Finally, Dick is In (Richard Gordon)

As a person who isn't really politically updated, some campaigns are effective through people who are not politically updated as well. A few candidates try to slip in some jokes to further cater to those who are not as serious. To be honest, it is quite difficult to memorize each name , learn about them, and on top of that, know how each part of the government works. What does the senate do ? Who should be in the senate? Who is that ?

Richard Gordon went viral after his "Ipasok si Dick" move. The joke was perfect, people started to know him and everybody was saying "IPASOK SI DICK! IPASOK SI DICK".  This was years before he got in the senate; And as a newly registered voter, this is what made me remember his name. Quite frankly, after all of those "Ipasok si Dick" years, He deserved to win . And now that he won, the joke started to evolve once again and grew even funnier when people started merging other names with "Ipasok si Dick". It seems like a lot of people wanted see Dick in the senate.

Sometimes the senate isn't given much seriousness as it should be. Celebrities are there, athletes, maybe in the near future, YouTubers are running for senate. But maybe that's just how it is in politics. Having a lot of fans, making people laugh, being one of the best performers in sports, It's all there. That is the same principle, or a short cut to life as some people would say, is making people like you so one could get a promotion even though there is no skill and knowledge that is relevant to the position offered. But nonetheless, they have a responsibility and a reputation to hold. They wouldn't be able to mess this one up.
