should celebrities go to politics or stay on screen?

[midinite]

What do you think? and why?

[chua_riwap]

May election ba? Nanalo yung mga CON at ASS na mga Tongressman natin kagabi di ba?

He-he! Wawa naman si GOVERNOR Richard Gomez. Di matutupad pangarap niya!

[doriftospeed]

They should just stay on screen. Don't get me wrong though, there are a few who can actually make a difference. but mostly, stay on lang on screen. wala rin naman sila silbe kahit dun eh, at least hindi na manggugulo sa politika. lol

[j_avonni]

They have the right. But the problem is most of the voters don't look at the qualifications but on the popularity.

[chrisboy]

i think everybody is free to run for a government position. it is just that the voters doesnt know how to vote. it has been a popularity contest for quite some time now.

[CVT]

IMO, they should stay on the screen.

It's going to be the real world, not their 'reel world'... A whole lot more complicated.....

i wonder. does the common tao vote for their perceived "characters" i.e. on-screen persona? if that is the case arent they fictional "characters" in the first place? or do they actually vote for the celebrity as a "person"?

[ts1n1ta]

It doesn't matter if the person is showbiz or not. I think what's important is the sincerity and the dedication for public service. Shempre know how na den. But then madami nga jan madudunong pero trapo.

[zero]

kawawa naman sila lito lapid at bong revilla?
wala na sa starring roles as senators.

[Isuzoom]

Kung para sa kaunlaran ng bayan why not?....so far bulok lahat ang pumasok sa politika...pahinga na lang muna sila.

Ronald Reagan was a great U.S. President and he used to be a moviestar.
Also Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp).

But here, people see the actors for thier movie roles not who they actually are.
If we could get past that and the actor/actress is able, then I would accept.

even if they vote for the celebrity as a "person", it is still wrong. the problem kasi is most people equate a nice person to good governance, which is not always the case. sometimes we need an iron hand to put us all back in line.

nasa tao kasi yan, di porke artista, aktibista, militar, komunista, etc. e pwede mo na sabihing matino or kurakot.

pero generally speaking, konti lang ung mga artista na namumuno't lumilingkod ng tapat. so far the only name that comes to mind is vilma santos(pwede rin sonny bono and ronald reagan, pero sa US naman yun).

what concerns me is that celebrities tend to wield great charisma and media power -- powers that they may or maynot truly deserve, powers that may or may not be used in the sincere service of their voters(naks)

Aba pasalamat sila sa mga artista.......

Dahil kay Vilma Santos- merong Sen. Recto
Sharon Cuneta- merong Sen. Pangilinan
Judy Ann Santos- merong Sen. Madrigal
Korina Sanchez- merong Sen. Mar Roxas

Si Richard Gomez lakas din ng charisma( sa Showbiz), pero sa Sports pikon

IMO, depende rin kasi kong sinong artista. like herbert bautista, artista sya pero nag-aral sya ng pol science at the same time may masteral sya na related sa politics. another thing is kung anong position ang tatakbuhan nila, kung TONGGRESSMAN / SENATONG, dapat may pinagaralan din sila at alam ang batas... :peace: :peace:

[roninblade]

mahirap mag generalize/stereotype like the thread topic says.

depende yan sa ability at motive ng tao na papasok sa government service. kung puro good intentions lang pero naman administrative skills di pwede yun.

di naman lahat ng artista dito sa atin totally incompenent. problem is paano malalaman kung meron nga skills and know-how yung person kung puro acting pa lang nagawa nila.

I AGREE. Thus, the issue is not so much as to prohibit movie stars from running for political/government positions, for they have rights just like everybody else that must be respected, but rather an issue why the electorate are easily hoodwinked and vote for people with dubious competencies, and selfish motives/agenda. Maybe within our own spere of influence we can do something about this.

Depends on the size of their boobies......:spider:

Edit qualification > *

[IMm29]

IF they are competent and qualified to become public servants, and they sincerely want to help the constituents they are campaigning to, then by all means they should run for public office. Otherwise, they should just leave politics to the "usual suspects" and spare the public.
