And while these candidates may have a win or lost the election, they will forever be \u2018legendary\u2019 as people will recall them for the rhythm and lyrics of the tracks, giving us the major last song syndrome, Pinoys non-arguably sing along.  <\/p>\n<p>Today, as we wait for 2022 electoral candidates to get full max with their campaign jingles, here\u2019s a rundown of the campaign jingles that made the past election fun and less stressful:<\/p>\n<p>1.\tEddie Ako (Bro. Eddie Villanueva)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic lyrics: Sino bang may malasakit at pag-ibig sa bansa, Eddie ako!<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"QCDZIyVBMuU\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eh Di Ako (Gloc 9 Version)\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QCDZIyVBMuU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>First on the list is the Campaign Jingle of then-presidential aspirant Bro. Eddie Villanueva. Performed by legendary Filipino rapper, Gloc 9, the track aims to introduce self-change and a New Philippines (Bagong Pilipinas). From the lengthy lyrics, the track actually is full of \u2018Eddie Ako\u2019 lines that trigger past election memories from the 2004, 2010, and 2013 elections which Bro. Eddie ran for a government position.<\/p>\n<p>2. Naging Mahirap (Manny Villar)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic lyrics: Nakaligo ka na ba sa dagat ng basura?<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"tGvSiRYF43A\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Naging Mahirap\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tGvSiRYF43A?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Years have passed and this Manny Villar song remains \u2018legendary\u2019 and will forever be remembered especially whenever an election nears in the country. Have you tried being poor? It was the question raised during the year\u2019s election. Giving off the image of being one of the poor and for the poor, this Manny Villar\u2019s campaign jingle has indeed a separate fanbase.<\/p>\n<p>3. Angara Na Sa Senado (Sonny Angara)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic lyrics: Angara, Angara na ako, Angara, Angara na tayo, Angara, Angara ng Pinoy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"CQYvsMdBuBk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"8 sa balota angara sa senado\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQYvsMdBuBk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>It is no surprise that politicians go for anything and anyone when it comes to elections. One great example is the \u2018iconic\u2019 participation of Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo in Sonny Angara\u2019s campaign in 2007. Singing a refreshed version of her hit song \u201cSa Iyo\u201d, Angara\u2019s campaign stunt of going to different places and meeting different people looked like an MV for the 2003\u2019s hit OPM Song.<\/p>\n<p>4. Nandito Na Si Kiko (Kiko Pangilinan)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic Lyrics: K mo sa senado? Kiko Pangilinan!<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"QnTQuuqwwh8\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kiko Pangilinan\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnTQuuqwwh8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Kiko Pangilinan may now be one of those who aspire to lead the country as Vice President, but people wouldn\u2019t forget how he served as a senator, especially with his iconic \u2018Nandito na si Kiko\u2019 campaign jingle inspired by the famous \u2018Bagsakan\u2019 song of Parokya ni Edgar featuring the legends Gloc 9 and Francis Magalona. With the upbeat tune and majorly vibing lyrics, the song is basically one of the most iconic election sounds Filipinos will never forget that Kiko himself is reusing for his 2022 VP bid.<\/p>\n<p>5. Pichay, Itanim Sa Senado (Prospero Pichay)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic lyrics: Oh, Pinoy ito na ang ating panahon. Oh, Pinoy, magmulat ng may bagong umaga.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"eeoH7R5qkYc\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Prospero Pichay ( 2007 Political TV Ad )\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eeoH7R5qkYc?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>If there is a series of cool and vibrant campaign jingles that ever existed, this track for then senatorial candidate Prospero Pichay Jr. perhaps topped the list during the 2007 elections. Rehashed from Bagong Umaga of 6cyclemind, the 3-minute-long campaign song even has people commenting \u201cthe song was very nice\u201d, and \u201cthe medley is excellent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>6. Mr. Palengke (Mar Roxas)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic Lyrics: Hoy, Hoy, Hoy, Mar Roxas, senador.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"RdTL4IjX-VQ\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mar Roxas &quot;Mr. Palengke&quot;\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RdTL4IjX-VQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>It is merely a 36-second campaign commercial with only a 10-second song of Hoy, Hoy, Hoy, Mar Roxas Senador but \u201cMr. Palengke\u201d left more than decades of branding for Filipinos. Set to the widely known \u201cMr. Suave&#8221; of Parokya ni Edgar, this 2019 senatorial campaign jingle is more than just an election promise but more of a secured catchy song people will remember.<\/p>\n<p>7. Pia, Pia, Pia Cayetano (Pia Cayetano)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic Lyrics: Pia Cayetano, sa bawat Pilipino, pasadong-pasado!<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"CBlKmbUXK3o\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pia Cayetano &quot;Pasado&quot; Political Ad - Version 2\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CBlKmbUXK3o?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Even if you tend to forget Pia Cayetano\u2019s campaign jingle, it wouldn\u2019t just let you forget that easily as Pia\u2019s song is filled with her name on the lyrics added with a brief rap that banks on the supremacy of \u2018repeating for people to remember\u2019. And although this song might not be as energetic and catchy as any other campaign track, this Pia Cayetano\u2019s senatorial jingle can be considered part of Pia\u2019s major election victories.<\/p>\n<p>8. Budots (Bong Revilla)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic Lyrics: Just the \u2018Andito na si Bong Revilla\u2019.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"aNxwudJPwuk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BONG REVILLA BUDOTS COMMERCIAL\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aNxwudJPwuk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>You might have seen your younger sibling or your neighbor&#8217;s kids dance to this legendary 2019 campaign ad of Bong Revilla. Showing just himself, the number 9, and kids dancing to his Budots song, the actor turned politician knows exactly what a \u2018kalye\u2019 campaign is for using such a popular song that is commonly played and danced in the streets.<\/p>\n<p>9. Gloria Labandera (Gloria Arroyo)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic lyrics: Gloria, Gloria, Labandera-a-a.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"F11ck6WnGtk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GLORIA, GLORIA LABANDERA - Fred Panopio\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/F11ck6WnGtk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Working hard for a government seat, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo indeed became an \u2018election campaign star\u2019 not with her campaign jingle that seems to never have existed but the Gloria Labandera song that was incorporated to her during the past election. Fred Panopio\u2019s iconic novelty song can be heard every after mentioning the electoral bid of Gloria Arroyo- some got to initially know Gloria as labandera.<\/p>\n<p>10. Erap para sa mahirap (Joseph \u2018Erap\u2019 Estrada)<\/p>\n<p>Iconic Lyrics: Kung may Erap, may ginhawa!<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"hdG6bTfOUwA\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kung May Erap May Ginhawa 2\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hdG6bTfOUwA?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Completing the list is Erap Estrada\u2019s iconic \u2018Kung may erap, may ginhawa\u2019 campaign jingle that features people Erap helped from the past, and the Filipinos that are top \u2018priorities\u2019 in Erap\u2019s public service period according to the jingle. The slogan \u201cErap para sa mahirap\u201d that propelled him to victory in the 1998 election is the same slogan he incorporated into his 2010 campaign election jingle for the President seat.<\/p>\n<p>As we are only two months away from the most awaited election of 2022, we have been witnessing different campaign stunts from electoral candidates from both national and local positions. From the campaign rallies of presidential to senatorial bets to the miting de avances of local candidates, everyone seems to be all out when it comes to wooing the people to support them for the upcoming elections using of course the never \u2018getting old\u2019 campaign jingles.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at these jingles in different genres and styles to make the campaign period more engaging to the public, if there is one thing that most candidates wanted to portray, it is to make people know and hear that they are indeed part of the poorest of the poor. They are for every Filipino- all genders, ages, and religions. Thus, while we are currently choosing who among the present candidates we are going to root for, we can also consider further hearing and learning the platforms of the candidates while having fun with their campaign jingles.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo\/?fbid=106636769846&amp;set=a.106635529846<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From &#8220;Naging mahirap&#8221; to &#8220;Nandito na si Kiko&#8221;, which of the iconic past campaign jingles have made you sing-along?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[7863],"class_list":["post-215596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-thetalk","tag-social"],"zyndk8_nxtgen_metadata":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=215596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/215595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=215596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=215596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=215596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
