A campaign strategy initiated by Palit Galing volunteers (small group of medical practitioners supporting the administration bet) which is the male beauty pageant, "Search for Mr. Gwapo at Talino (GT)," will start holding auditions this month in 6 Metro Manila cities.
The "Search for Mr. Gwapo at Talino (GT)," takes off from Teodoro's slogan "Galing at Talino." The Pageant aims for handsome and intelligent men, 18-35 years old, who are willing to campaign for presidential candidate Gilberto Teodoro. Thus to qualify for the pageant, participants have to be both “gwapo” (handsome) and “matalino” (smart).
As Palit Galing organizer Dr. Suzette Salazar said, “They have to embody [Teodoro’s] qualities like decency. They become the representative or embodiment of Gibo in poor areas.” Hence, contestants must be able to explain Teodoro’s campaign platform to their neighbors during the campaign period.
There would only be 10 candidates chosen from each city for the semi-finals. Contestants will be interviewed by a panel of comedians from the University of the Philippines Repertory Company who impersonate major presidential candidates.
