On politics and showbiz

Short and sweet.

Call me biased and judgmental, but I really am not comfortable with the idea of actors whoring themselves out on politics. And it's not even because of the reasons some detractors like to give, like "Ano ba'ng alam niya sa pulitika?" or "Ni hindi nga naka-graduate ng kolehiyo yan, eh," but more in the lines of, "Oh great, add another dose to the popularity contest factor." And, of course, the fact that most of the time, they're just being used by the higher-ups. Whether directly or indirectly, it doesn't matter.

Not saying that they don't have their own minds, their own opinions. But newbies tend to get taken advantage of one way or another.

Dingdong Dantes, being coerced to enter the world of politics?

*sigh*

And we get the same nightmare over and over again.

Although maybe, JUST MAYBE, if it were Angel Locsin to run, I'd consider supporting her.

(And that's where the bias comes into play.)
