Jamby Madrigal: Celebrity Endorsement an Insult to Filipino Intelligence

Many will believe that 2010 presidential candidate Sen. Maria Ana Consuelo “Jamby” Madrigal-Valade really outtalked herself on this one.

Call it spur of the moment, a proverbial slip-up or, well, a senior  gaffe, Madrigal’s tendency towards taking down her opponents in the political contest made her appear more irrational and dumbfounding.  Madrigal criticizing celebrity endorsements, oh c’mon!

“Paying actors P30 million for endorsements is an insult to the Filipino intelligence,” Madrigal said in a presidential forum organized by the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Feb. 8.

Her statement was so startling that people in the forum had to remind Madrigal that she actually used a celebrity in her successful Senate runâ€"an actress named Judy Ann Santos, who had been all over her campaign sorties, commercials, posters, and paraphernalia - an endorsement seen as unprecedented even in showbiz circles at that time.

Her answer:  “I have seen the folly of my ways and I will not repeat that because I do not believe you repeat a mistake.  I also don’t believe you should perpetuate lies (with) a thick budget.”

A “folly,” a “mistake” â€" two words the good senator used to describe a celebrity endorsement that made a struggling election candidate, into a Magic 12 shoo-in in 2004. Those words could be far more appropriate if Madrigal had lost, but her wildcard 2004 victory was nothing short of phenomenal, or to some, unattainable if it was not for her famous screen partner in those political ads.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18

“I was hurt, deeply hurt,” Santos told a news conference on Feb. 15.  In a mix of English and Filipino, Santos stressed, “I thought she got my services because she believed in me and I thought her offer was sincere.”
Santos further said that Madrigal’s comment was unfair. “I won’t take all the credit for her winning the election but I think it was unfair for her to say that. I campaigned for her and during those times, even in the provinces, I was able to convince at least four or five people to vote for her.”  She felt, she said, that all her efforts were unappreciated.

“It is not all about money. It’s not only because of money that we act or do something,” Santos said referring to Madrigal’s “P30-million” claim. “It is because I believe in what the candidate can do for the country. It’s a mutual thing.”
