Battle of the stages
STAGE PRESENCE. Candidates belonging to one camp in a Cebu City barangay have started erecting a stage within a major crossroad in that barangay. Now people living nearby are wondering when the rival party will set up its own, since that crossroad is the most happening area around.
WITHIN SIGHT AND SOUND. During the last presidential elections both parties in that barangay set up their respective stages within sight and sound of each other. On the last day of campaign, both parties began their programs at the same time and spent the next few hours trying to drown the other out with song, dance and speech.
SHARING SPACE. Back in 2010 the supporters of both camps also had no choice but to mingle with each other since the area for spectators was limited. Luckily there were no violent confrontations reported.
