Bohol Governor Aris Aumentado has harnessed the power of social
media, embarking on a survey campaign to his thousands of Facebook
followers with a twist and focusing on clothing style, price of his shoes
trivia and NBA forecasts with a prize.
In a Facebook post on his official personal account, the honorable
governor sought the help of netizens by asking them whether it is proper
to wear long pants or shorts during his sorties in the barangays in the
province.
In the post, he wrote:
POLL TIME!
Mas angayan ba ko na magpantalon o mag-short kung mubisita sa mga
kabarangayan?
React ‘LIKE’ kung mas ganahan mo og mag-pantalon ko, o react ‘
HEART’ kung mas ganahan mo na mag-short ko.
Daghang salamat, mga sano ug sana!
He ended his post with hashtag #AbanteBohol
Some were amused of the post; some were not.
A certain Margie H commented that shorts is better because it does not
cause a sultry feeling on the skin.
But a certain Alvin also replied that the type of body wear is not that
important.
He said what matters is if indeed the governor has made significant visits
to all Bohol barangays and brought with him beneficial projects and
programs to the Boholano constituents.
Meanwhile, in another post, Aumentado tickled the minds of his followers
by asking them to guess the place of his next travel destination.
After that post, the governor was seen on his own Facebook posted
photo taken in what appears to be an airport in the Philippines.
The post bore a caption with a quiz, seeking answers from the
governor’s social media followers in relation to the price of his black
shoes.
Aumentado wrote: “Just landed mga Maritess. Pls look at my nice
shoes. Check it kung tagpila akong shoes aron ma bibo napod na
inyohang wall sa FB.”
The post has drawn flak from netizens saying such effort is pure waste
of time and time is better spent on improving the lives of the Boholano
people.
But the governor was unperturbed by varied social media reactions.
A follow-up post showing him holding a pair of black shoes stated: “Ahak
ni mga Maritess mga gamhanan gyud, Na ukang akong sapatos gud.
Mga bungoton ug dila ug kamot ni mga maritess oi.
Maritess mo buy ko ug new shoes. Kamo pa buoton nako ug unsay
brand inyohang gusto kay maoy akobg paliton.gyud,”
Meanwhile, as the 2023 NBA Finals hit on live stream, Gov. Aumentado
embarked on another pet entertainment program.
The winner of the governor’s guessing show will receive P10,000 cash
prize.
The lengthy governor’s post said:
