
â Walang Maiiwanâ (âNo one will be Left Behindâ) sounds rather pleasing than saying âPara sa Lahat ng Taong Bayanâ (âFor the Massesâ).
Pillar 2: Gobyernong may PusoÂ
[EUPHEMISM]
â Gobyernong may Pusoâ (âGovernment with a Heartâ) is just another better phrase for âGobyernong may Malasakitâ (âGovernment with Compassionâ). Â
â...Work towards increasing the share of education to 6% (currently at 4.59%) of the GDP in accordance to UNESCO standards.â
âMSMEs comprise 99% of all Philippine firms and 61% of Filipino jobs...â
â... We will strive to increase our annual infrastructure spending to 7% of GDP from the current 5%...â Â
[PROOF SURROGATE]
The presented statistics in her pillars were neither cited nor backed up with credible sources. Everything should must be accurate, even down to the decimals. Numbers should not be randomly thrown everywhere. Â Â
SO MUCH argumentation has taken place about the present status of Sen. Grace Poe's citizenship. While conceding that she might have been deemed a natural-born Filipino at birth.
*for additional information*
    SO MUCH argumentation has taken place about the present status of Sen. Grace Poeâs citizenship. While conceding that she might have been deemed a ânatural-born Filipinoâ at birth, a myriad commentaries insist she could only be a ânaturalized Filipinoâ when she âreacquiredâ Filipino citizenship under Republic Act No. 9225 (âThe Citizenship Retention and Re-acquisition ActâÂ), after losing it earlier.
    The case of Bengzon vs. HRET has categorically settled that: âIt is apparent that there are only two classes of citizens: (1) those who are natural-born and (2) those who are naturalized in accordance with law. A citizen who is not a naturalized Filipino, i.e., did not have to undergo the process of naturalization to obtain Philippine citizenship, necessarily is a natural-born Filipino. Noteworthy is the absence of a separate category of person who, after losing Philippine citizenship, subsequently reacquireâ it. The reason is clear: as to such persons, they are either natural-born or naturalized . As Cruz was not required by law to go through naturalization proceedings in order to reacquire his citizenship, he is perforce a natural-born Filipino.
     âÂNothing can be more explicit. By interpreting the word âreacquireâ in the Bengzon case (albeit involving RA 2630, âAn Act Providing for Reacquisition of Philippine Citizenship by Person who lost Philippine Citizenship by Rendering Services to the Armed Forces of the United StatesâÂ) as meaning ârecover, or return to, (oneâs) original status before he lost his Philippine citizenship,â the Supreme Court (en banc no less) has already spoken not only for the party in that case, but for all others similarly situatedââi.e., that Poe (1) not having undergone any naturalization process to obtain Philippine citizenship, must necessarily be deemed a natural-born Filipino, and (2) despite having lost her Philippine citizenship, has recovered, returned to, her original status as natural-born Filipino upon reacquiring Philippine citizenship under RA 9225.
    That is the prevailing doctrine. Any modification or abandonment of the principles laid down by that doctrine can take effect only prospectively and not retroactively just as the abandonment of the âcondonation by reelectionâ doctrine is deemed not applicable to Makati City Mayor Junjun Binay, but only to future shenaniganizers. Poe cannot be disqualified on the basis of any new ruling by the Supreme Court reversing the Bengzon ruling. If Binay is still allowed to enjoy the benefit of that âAguinaldo doctrineâ before its formal trashing, why canât Poe avail herself of the same benefit under the Bengzon doctrine?â
Grace Poe used the song "Bagong Umaga" by Bayang Barrio as her jingle for her campaign. The "catchiness" of the song tends to stuck on our head and replay it over and over again, which we call it LSS (last song syndrome), so people can remember her very well. This kind of campaign is very effective , since it is inevitable for our brains to ignore such catchy song. Â
* To highlight more important parts and to be more concise, some parts of her interview are translated into ellipsis*
Mike Enriquez: Sino po sa mga candidato na tumatakbong presidente ang pinakamatinding kalaban ninyo?
Grace Poe: Alam mo manong Mike, pagdating ko dito, sobra akong sentimental, sapagkat nunghuling pagpunta ko dito ay 2013. At mga panahon nayon, ako'y dehadong-dehado sa pagka-senador. Napakalyo ang aking rating... Kaya sa pagtanong ninyo po,sinong kalaban? Lahat po ay may kanyang-kanyang may aalay sa bayan, kakayanan. Wala tayong minamaliit o masyadong sinasanto... Lahat po yan kailangan nating pagaaralan...
Mike Enriquez: Sa mahabang sagot po ninyo, ibig mong sabihin ba nawala?
Grace Poe: Wala, kasi lahat sila may kanyang-kanyang lakas.
[RED HERRING]
Poe did not answer directly. She gave information and ran around the bush. He noticed this fallacy and quickly cut her answer short to ask again. Mike have to ask her what is her firm answer in order to be clarified. She was not on point.
Mike asked about her citizenship and residency:
Grace Poe: ...milyong-milyong nating kababayan sa ibang bansa, at kaya tayo ay may Dual Citizenship Act at sinasabing bagong bayani nais bumalik dito para makapiling ang kanilang pamilya. Ang ating bansa ay pinalutang ang ekonomiya dahil sa mga kababayan na nagsakripisyo nawalay sa pamilya dahil sa kakulungan dito ng oportunidad. Kaya nagpasya nang umalis para tumulong sa ating makakabayan. kaya para saakin, hindi naman dapat mapanuri tungkol dito... tungkol ito sa milyong-milyon nating makakabayan na may parehong sitwsyon na pareho saakin. bumabalik dito paramakalingkod.
[APPEAL TO COMMON PRACTICE]
Poe categorized herself as an OFW or Bagong Bayani, fellow Filipinos who have the situation as her that went abroad and back in order to help their fellow countrymen. Thinking that it is righteous to go back to the Philippines to help, Poe believes there is nothing wrong with dual citizenship, just because everyone does it.Â
Mike asked about her idea on being hands-on on things:
Poe:... minsan kailangan rin natin ang pagkalinga at pagtutok ng isang nanay. Hindi ba ng isang nanay nagtratrabaho, pero sya parin nagtututok sa kanyang anak, pagkain sa bahay. ang katulad ng isang magulang mag multitask. Alam natin ano ang kailangan ng bayan...hindi ako natatkot sa walang tulog...alam natin ano kailngan pra umunlad sa sitwasyon ng mahihirap...
[ARGUMENT FROM ANALOGY]
Poe juxtaposed the characteristics of being hands-on of a loving and caring mother and a responsible president. A mother are focused with their children, and the president are focused with his people. Personally, she is sort of like saying âI have experiences as a mother, so I am capable to handle my people. â
Poe: ...ang hindi natin nagastos ay lampas sa 600 billion pesos from 2011 to 2014. Sa 2015 naman, 300 billion hindi nagasta.... Undercollection sa bureau of custom ay maabot sa lampas ng 150 billion taon taon. Sa undercollection ng BIR nasa 300 billion. 20% lang ng ating populasyon ay talagang nagbabayad ng buwis...
[PROOF SURROGATE]
How did Poe get these stats? She did not cite from where she got it to prove her statements. We are not sure if it is true. Although we are aware that she is a politician and higher is the probability that she is accurate, we should not be lax in these kinds of stat, because some may be exaggerated or mitigated for her own benefits. Â
Poe: Babaan ko ang buwis. lahat tayo ay bebenepisyo dito. ang ating buwis ay umaabot ng hangganf 32% ng binabayad, sa mga pinakang mataas sa buong Asya. Ang incorperate income tax natin halos ang pinakamataas sa Asya 30%. ngayon papasok tayo sa Asian Economic Integration, saan na ang kapit bahay natin na buwis nila ay 17% 15%, tapos tayo 30%? sino mangunguhunan dito?... bumaba ang buwis sa Russia kaya maskaya na magbayad ng buwis, kaya mas madami nagbayad ... gagawin ko lahat para babaan ang buwis, para babayad ang mga tao.
She also talked about peace and order. Being hands on. She kept using tutukan in her answers. She wants to tutukan to drugs, criminal, traffic, lowering of food price, lowering the tax, etc.
Poe: Sa first 100 days, dapat may infrastructure room sa Malacanang, lahat ng prayoridada na prokeyto ng infrastaktura nasa office of the president na... kaya ung mga yun any kalangan na tutukunan para ma implementa na...
Poe: ...ung peace and order kailangan na sa ako na mismo ang nakikitang bantayan national security threat ang drugs at yung mga nagtutlak ng droga. ako na mismo, kung ako ang pangulo, ako ang tututok sa PDEA, sa PNP, military. ako personal...malaking bagay kung ang pangulo mismo ang sumisiyasat sa nagyayare... pwede maglagay ng cctv paramatunton sino ang mga baranggay captain. kailangan ko maging hands-on... Â
[FAR-FETCHED FALLACY]
it seems that she wants to be hands-on. She wants to make every detail to be personally thought over, PERSONALLY. some of her ideas could be far-fetched, like the lowering of taxes, to have an abrupt change in the collection of taxes. She has so many things to give attention, and she wants to make each project to be personally handled. Her words seems to sweet to be possible. There are so much Utopian ideas she wants to be implemented. She wants to give spotlight in every aspect that seems impossible to execute.
Poeâs pronouncement comes after being asked to comment on Rodrigo Duterteâs sincerity regarding his bank account
âThe Philippines is in need of a President who is true to his promises with a word of honor. So this coming election, vote for the candidate who can fulfill pledges made in the campaign,â Poe said.
[INNUENDO]
In the sense, that sheâs implying that among the candidates she upholds a âpalabara de honorâ (n. promise). Â And that she is the most reliable in working to what she is saying/promising.
This is also definetely a âpatamaâ to Duterte who is very much criticized by the media due to his inconsistent statements. Â
Senator Grace Poe has challenged Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte to reveal all his assets if he really has nothing to hide. Poe said Duterte should squarely face allegations that he has hidden wealth, the same way that she confronted her opponentsâ claims she was not qualified to run for President.
âMy life is an open book. I have made public all my records and transactions to remove all doubts,â the senator said in an interview after having breakfast with workers in Marikina City (Metro Manila).
She noted that if the Davao mayor has nothing to hide regarding his bank accounts, he should disclose all of his bank transactions and not limit the disclosure to his chosen dates of transactions.
âSo âyon lang naman, kung wala namang itinatago, e âdi ilabas, âdi ba, para at least matapos na âyan kasi ilang araw na lang ang natitira [So thatâs it, if he is not hiding anything, then disclose all so that we can put the issue to rest because we only have a few days left before the elections],â Poe said.
