VIRAL: What’s wrong with this billboard in Batangas?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In the Philippines, it’s not unusual to see government project billboards accompanied by the name and a large photo of the politician in charge of the project.<br /><br />Despite the Aquino administration’s campaign against putting faces on billboards, posters and banners of government projects, these types of materials are still rampant in the country.  As the campaign period for the 2016 elections draws near, we should expect more politicians to use project billboards to promote themselves in the coming days.<br /><br />While it’s certainly not strange to encounter politicians’ self-advertisements on project billboards, one particular billboard in Batangas has captured the attention of netizens for a particular reason. <br /><br />On Facebook, netizen Jb Angeles shared a photo of a billboard of a certain government project in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas. At first glance, you’ll probably assume it’s an ordinary project billboard which includes the name of the project as well as the name and photo of the public servant behind it.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSjHBhhyphenhyphenU3yg7bAPsdZuyfyA399aG0XnBthNhYbuJk_dfRccrZOZ581LkXQ41Mugt5xqmF-NGzEUG8gNFN-6WCW4KYkPtZx98i1VWHqQn6HcD1EgqJili3AY-I86NE5UBfPzevOPswMYs/s1600/epic-billboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Project billboard in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas draws laughs from netizens" border="0" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSSjHBhhyphenhyphenU3yg7bAPsdZuyfyA399aG0XnBthNhYbuJk_dfRccrZOZ581LkXQ41Mugt5xqmF-NGzEUG8gNFN-6WCW4KYkPtZx98i1VWHqQn6HcD1EgqJili3AY-I86NE5UBfPzevOPswMYs/s640/epic-billboard.jpg" title="Project billboard in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas draws laughs from netizens" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Project billboard in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas draws laughs from netizens. PHOTO CREDIT: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1227328973949932&set=a.103865929629581.8456.100000185248005&type=3&theater" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook/JB Angeles</a></td></tr></tbody></table>However, a closer look at the billboard would reveal what’s wrong with it. <br /><br />On the photo, you’ll easily spot Mataas na Kahoy Mayor Jay Manalo Ilagan’s photo strategically placed on the lower left corner, while the phrase “This is Where Our Taxes Go” is located across the photo on the lower right side. An arrow pointing to the photo of Ilagan is found in between the two.<br /><br />Merely basing on the billboard, it’s safe to assume that the taxpayers’ money goes to Ilagan. <br /><br />Angeles’ post has quickly gone viral amassing 836 shares on Facebook as of this writing. While many netizens blamed the layout artist for the epic billboard failure, several netizens sarcastically pointed out that Ilagan should be re-elected for his “honesty”.<br /><br />The  Anti-Epal policy of the Aquino administration urges public officials  who launch programs for their constituents not to put their names and faces on signage to promote themselves. Although the policy was widely lauded when it was announced, many politicians refused to follow the order. <br /><br />Watch the video.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="355" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7PqP47gHz3c" width="600"></iframe></center><br /><b><i>-Mini/TheSummitExpress</i></b></div>

Majority of the shopping malls will open at 9:00 a.m. on December 24 and 31 and will cut short its operation hours due to December 25 Christmas and New Year celebration.<br /><br />On December 25, select SM malls in Metro Manila and provincial areas will open at 10:00 a.m. and will close at 10:00 p.m. (extended mall hours for Christmas). Last year, SM Cinema opened as early as 8am to give way for the annual Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).<br /><br />Shoppers are expected to flock at SM malls to purchase gifts for their loved ones, shop or watch their favorite MMFF 2015 entries.<br /><br />For the shoppers who want to enjoy the luxury of avoiding traffic jams, mall schedule is very important. Most shoppers want to beat the deadline of giving gifts to their friends and family members.

It says that GMA continued to pull away from its closest competitor in National Urban Philippines, increasing its lead over ABS-CBN to 5.7 points. Driven by its strong performance across all dayparts, GMA posted a 39.3 percent total day household audience share in NUTAM, beating ABS-CBN’s 33.6 percent as well as TV5’s 8.2 percent.<br /><br /><br /><b>ABS-CBN remains on top of ratings game in November</b><br /><br />The Kapamilya Network kept a stronghold of the primetime block hitting an average audience share of 49% nationwide versus rival’s 33%. The primetime block is the most important part of the day when most Filipinos watch TV and advertisers put a larger chunk of their investment in to reach more consumers effectively.<br /><br />Kantar Media uses a nationwide panel size of 2,609 urban and rural homes that represent 100% of the total Philippine TV viewing population, while the other ratings data supplier AGB Nielsen reportedly has only 1,980 homes based solely in urban areas that represent only 57% of the Philippine TV viewing population.<br /><br />Still on top of the most watched programs list in the previous month is “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” with an average national TV rating of 39.9% followed by “Pangako Sa’Yo” with 34.8% and newcomer “Dance Kids,” which instantly landed on the third spot with 31.6% after only three weeks on air.<br /><br />“Wansapanataym” climbed two notches to number four from previous month’s sixth with 31.5% followed by primetime newscast “TV Patrol” (31.4%) and weekend favorites “MMK” (28.2%) and “Home Sweetie Home” (28%).<br /><br />Primetime series “Pasion De Amor” and comedy show “Goin Bulilit,” meanwhile, tied at the ninth spot both scoring an average national TV rating of 26%.<br /><br />ABS-CBN also fared better than its competition in other territories such as Balance Luzon (areas in Luzon outside Mega Manila) where it scored a national average audience share of 42% vs GMA’s 40%; in Visayas with 53% vs rival’s 29% and in Mindanao with 54% vs GMA’s 29%.<br /><br /><br /><b>GMA Network strengthens nationwide ratings lead in November</b><br /><br />The Kapuso Network maintained its robust performance in the daytime blocks in NUTAM with its audience share in the morning block reaching 36.3 percent, 6.1 points ahead of ABS-CBN’s 30.2 percent and 25.6 points ahead of TV5’s 10.7 percent. GMA was also largely ahead in the afternoon block with 46.4 percent, up 18.2 points from ABS-CBN’s 28.2 percent and up 39.3 points from TV5’s 7.1 percent.<br /><br />Leading across all dayparts, GMA also kept its stronghold in viewer-rich Urban Luzon and Mega Manila, which represent 77 percent and 59 percent, respectively, of all urban TV households in the country.<br />In Urban Luzon,  GMA recorded 44.1 percent, leading ABS-CBN’s 29 percent by 15.1 points and TV5’s 7.3 percent by 36.8 points; while in Mega Manila, GMA ruled with 46.3 percent, ahead of ABS-CBN’s 25.5 percent by 20.8 points and TV5’s 7.6 percent by 38.7 points.<br /><br />The Kapuso Network also asserted its dominance in the list of top-rating programs in NUTAM with 18 out of the 30 top programs belonging to GMA based on Nielsen data. More GMA programs also entered the lists for Urban Luzon and Mega Manila.<br />Magpakailanman became the most watched program in Mega Manila and Urban Luzon, and led the roster of Kapuso shows in NUTAM.<br /><br />Pepito Manaloto, Eat Bulaga, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, Ismol Family, Marimar, 24 Oras, 24 Oras Weekend, and Sunday Pinasaya also occupied top slots in the lists.<br /><br />Newly launched dramas Little Nanay and Because of You, along with Vampire Ang Daddy Ko, Imbestigador, Karelasyon, Beautiful Strangers, Kapuso Movie Festival, Celebrity Bluff and Wowowin also made it to the top programs list.<br /><br />Which TV network is the real number one?</div>
