the candidate politicians, showbiz personalities should help
the voters in knowing the platform of their "friend" politicians.
In reaction to a lot of showbiz personalities who are campaigning for
certain politicians, Kabataan Partylist stressed that there is a need
to avoid personality politics in choosing the right candidate.
"We know for a fact that showbiz personalities have a big influence on
the choices the voters make because of their appeal and charisma. That
is why most politicians want to seek their "help" every
election period," Karla Hyasmind Apat said.
Apat the Vice-president for Mindanao of Kabataan Partylist pointed the
crucial role of star endorsers in the coming elections.
"We want to remind the famous personalities who will raise the
arms of politicians to focus on helping the voters in making good
decisions. They should not let themselves be used as instruments of
deception that is a campaign which is solely based on personality
politics," Apat said.
The group believes that the showbiz personalities should not bank on
the friendship they share with the politicians.
"It doesn't mean that if a politician is a friend of an award winning
star he can already serve well," Apat said.
"The showbiz stars should stress that instead of saying a lame reason
of: "kaibigan ko kasi siya" making it appear that they are only doing
the endorsement out of favor. They should highlight the credibility of
the
politician, their stand on pressing issues and how the candidate could
help the country," Apat said.#
