Alfelor Warns Against Dirty Tactics, Black Props
As the election campaign period is nearing the end game, LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD gubernatorial candidate warns the public against dirty tactics and black propaganda.
"I would like to warn the public, especially my supporters that as we approach election day, that lies will be said against me. It is quite customary during elections that as we get near the election day itself, the enemy camp starts propagating black propaganda that aims to derail the leading candidate." Alfelor said.
Alfelor said that this is a tragic element of our election system so he just accepts this fact and prepares for such black propaganda. He added that the best preparation is to inform the public that such things happen and appeals to them to think twice before believing such news.
"They would spread news that Nancing is sick, had a heart attack, or even that I am dead, just to confuse my supporters. They have done that in the past elections and I know they will do that again." He added. "Even my own family sometimes call me up to ask if I met an accident because people are texting them asking if this is true."
Recently, in the midst of the defections of some Lakas leaders to the Villar and Aquino camps, Alfelor had been rumoured to be supporting the Liberal Party.
"This is not true. I am still with Lakas and will stay with Lakas until election day. Lies like these are being peddled as legitimate news and it is regrettable that things like these are part of Philippine elections." Alfelor said.
