Celebrities in Politics

I find it funny for some celebrities to be wanting to have a government post in their respective provinces. Election is not a popularity contest and I know for some, they know how popular actors they are and they think that they would surely win. I am not against celebrities who intends of vying a position. It is just a matter of their knowledge with what they are about to face. Are they really aware of what they are doing? Will they be good instruments in making a better environment for their constituents?

For me, we just have to look at the constitution, every one has the right to run for political position for as long as he qualifies with the requirements of the the law to run for it. So I think we should not limit our views on the political families established already. If we think they deserve to get the seat then vote for him/her not her status in life or popularity in your community. I always believe that everybody should be given the chance if the person is capable of contributing something to their communities. But if the candidate is obviously running only for the position and the money then better stay away from it and choose the best that you think could help.

I think the mere fact that they're filing for something that they have no idea on is something that we should be thinking about. I don't mean to discriminate but these are just puppets-in-the-making who'll just be there as puppets waiting for someone to pay them to act. I strongly suggest that the people vote not because of stardom but because the person could actually do something (or have without being paid or publicized). Time to re-think our voting ways because it hasn't done us much good. I would also like to suggest that the government change its policies to not allow people not paying taxes to vote (or should only have half point) because they're not the ones who have to take on the burden of paying taxes in the first place. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

Yeah there are lots of celebrities who are running in politics now. I am not against those celebrities as long as they do well and responsible enough to serve the public. Honest enough and wont do anything bad during their terms like corruption or over use of power. Hope they serve well and good luck to them.

Their popularity is one reason why these celebrities are turning to politics. They know that they have very good chances of winning. However, people have also become intelligent voters. Not all actors and actresses manage to win like Cesar Montano, Edu Manzano and some others. Many actors also managed to make good with their elective positions like Vilma Santos, Herbert Bautista and Isko Moreno to name a few. Inspite of being showbiz personalities they earned the respect of the people including their peers. I am also willing to vote for a showbiz celebrity provided he or she is qualified for the position. I am also disillusioned with other new candidates especially those perceived to be creating political dynasties. But that is politics in the country, they sure know where the money is.

Maybe they are just trying to help... Nothing to say... But the worst I think is the family dynasty in a place... It's the worst....
