Many publications have reported on the boo-ing of Presidential hopeful Jejomar Binay during the Sinulog Festival, Sunday, January 17, morning. He was reported to not being able to address the Cebuanos with a speech which he prepared. Due to the boo-ing he could only say “Maayong Buntag! Viva Pit Senyor!
GMA News’ 24 Oras you can hear the boos from the crowd.
Meanwhile, Inquirer.net reported that there was a “NO CAMPAIGNING” policy during the Sinulog Festival held in Cebu but Binay was allowed to speak.
“The politicians had been sternly warned they cannot campaign, give out freebies or shake hands with revelers to avoid tainting the religious event with political color.”
Netizens took to twitter their opinions and the hashtag #NogNogSinunog was used which some people found offensive.
Hmm. What do you think of this? Do you agree with the ones who posted their opinions?ย
Respeto lng. Hindi pa nakatiis si Binay. Buti pa ang ibang kandidato marunong lumaban ng patas. Dyan malalaman kng walang delikadesa.
Cebuanos do not like epal and not afraid to show dismay. if it was Mar Roxas instead of him. I think Mar will have the same treatment. He’ll get the same boos. Our Sinulog is for everyone who wants to celebrate it but it seems obvious his being a guest has something to do with politics. There are many politicians who are regular guests one is Bong Revilla before he was incarcerated but he doesn’t make it a big deal he doesn’t make any speeches. You’re welcome to be a guest just like others but obviously him being a guest has some connection to politics. He should know better and the clue when he came to Cebu few months ago when it was time for his speech people started leaving. The mayor’s supporters are not Binay’s supporters. If Binay says that he has been a guest of Sinulog since 2010. He never made a fuss, he never made a speech then ? so what change 2016 ? Because he is campaigning if he shut his mouth he would have spared himself from the embarrassment.
How embarrassing to admit at first i rooted for this guy until the tv ads started and got me to realize he is an epal and do not deserve my vote. If he can’t have the decency to stop himself from not following a simple rule of the election. How can I expect him to follow laws and lead as an example?
funny that people acted dirty in a religous event
He deserves every disrespect he gets.
