TingTing Cojuangco
Blogging about politics, or political blogging as some calls it, is not something I usually deal with unless it was something that directly affects social media such as blogging.
Some of which I publicly expressed my support, or the contrary, was when there was a move by the NTC to cap broadband data consumption and the issue on Anti-Cyber Crime Law. However, in a recent intimate-dinner-turned-political-discussion, I got to know more about Tingting Cojuangco who has just filed her candidacy running for the national elections in 2013 as one of the senatorial aspirants.

If you are not from Tarlac but the name still sounds familiar, it is most probably because she was a columnist of Philippine Star and the mother of one of the popular equestrians of the country and once actress, Mikaela “Mikee” Cojuangco.

Tingting Cojuangco on Social Media
If there was anything that strikes me most that night is the fact how politicians are now recognizing the influence of social media and how they are embracing this medium.
As of this writing, Tingting Cojuangco already has her own Facebook profile, Facebook Fanpage, and a Twitter account @TingCojuangco – something not too common for people in her age range, despite the political stature.
