Would I vote for a celebrity this coming 2010 presidential elections?

I would vote for the candidate who's most capable of being president, regardless if they are a celebrity or not. But the sad thing is, most celebrities only have knowledge for acting and mocking. How can they be capable of running a country when the "EXPERIENCE" part of their resume only comprises titles of the movies and TV shows they have made thus far??

I don't think being educated is reason enough to run for presidency either. If that's the case, anyone who is such could be easily qualified.

Under Article 7, Section 2 of the Philippine Constitution, in order to serve as President, one must be at least 40 years of age, a registered voter, able to read and write, a Filipino citizen by birth, and a resident of the Philippines for at least 10 years prior to election.

Would you actually hire someone to manage your business if he fit in all the qualifications above and nothing more? I wouldn't. I would, at least, make sure he was trustworthy and had some good managing credentials.

Why not do the same when choosing for our President who would, so to say, manage our own countrymen and the nation that our forefathers have fought and died for???

This is no bullshit, ladies and gentlemen! Make your minds work before you vote. It will be worth it.
