October 4 ------ As the election period officially starts, actress Jodi Sta. Maria and content creator Arshie Larga reminded their fans about the importance of making informed decisions. Sta. Maria reiterated that people have the “strength” to decide who gets elected for public office on her X (formerly Twitter) account. “My morning thought — We may not have control over who runs for public office, but our strength lies in wisely choosing those deserving of our trust. Make informed choices,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Larga, who’s also a licensed pharmacist, reminded his fellow content creators on X to do proper research before deciding to “endorse a certain political candidate.” “Sa mga content creators na makakakuha ng inquiry to endorse a certain political candidate. Please do your research first. Alamin nyo ang mga plataporma ng mga kandidatong ito,” he said. “Let’s be responsible content creators. Don’t do it just for the money. Future natin ang nakataya dito (Our future is at stake),” he further added.
The content creator then clarified that he would not endorse a candidate out of money, but due to his belief in their platform. He, however, didn’t disclose whom he would vouch for in the upcoming elections. “Personally, hindi ako magpapabayad para lang i-endorse ang isang kandidato. Kung may makita man kayong post ko about a certain political candidate, it’s because naniniwala ako sa kakayahan ng kandidatong ito at sa kanyang plataporma. Yun lang po,” he wrote.
