In our opinion, actors shouldn't really be involved in politics. They only get into politics because they're sure that when they run, their fans, which make up the masses, will vote for them. They make up fancy speeches and promise a lot of things. But what do they really do once they get into office? Look at Mayor Joey Marquez. His city, Parañaque, has garbage strewn over the sidewalks. The city also has water problems. Also, the Bicutan area still has very bumpy roads. Another example is former president Erap Estrada. After just two years in office, he has been filed against for four cases, including graft and corruption. By now we should have learned from our mistakes. But now, we have another actor who is a wannabe politician. Not only is this his first time, he's running for presidency! Millions of his fans already proclaimed that he has their support. They are even hinting that he will win. We cannot let that happen. This is so because FPJ is not fit to run for president because he has no political background, did not finish school, and was only coerced to do so. .
Fernando Poe Jr. has no political background. This is so because he is an actor. An actor is almost always busy, what with the shootings, press cons, and other actor-y stuff they do. If you've been an actor for almost fifty years and have starred in about 230 films like FPJ (Mogato, 2003), it would be nearly impossible for you to find time and gain political experience. And having political experience is a must. The head of a unit is not expected to toy around and experiment on his or her peoples' lives, welfare, and interests because this is a first time for him or her. How would you expect to run a country if you don't have any experience at all? .
Besides having no political experience, FPJ did not finish school. He is in fact a high school dropout (Juredo, 2002). We all know that a person needs the proper education in order for him or her to rise up in this world.
