should actors and actresses be given a chance to be voted for this coming elections? i mean, they're good at their craft but sometimes, i can't help but wonder if they're really passionate about helping our country into progressing. and since it's my very first time to vote, i hope you could help me on how to choose a good candidate for the said position they're running for. thanks.

My opinion of this is that Manny Pacquiao should forget about politics and just be a boxer.Lets admit it,he isnt that qualified in so many aspects mainly education.I think we should change the qualification of a candidate.We've got to set a standard people.He says he wants to help but politics is not the only way.He does good things, i would hate for that to be tainted.AS for me,this is my second time voting and all i can say is that dont be mislead by the candidates,they can say pretty things and sugar coat it,but its after the election that will matter.Choose who u feel is right for u.

yeah, i heard a lot of Manny Pacquio news already. i mean, you're partly right. he has proven enough and i thought also that he should stay in boxing. i mean, he can also help our country in a way and not enter it right? one doesn't have to enter politics to be able to help. that's why, sometimes, those people in showbusiness and who are very popular in social scene (like actors/models for instance) who tries for politics, we don't want our country's economy to fall down. i just hope they stay where they are.

This is the oldest discussion I have ever encountered. I think this was the time when I was still working a volunteer for my brother.

its better to choose a candidate that fits your description of a well deserving candidate,honest,helpfull,opinionated,open and god fearing.better you listen to discussions about there platform and what they can do to help our economy grow strong.
