The Judy Ann Santos Meralco ads..

Local actress Judy Ann Santos is in hot water (boiling, if I may say so) due to the backlash created by her Meralco infomercial. Meralco holds a virtual monopoly of the country?s power distribution and, with rates reportedly one of the highest in Asia, various sectors (most notably the government) are currently up in arms against its ?unjust high charges?. A few days ago, an infomercial suddenly appeared on television with Judy Ann Santos explaining Meralco?s side on the system loss charges issue. This ads example on ice bought compared to system loss is rediculous. In system loss, we pay for the charges that we never use and was lost due to pilferage. Meralco's think tank is getting rusty, they just use Judy Ann to fool the citizenry. But this question still lingering in my psyche: should a commercial talent be held responsible for the product, service or idea she endorses?
