Senator Lito Lapid’s Silly “Leon Guerero” Campaign
Senator Lito Lapid is back in the campaign trail with his political ad sporting his legendary movie role of “Leon Guereroâ€.
Even before his latest political ad has rolled on our TV screens, he has already been listed as the number 2 among the senators who may win in the May 2010 senatorial race only next to fellow actor Bong Revilla Jr. on the surveys.
I really don’t know if all those who were surveyed were his die-hard fans or they were just confused and thought the question was actually, “Who are the celebrity politicians you know in the Senate who have not done any piece of legislation?â€
And for one, this actor turned politician is still hounded by corruption charges together with his son in Pampanga on the quarry operations when they were still governor. Check out, while their collection was so small compared to Among Ed Panilio’s, the latter is being kicked out of his seat as governor. Anak ng Pinatubo nga naman oh! Mukang napuno ng abo ng Pinatubo ang mga utak ng Comelec Commissioners.
Leon Guerero is back and asking for our votes while riding on his white horse ala true Texan. If only his prowess and courage on all his movies and films could also be of the same caliber (Like killing two villains with only one bullet. How? He placed the blade of his jungle knife in front of the barrel of his gun. Boom! Two bad men laid dead.) inside the senate hall, I could have been a happier man.
But geez, maybe just wanted to win again as a senator in order to have his ultimate dream of a photo-op with President Obama of the US come true? And have a say on what menu to eat during dinner at Le Cirque, kanin and adobo? (Well, when they had dinner, and all those fancy dishes were served to him, he said he did not like the food as they did not fill his stomach.)
Anyone who is to vote for him? Watch out, Max Alvarado will run after you.

What do you think of Lito Lapid running again for a senate seat and using his “Leon Guerero” role on his campaign? Will you vote for him? Why, why not?

What to do with aging movie stars? Elect them to Congress, of course. What if they contribute nothing as legislators? So? Isn’t it our belief that the best government is a kind of government that governs the least? There. I hope that appeases you a little. Ahehehe
oh come’on! mag-isip-isip naman yung mga taong boboto sa kanya! Ano ba! he’s been in the Senate pero may nagawa na ba sya? O baka yung ipinaglaban niya na Tagalog ang gamiting primary medium of communication sa government ang nakikitang positive ng mga tao. O siya siya! iluklok na nating lahat ang mga artista sa Senado kung pasikatan lang din naman! tsk tsk
During his term as Governor, I have witnessed his will to serve. Unfortunately, he lacked the education that would otherwise make him more respectable to his intellectual colleagues who are very savvy at corruption.
Lito Lapid may not be well educated, but seeing a man of authority being under the gush of lahar flow without any other motive other than to help is worth voting.
Hahahaha! The government that has the least accomplishments or politicians with the least accomplishments yet earning big time…waaah!
Movie stars or even basketball stars look at government posts as retirement houses? Awts!

Hi Walter, thanks for the comment!
Well, I think it is not an issue of being educated or not, but it is all about doing what public officials should be doing especially after getting lots of perks in public office, and on this particular matter, being a legislator at that.

To be fair with Lito Lapid, he had passed a good number of bills into laws. Though belonging to the senate minority, he was able to pass a bill into law just recently, before the Congress took a recess. And having done so is a big feat in itself.

Hi Fjords! heheheh! Cool ka lang, ang dugo mo, eheheh!

Haym lights camera action…

I agree that he has passed some bills but to author some important bills is I think a different? Well, it is my personal opinion though that we should not be grateful if they have passed some laws as legislators for first and foremost, it is their job, that is what they are paid for.
Maybe passing some laws is indeed a big feat in itself for Lapid knowing how he fared as a senator, eheheh!
I am maybe expecting our legislators to work more, perform more and do some more chores inside the halls of the Senate.
