isn't it reported that actor Cesar Montano lost P30M worth of contracts when he decided to accept the offer of the administration to run under its ticket as senator in the coming May elections? do you believe that? would you believe it if you hear stories that he didn't really lose that P30M but was surely paid the same amount just to run? was there an X-deal when Cesar ran for senator?

that the heck!! politics?? moviestar??? is that what is all about now in our country?? whats next?? i believe in democracy and that everybody hasa the right to run in office but isnt suppose to be the basis is not popularity? isnt it that its the capacity, capability and the knowledge to run a country??? hoohh i dunno...i feel so small it seems to me that this people in philippine politics are underestimating the inteligence of filipino voters... I hope we wont take all these crap from them... i hope we would start to learn and stand and tell them were not stupid at all as what they think we are.

I am pretty sure that he covered all the losses he will take in the election. I pretty much believe that he is being used as a crowd drawer for other politician in his ticket. As seen in many campaigns its always Cesar who attracts the crowd to draw and gather around the other politicians.

there couldn't be any loss for Cesar if there was an x-deal..if he was compensated P3M to answer for lost profits, if he loses in the elections he can again go back to endorsements and makings movies..
