New Leni Ad Confuses Netizens With “Pinkachu Joke”, Critics Say “Pero Dilaw Si Pikachu”
PINKACHU PERO DILAW – Vice President Leni Robredo’s new campaign ad has got people “cringing”.
Recently, Robredo, in an attempt to connect to a younger demographic, made a Pokemon joke. Surely, a large majority of the population knows and loves Pokemon. Unfortunately, for most people, her joke didn’t quite land.
On the social media platform, TikTok, Robredo asked running mate Kiko Pangilinan “Sino ang paboritong Pokemon ng mga Kakampink?”. (Who is the favorite pokemon of the Kakampink?)
Afterwhich, she answered a punch line netizens call “cringe”. “Edi si Pinkachu!“, said Leni with arms wide open.
Now, even supporters of Robredo are calling for her campaign manager to resign or be replaced. “THESE COMMERCIALS ARE JUST AS CRINGE AS THE MAR ROXAS ONES”, said one supporter. In short, netizens are calling the campaign strategy, “mukhang tanga”, similar to that of Mar Roxas’.
Meanwhile, critics of Robredo responded simply by saying “Pinkachu? Pero Dilaw si Pikachu”. Obviously, this is a jab at Robredo for going independent and dawning the color pink instead of LP’s signature yellow.
Still, other netizens believe that supporters shouldn’t be upset with Leni’s “cringe” and “cheesy” marketing. “Why what’s to be ashamed about?”, said one netizen.
But, netizens simply expressed concern when it came to Leni’s campaign. As such, supporters cry out as the campaigns could be so much better.
