Jack Logan warns: don’t be fooled by ayuda vote-buying

As the election season nears, filmmaker and content creator Jack Logan is sounding the alarm on the use of “ayuda,” or financial aid, as a deceptive vote-buying tactic.

In a recent video posted on his official Facebook page, Logan urged the public to stay vigilant, warning that cash handouts — often disguised as acts of charity — are, in reality, politically motivated strategies.

“Don’t trade your future for P500,” he said, emphasizing that these short-term gains often serve to obscure long-term corruption. “That’s just a few centavos a day in exchange for years of bad governance.”

Logan explained that many candidates use these giveaways to manufacture an image of false heroism. “It’s calculated generosity, meant to win votes — not serve communities,” he said. He encouraged voters to be discerning and to question the intent behind every campaign gesture.

Known for his satirical takes on social issues, Logan has recently shifted toward more hard-hitting content. His upcoming documentary, "Sa Gitna ng Dalawang Tubig," which delves into the plight of Filipino fishermen amid ongoing maritime tensions, is slated for release in June 2025.
