[...] Sigaw ng Bayan is full of propaganda-speak, describing the more technical knowledgeable detractors as elitists and praising the “lowly people, the poor, those who suffer away silently due to the state of affairs of this country, [who] would like to visit a site like ww w.sigawngbayan.com.” Yuga reacts: “Mr. Lambino must also be reminded that 99% of his so-called grassroots visitors don’t even have computers, much less internet in their own homes. They’d rather use their hard-earned Php25 for a kilo of rice than an hour’s rent in a net cafe.” [...]

But of course everyone wants to be identified with the masa..and be perceived as anti-elitist. Thus SnB projects itself as with the masses. Besides, how else would it justify the billions of alleged hits when everyone knows the masses outnumber the elites (elitists?) in this country any old time?

As for Lambino’s People’s Initiative, let him have his roadshow. Everyone– including himself– by this time know P.I is just a cover for the real intent of a Constituent Assembly now steadily unraveling as the Da Venecia Code.

C’mon guys, can’t you decipher a Code when you see one?

I’ve been called many things, but never elite!
I detest that!

As jangelo so aptly described their motive….

“all your base are belong to us….”

i’m proudly masa, and i happen to be one of those that cover the likes of lambino whenever they feel the need to troop to the palace for media exposure.

i would like to think that my Creator gifted me with the skill to comprehend. i’ve been covering their group and until this day, i always ask myself after their presscons— why i get the feeling that they never “connect”? sure i get what they shared during the presscons, we report em, remember? but , (media) duties aside…their bunch inexplicably makes a lot of mediamen “feel distant”. they alienate.

i get them (verbally), i don’t get them (personality wise).

especially after one of them branded a group (bloggers) as “elitist”, when that pointing finger should have been pointed towards their bunch.

now i don’t wonder why it is hard to really get where they are coming from.

how will the people get them when they don’t even know the kind of people (masa) they are talking about?

why should people listen to people who call people “lowly people”? casually, at that!

thanks yuga, this entry of yours, finally explained why i don’t get them.

how could i have missed it? they are from a “different level”. and oh yeah, i missed it because i was trying really hard NOT to think it’s all about the war of the classes. geez.

and these are the people who want to tinker with the consti for all of us?

free publicity on the blogosphere maybe to generate the traffic they claimed?

jangelo = “All Your Base Are Belong To Us!”

Why not give them a business card, Abe? They might be in need of your consultancy services.

The way he talks about his webstats smacks “newbie alert” to me. *yawm* He’s so amazed at the IP location and all that. The internet cafe in the province is not that cheap if you consider their disposable income.

thanks, yuga. i think SnB should stop drawing people into a “class war” esp since they don’t even know everyone in the blogosphere. karamihan dito mga students, writers, and just ordinary, homespun folk who enjoy blogging.

Let him bark about how many gazillions of visitiors he “perceives” the sigaw ng bayan site receives. Maybe he is thinking that this is actually the way to make SGB reach such stats.

I’m now more interested in knowing about SGB’s adsense earnings.
