this from facebook friend Marian Pastor Roces: Hi there. I do not think it is inherently in the professions of acting or sports to be unable to contribute to sensible discourse in legislation and statecraft.

It is, to my mind, the particular personalities of specific individuals seeking seats in the Senate that is abhorrent. Whatever their previous work.
i agreed: true, not inherent in the professions of acting or sports. i’m tempted to blame the lawyers in the senate instead who have the legislative racket down pat, and who are the guiding force, so to speak, for the showbiz n sports shoo-ins… while also agreeing with vinluan re tra-political parties…
