Election with Artists

Election here in the Philippines is coming up. You'll see in the TV the commercials of senatoriables where they use songs that are in today to make people see that they should vote them.
You will also see artists who endorse them. The real questions are, do those artist believe in those senatoriables or are they just for the money? And do the senatoriable candidates use them to get their fans to vote for them?

The second question is pretty obivious. The answer is yes and I begin to wonder if people vote them because they are good or they vote them because their favorite artist is endorsing them. The first question, not so much. You'll see Sarah Geronimo endorsing for Senatoriable Candidate Angara and many more and you just have to wonder if they are endorsing them just for the money. Sometimes, we do not know the motives of people and we are easily manipulated by them through technology. Especially in our country's state today, it is very crucial since it's election.
It made me question artists and people who vote for them and endorse them because I really think that they just vote for them because their idol is endorsing them like I said in the beginning. It is very very clever of these promotional people to get artists like them who are very loved by the masses.

To those who are in the legal age and are fans of these artists, try to question yourself if you're voting for the artist or are you voting for the senatoriable candidate. It will lead only to a thing if you're only voting because your favorite artist is endorsing the candidate, CHAOS in our beloved country.
