Tiglao said the advertisements were not taken out by Arroyo's People Power Coalition but were sponsored by civic groups sympathetic to her government. The President's request for the withdrawal of the ads, said Tiglao, is to show to the opposition party that the president administration is not vindictive. Tiglao admitted, however, that the advertisements merely stated facts serving as reminder to the electorate to choose carefully who to vote for. Among the television ads are those showing video clips of senatorial bets Enrile and Miriam Santiago, goading supporters of Estrada massing at Edsa to march on Malaca ang. What they are doing is reminding the public about what these candidates have said.
Black propaganda means telling lies.
