they should only focus into one field of profession. It's either they choose to serve the nation by their political wills and agendas or amuse people by their acting abilities in the silver screen! As they run for that respective position, they must be aware of it's consequences and their commitments!

hindi naman problema kung pulitiko na nag-aartista o artista na papasok sa pulitika, ang point lang dito ay dapat magampanan nila yung tungkulin nila at maging tapat sila sa mamamayan na pagsisilbihan nila. Basta ang para sa akin isa lang ang kandidato ko ito:

kung kwalipikado naman ang isang mamayan na tumakbo sa ninanais nilang posisyon ay hindi natin sya dapat pigilan na gawin yon at kung nagkataong isang artista ang tao ito wala namang problema yon hanggat kaya naman nyang gawin ang kanyang tungkulin...

Amay Bisaya. He was city councilor in Manila. So was Truman and Pipoy. I think Cita Astal is still a councilwoman. Also a former actor is Manila's current Vice Mayor Isko Moreno. QC has the most with Vice Mayor Herbert Bautista leading the pack. Parañaque had its experiences with celebrity turd politicians. Joey tsong(go) Marquez and his buddy Anjo Yllana. I think the ape is going to need a good lawyer to appeal an adverse decision over his corruption case (overpriced walis ting ting). Caloocan had an actor turd politician for mayor who was so full of himself. Then there is a place in metro manila called San Juan. Its not confined to Metro Manila only, you have Pagsanghan Mayor Ejercito Estregan, guess who he is related to.

Did their star popularity improve the places mentioned? Just asking.

Amay like Nora no Aunor and so many other showbiz types ran afoul with the BIR during FM's regime. A high ranking official assisted them, after that they accompany Marcos in his political sorties. BIR is a can of whop *** for them. Supershit Nora ran for governor in her home province when GMA came to power, she ran and hit a telephone pole (pildi). After a few years she got busted by TSA agents with meth in possession.

Darna is still governor of Batangas and a milf.

Ceasar asar Montano wants to be governor of Bohol. What does he want a convoy of police escorts? He could just donate the money for campaign to charitable organizations or volunteer his time with Habitat for humanity kung kuripot siya. This would directly 'help' beneficiaries, and it would be imediate less the red tape in government. Oh I see he wants to a.) use taxpayers money to make it look like his gifts to the public and, b.) to have body guards paid by the PNP instead of a private security firm to be paid by him. Ganun? (Sound of toilet flushing) Ariah!

Richard Gomez wants to run for congressman, and Philip Salvador (why is he not in prison yet?) wants to rejoin politics in 2010. (Sound of toilet flushing) Thats where I want them. Boooyah!

Oh this vountry needs an enima. Check this out....

He ran for mayor against Jojo Binay and lost. In 2010 the two will face off again for the vice presidency. Game ka na ba?

Were cool man! Damn paperwork had kept me from posting for days. Oh yeah I remember that green jeepney.... a green ford fiera with a kick us sound system? I believe it was "Erud" and you can hear it coming from miles away playing Van Halen tunes. heheheee. Heck, we've just revealed our age.

about artistas..... remember a guy named "Amay Bisaya"? This guy is famous (or notorious) for his malodorous tunes on a.m. radio. Well, this guy who is/was popular with the masses, deluded himself into believing that he can get himself elected. So, he ran for mayor in Tubigon, Bohol and was severely trounced. He ran twice for councilor and same result. Boholanos at least knew enough to appreciate the difference between a person's celebrity persona and acumen for governance.

But lo and behold, this guy subsequently transferred to manila and he got himself elected there as one of its councilors!!! Imagine that.

Now what does that tell you?

I know 3rd Brigade guys a year ahead of me namely: Tobol, Ilong, Ba-o, Kanding and Joey E. My best buddies Mark T, Louie A, Jimmy T and I saw Vivian Veles on betamax. I remember riding that jeepney "Rhud". I remember I had a crush on Mrs. Lendio. Wierd I know..I was. Also wanted a threesom orgie with the Nemenzo sisters. Your not getting punked here so I will tell you that I was josenian until after 2nd year. Transferred to another school on my 3rd and final year of high school studies. Am a product of the public school system. No excuses there, and no regrets either. We cool? Because I won't pretend to be who I am not.

We are not the only ones reading, lets keep our identity cloaked and enjoy the benfits of anonymity, its good for you, good for me. No harm in practicing online security habits.

About SCorP in Padre Faura, the high ranking lady officer you said, is she working for one of the associate justices? I think she is unprofessional, probably a co-term appointment hence the attitude. Salot sa lipunan. Heinous *****.... milf ba? ...Knock her up!

Comelec, Intramuros. Ever witness what happens when a jerk and his hag wife mega-projectile vomit arrives? Honestly I don't care if it was the Jonas borthers outside, there is a memo about employees abandoning work stations just to cheer the pos. Sends the wrong message to the artista head, they should have been professionals by ignoring them, giving no special treatment at Law Department, basically making the artista feel like a nude in church.

Yeah I guess the northern types are more prone as the data suggests. But I fear the epidemic is nationwide. In Mindanao, muslims shoot the movie screen when Max Alvarado torts and damages FPJ side burns. Star popularity I pose no objection, but the worship? Ffffuq ..That.

"oh alma mater dear beloved San Jose....."

Holy crapoid! Pero batch 84 sab intawon uy. pa hangyu-a sab ta maski usa ka tuig lang. hehehe.

So...who art thou my ever so erudite Cebuano friend? Your name is no help at all as the last time I check we were (and still are) all "palautog", well at least for the male species. A little hint my bourbon guzzling josenian friend or do you wish to remain a mystery?

Back on the topic. This phenomenon of artista worship seems to be more pervasive in Luzon and metro manila and mind you is not limited to the bakya crowd. I personally experienced this about a month after the 2004 presidential elections while following up a case I was handling in the Supreme Court. When I introduce myself as a Cebuano a high ranking female official and a lawyer at that started venting her disappointment at me and blaming Cebu and Cebuanos for being instrumental in the defeat of FPJ, who she idolized deeply. I was astounded by the mindless vitriol coming from a supposedly high official working from the highest court in the land... and all for an actor??????

The dumbing of the masses has already worked its way up the chain. sad, very sad.

Thank you. I like your style too. Glad you fancy the writing, but its actually pent up range redirected to attempted humor (not homicide). Its like I also want to empty a bottle of cold Becks beer down my throat, and smash the empty bottle on whats his face actor from Bohol who thinks he can help better by running for the senate. I like Lucy Torres...naked. I want however to snuff out the L&M fliters on her husbands left eye. Enough. It sound so messed up.

In fairness to the current crop of actors turd politicians (yep I spelled that right) in the senate its the politics behind the passage of a legislative measure into law. Actor or lawyer, cop or crook, a senator is just an empty suite sitting around while secretly negotiating with his colleagues to pass his bill into law. Their staffers think, craft, write, and file the senate bills and resolutions for them to sponsor. The senator or tongressman defends it at the session hall. Will it anger the one they call..joker? Worst is if the fiesty lady senator who is certifiable gets peeved by the legislative measure. Lagot! Thats just two characters. There are 22 others with different agenda's and advocacies.

BWAHAHAHA!! Lingaw kaayo ko sa imong gi suwat bai. Pun-i pa. I never had so much fun reading a post here. Like you I love the taste and rosy aroma of bourbon but I personally prefer southern comfort to jim beam...... its cheaper that is.

Ronald Reagan is probably the most underrated statesman ever...albeit... unjustified. He was oftentimes vilified as a second rate actor whose only claim to fame in showbiz is playing second fiddle to a chimpanzee named "bonzo". But there are principles that he espoused that happen to coincide with mine..... free market, individual liberty, the principle of the least government governs the best, etc....etc...

A few of Reagan's quotable quotes "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it." and "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."

I could go on and on but this is more appropriate as a subject in another thread.

The problem with most of us is that we are so personality driven. And even worst is that most of us often mistake the celluloid world for the real world. Cult of the personality is so pervasive and so potent that the mindless adulation of millions often have the effect of addling the brains of these ambitious entertainers. They delude themselves into thinking that their popularity gives them license to inflict themselves upon us.

As a Cebuano, I was quite miffed when fpj and his ilk labeled Cebuanos as a bunch of cheaters just because he lost resoundingly here. Well I got news for you clowns-***-politicians. No artistas has ever won in Cebu. Not even erap when he ran for vice-president or president managed to win in Cebu. They simply can't accept the fact that Cebuanos view artistas simply as entertainers and whose only job is to entertain, nothing more nothing less. It's too bad we are only 2 million plus voters. Had there been more of us, there wouldn't have been an erap presidency and a gma for that matter that succeeded him.

God help us if there would be another erap presidency.

Whoa! OMG WTF talaga. hahaha. Informative and somewhat kinda scary some of the stuff you said friend. A lot of inuendos. Seems someone's been doing his homework overtime. Thank you po for the revelations. Para ka din some of my friends/ master guru here in the forum na marami akong natutunan. Infact hindi kaya ikaw din yun at ginu goodtime mo lang kami by using other handle hehehe. Sige start na po ako sa comments ko on your posts:

1. I'd like to take this opportunity para magpaalam na po sa mga readers and friends natin dito. This is the last time Im going to post here kasi I feel wala na po ako mai-contribute. I've already said that the best candidates for me is NOYNOY for president and MAR for vice president. Final pick ko na po ito till election time. Kayo friends/readers na ang susunod na move and dapat mag aral and research kung sino yung karapat dapat mahalal.

2. Carefully weigh everything. Kung sa pagpili ng cellphone ilang pag aaral at research ginagawa bago natin bilhin eh dapat mas matinding aral ang gawin natin sa pagpili sa halalan kasi mas malaki po yung at stake.

3. Sa mga sinabi mo kaibigan, based from what I know, 25% po tama, 25% I will still need to research on, 25% mukhang nilagay mo lang siguro for entertainment value more than anything else kasi mukhang malabo po yata.

4. Mukhang nakalimutan mo ilagay yung 25% ng kwento na mas mahalaga kasi sila yung in a better position to do more damage. For example sino po ba yung napakalaki naging lugi sa US stock market na sabi nung iba eh binawi yung lugi sa local stock market by pumping then dropping some prices?

Another example ano po ba talaga kwento sa presyo ng gas natin? sa agriculture? sa koryente? Ano po ba kwento sa H1N1 virus? Mas marami ho ba biktima nito kesa sa dengue at bakit binigyan ang DOH ng bilyones for H1N1? Sino ho ba mga kumita before, during and after ng baha po sa atin? Paano nila nagawa yun? Or better question is how can they sleep at night at nagawa nila yun sa bayan natin? If we are not ready for floods mas lalo bang hindi tayo ready for bigger calamities like earthquake?

5. Marami pa pong tanong kaya sa inyo mga kaibigan/mentors na would be left here, try and continue to educate yung mga kababayan natin. Mejo konting hinay hinay lang po sa pag tuturo kasi parang sa movie na "The Matrix", some are still not ready to take the red pill and would rather go through life forever hooked on blue pill.

6. TRUTH is stranger than fiction. Marami pa pong mas nakakagulat na kwento. Maraming manyayari po sa mga darating na araw na would question some of your core beliefs. Based from my readings and research lahat po ito planado na. However, dun naman sa mga napag aralan ko nobody have acurately factored in divine intervention and human resiliency when faced with extreme circumstances. Mga kapwa ko pinoy isipin niyo kung yung mga nangyari sa atin eh nangyari sa ibang bansa eh taob na po sila. Pero tayo ito masaya pa din. Nakangiti kahit hirap. Ibig sabihin kakayanin po natin lahat ng maaring mangyari sa atin. Huwag po tayong mawawalan ng pag asa.

Benny Abante as a journalist who deals with his conscience after taking pictures of a girl dying on a road side in Afghanistan that he did not help. He comes home and becomes something of a 'Ted Faillon' case when his wife shoots herself in the toilet but drowns in the bowl (sound of toilet flushing). Sonny Alvarez as a diplomat accused of murder inside the Philippine Embassy in Spain (thriller/court room drama shot entirely in Madrid).

It's hard to generalize or "brand" people because there are always exceptions.

Illac Diaz, a once up and coming actor, certified "partyphile", laman ng lahat ng gimikan sa pilipinas is now, together with Sen Chiz Escudero, judged as Global Young Leaders of 2008 by the World Economic Forum.

Another Global Young Leader for 2008 is an artist named Leonardo DiCaprio.

Sa akin lang it does'nt matter where you came from, kung administration or opposition or kaliwa ka or artista ka basta mahalaga alam mo paano mag silbi ng tapat sa tao. Knowledge can be acquired, ang malasakit sa kapwa inborn yata yun, nasa genetic makeup na ng individual na tao.

In a perfect democracy every citizen has equal rights, what ever their vocation or calling in Life. But sadly our’s is a flawed democracy, we have learned the Form but have not internalized the Essence. Hence, those who aspire for elective government positions do so for the wrong reasons, i.e. power, wealth, prestige and all the benefits that the position brings instead of genuine public service and the sacrifice that comes with it.
Our election is a sham, it has become a popularity contest, where those who have the means to coerce the vote, either by deception, by money, by patronage or just by “face value”, are elected never mind their motives.
The popular media people, actors, singers and those who are good at regular “praise releases” do really have an edge, in this kind of environment.
However, I object to generalizations, and labeling a particular sector, this is undemocratic, like what Hitler did to the Jews, Americans to the Blacks, British to the Chinese and recently the anti terrorist slur against the middle easterns.

Every Filipino citizen has the right, but not necessarily the qualifications, to run for public office. Actors are generally unqualified, because most of them lack education, experience or sophistication to succeed as public servants. Some examples are Lito Lapid, Erap, and FPJ. FPJ carefully avoided interviews during the 2004 elections because he didn't like to reveal his ineptness and lack of knowledge about crucial issues. You never hear from Lapid during Senate sessions because he can't compete with minds such as Miriam Santiago and Enrile. Erap's notoriety speaks for itself. On the other hand, some actors, such as Vilma Santos, succeeded as public servants, but this is an exception rather than the rule.

On a different note, I hope that the Philippines would enact rules to prohibit politicians from appearing in shows on TV or in movies, just like in Thailand. It creates conflicts of interest and looks distasteful. Look at Jinggoy Estrada, Mar Roxas, and others...

Guys what's your opinion regarding actors involving themselves to politics and politicians goes into part-time actors (doing movies etc.). Next thing you'll know Mr. Diether Ocompo our next candidate for president. I know little about our constitution having everyone eligable/have rights to represent our nation but I feel there should be a limitation , looks like power craving more of power.I know our actors/actress having very great educational background but are they really capable representing our nation as a whole, or they just like more attention or more power.
i don't think actors really represent normal people, politicians should work for normal people and know them well, or rather actors who became politicians only help much on there fellow actors/actress.they just confusing the general public creating chaos.
