WATCH OUT FOR MORE2COME FORGERIES!

WATCH OUT FOR FORGERS OR FORGERIES in the initiative of the Movement for Reform, Continuity and Momentum (More2Come) to gather 2 million signatures in Metro Manila starting yesterday until Nov. 30 to persuade PNoy to seek a second term as president.

There are ONLY 59 DAYS from yesterday until Nov. 30. That translates to approximately 34,000 SIGNATURES A DAY to achieve the 2 million target.

Common sense will make even a high school kid realize that More2Come will need hundreds, if not thousands, of field personnel to gather 34,000 signatures a day all over the metropolis.

That is, assuming, they have the money to spend for hundreds of workers and their operating needs daily. If they’ll cite the Internet as an alternative means, anyone of us CAN CREATE AS MANY ACCOUNTS as we want in social media using different names, locations and pictures.

But considering the overwhelming number of anti-PNoy posts, in various social media sites like Facebook as against the supposed pro-PNoy, plus the Pulse Asia survey saying six out of 10 do not want a second term for the president, then 34,000 signatures a day won’t be that easy.

Forgeries and other extra-ordinary means would definitely be considered.

On the supposed non-support by Malacanang and the Liberal Party:

More2ome’s signature drive means EXPENSES FOR FOOD AND DRINKS, ALLOWANCES OR HONORARIA for the personnel, INTERNET COSTS, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FARE, GAS MONEY OR RENTALS for privately-owned vehicles, costs of printing the forms for the 2 million signatures and other miscellaneous or operating disbursements.

More2Come did not reveal the number of workers which will conduct their signature drive.

Now, let’s just put the number at 200, and their allowance at P200 each daily. That sums up to P40,000 a day or P2.360 million for 59 days. Add the other expenditures, for 59 DAYS, that I cited and it’s very safe to say that easily the group’s tab would be at least P5 to P10 million.

WHERE WILL MORE2COME get this kind of money?

And let’s not forget the full-page advertisements they came out with in vartiouis broadsheets recently. For those who don’t know, the average cost of full-page advertisements in broadsheets is P200,000 depending on the paper.

They say they’re not being supported financially by Malacanang or the Liberal Party. But neither did they show or name any super-rich sponsor for their initiative in their press conference yesterday.

The only ones who presided over the press conference were the two main leaders of the group, one a defeated mayoralty candidate from Caloocan City and the other a former airport general manager.

But both are not known publicly as being wealthy enough to afford spending millions on a signature drive alone. The losing mayoralty bet claims the signature drive is an initiative of lawyers like him. But he did not name even one of these lawyers.

From all angles, it’s the latest popularity ‘zarzuela’ for PNoy. 30
