From the Inquirer . MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino has appointed actor-director Cesar Montano as a member of the Optical Media Board, replacing violinist John Philip Lesaca. Montano, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate in the May 2007 under the coalition Team Unity, was appointed as a private sector representative from an industry relying on intellectual property protection. Montano was appointed to a term expiring on March 5, 2013.

From Manila Bulletin . Young actor Gerald Anderson refused to call his rescue missions during the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy as acts of heroism. "Gusto kong i-clear up 'yong tinatawag kaming hero or bayani, nakakahiya po talaga. Kasi ‘yong mga tunay na heroes, 'yong mga tunay na bayani, nadiyan sila sa labas tumutulong pa rin," he told “Showbiz News Ngayon” on Oct. 5. The interview with Gerald was held after the story conference of his next Star Cinema movie which pairs him with perennial leading lady Kim Chiu. "Nagkataon lang na napiktyuran ako, na artista ako kaya nalaman ng tao kung ano 'yung ginawa ko. Pero, I'm not (a hero). Siyempre, nakakataba ng puso dahil sinasabi nila na tumulong ako. (But) that's (all) that I tried to do, (I) just (tried) to help." Full story at http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/223517/gerald-anderson-downplays-his-rescue-missions

I don't get it, what makes someone who is popular in the Philippines suddenly get the "calling" to run for politics?

I read on the news that he is even taking a crash course in public service to learn how to become a public official. WTF?!? How do you learn how to draft a law in a few months? Lawyers takes at least 6 years plus a bar exam to even understand the law. But a few months and you want to run for the senate? Holy Guacamoli! And he even said that he stands to lose P100 Million in endorsement for running for the senate. I would just take the endorsement, all I have to do is smile and look good for the camera. Why even get the headache of running the country? Oh I know, he got paid a lot more than P100M to run for the administration. Guess who's money that came ...
