SITUATION ANALYSISGetting MLR re-elected needs a STRONG LIFT from a set of valid issues close to the hearts and minds of

the populaceaspirations and dreams to which voters can directly identify themselves to.

Through COMMUNITY ORGANIZING and CONSULTATIVE APPROACH on an indirect, sublime, yet high-impact ISSUE INTERCEPTION, we can create and develop a new Social, Politico-Economic, and EcologyDevelopment (SPEED) framework with the direct participation of communities. SPEED will serve as themaster plan of city development, endorsed and supported by men and women in the urban poor, youth,industrial, services, agriculture, and faith-based sections of the local economy.

The grass-root voters dreams and aspirations become Ramas own. They will find in Rama a clear reasonto cast their vote for. They become stakeholders, instead of being kibitzers and fence-sitters. Their quest

for solutions to their social and politico-economic needs form part of the Rama political agenda.

SPEED will serve as the sounding board or an instrumentality for re-echoing our key messages. This holdsthe key to a high-impact, less costly campaign. The how-tos are shown here under.

Reasons for ActionVoter perception tracking data from the US Embassy shows that MLR holds an edge against TRO in termsof incumbency (17.20 percentage points), charisma (6.45 p.p.), and character (3.87 p.p.).

These combined advantage of 0.2752, when weighed against an average voter turnout of 85 percent and

elector base of 522,476, shows a glimpse of the MLR potential in 143,785 votes. This project is meant tocapitalize on the factors fueling these existing perceptions, as illustrated below.

3


4/29

As illustrated below, voter preference tracking data from the UK Embassy shows TROs strength inpopularity (18.44 percentage points), financial preparations (12.46 p.p.) and experience (6.91p.p).

If weighed against a voter turnout of 85 percent and 522,476 electors, this combination of factors pinpointwhere Tommys building blocks for support at 197,548 heads will be and where we should be usingresources to undermine certain initiatives.

Homestretch may run from 1.5% to as high as 4%, weighed against actual voter turnout on the day ofballoting. This translates to a winning range of 5,750 votes (baseline) to 15,335.

COST-EFFICIENCY ASSUMPTIONSSince built-in city government resources and strategic assets are already in place, there will be asignificant reduction in out-of-pocket expenses.

Campaign goal: 225, 350 men and womenSpending from March 2012 to May 15, 2013: P5.87 per voter

IX AREAS OF CONSIDERATIONAverage voter turnout in last three elections has been 78%For May 2013, AVT of 407,531 is a close call.Not the best-case scenario yet

26


27/29

Uncommitted votes: 86,316 or 21.18%A swing vote as large as thisa wide gapis crucial to both sides

The best-defensive-case scenarios for TRO:Line P500 for each of targeted 40,000 voters among urban poor and young voters, and spend P20 millionon Election DayGiving money to keep 40,000 of Ramas supporters at home for P25 millionHe did that once; he will do it again

Ramas best-offensive-case scenario:Raise voter turnout at the 88% threshold (459,778)Line up 52,247 more votes at no expense in Mikes favorDiminish TRO initiatives in the Services, Youth, and Agriculture sectorsForce TRO into costly defensive propaganda actions, stretching his financial rope to maximum limitsWork out special conversions in traditionally gray areas of the political economy (W4, U1, and YMW5)Disrupt vote-buying

X EXPECTED RESULTS Advantage #1: MLR is guided by an issue-based framework, which runs parallel to mainstream

campaign messaging

Advantage #2: By winning hearts and minds, Mike will be able to get win even if TRO spends P50million on Election Day.

Advantage #3: Rama creates and sustains the impression that he values other peoples ideas andinputs more than his own, thereby raising his acceptability and viability as a candidate.

Interpolated data from US/UK political sections (2012): Country Sheet for www.cia.gov, CIA World Fact Book (2012): AverageVoter Turnout at 78%;

Inner-core, Election-day Scenarios Voter turnout between 71% and 80% Losses from cross-candidate diffusion among councilor-candidates may hit 5% and may favor Rama

ticket (9/7)

TRO/MVO spending in South District may take some 4.53% to 5% off Ramas support lineup,affecting CUENCO

TRO spending in North District may affect MLR a little, if DAVIDE runs. If not, diffusion by 3% standslikely.

Homestretch may run from 1.5% to as high as 4%, weighed against actual voter turnout on the day

of balloting. This translates to a winning range of 5,750 votes (baseline) to 15,335.
