Politicians are lazy. Nowhere is this laziness more laid bare in full view than election time. Rather than come up with a well thought out platform too many politicians rely on tricks and gimmicks to secure the vote of the people. In the Philippines there is really only one gimmick and that is to plaster your face everywhere and on everything especially on large banners and tarps wishing the people a happy festival whatever that festival happens to be.
Despite Christmas being over for almost two months many politician's holiday banners remain in place. One plucky candidate for office has taken it upon himself to recycle his Christmas banner. Take a look at Jason Villarosa.

Rather than properly dispose of his Happy Holidays tarp he has decided to rebrand it into a Happy Valentines tarp. He literally printed out a banner with the phrase Happy Valentines and pasted it over the words Happy Holidays and left everything else the same. Look up close.
Nothing says Happy Valentine's day like wreaths and bells. This guy's face oozes a smugness which pairs quite well with this apathetic and insincere banner. You can even see the phrase Happy Holidays phrase bleeding through the phrase Happy Valentines.
This is absolutely the laziest stunt I have seen a politician engage in. He didn't even spell Valentine's right! He forgot the apostrophe. Ostensibly he did this to all his signs but I only saw the one above and the one below.
Happy Holidays Valentines everyone!
