CJ Hirro reacts to the rising number of celebrity candidates entering Philippine politics, starting with Philip Salvador’s announcement to run for senator. The video takes a closer look at the motivations behind his candidacy, the public’s reaction, and how this trend mirrors previous examples—such as Willie Revillame’s campaign performances and Bong Revilla’s long-standing association with entertainment-driven politics. CJ also discusses figures like LRAY Villafuerte and Nonong Bautista, offering sharp commentary on how showbiz and politics continue to intersect in the Philippines.
This reaction goes beyond surface-level critique, raising important questions about the dignity of the Senate, the qualifications expected from public servants, and the role of popularity in winning votes. With honesty, wit, and political insight, CJ challenges viewers to think critically about who truly deserves a seat in public office.
