When news broke that
Kris Aquino picked
Dingdong Dantes to be the endorser / youth spokesman for Noynoy's presidential bid, some eyebrows raised. It can be noted that Dingdong is a Kapuso talent while Kris is a gem in ABS-CBN.
Some asked why not
Piolo Pascual,
Sam Milby,
John Lloyd Cruz or other stars of the Kapamilya network? Some says it is because Dingdong has no blemish in his record as an actor and in his personal life. Piolo and Sam were rumored to be in a relationship before, but still, there are some Kapamilya stars who have no bad record or whatsoever.
For me, the choice of Dingdong is a briliant political move by Noynoy's camp. It cannot be denied that both the Kapuso and Kapamilya have huge following all over the country. Those loyal followers can be translated into votes come election time.
The Kapamilya's can be taken care of by Kris Aquino, who is a Kapamilya herself. We know the charisma of Kris. he can bring other Kapamilya stars to campaign for Noynoy. Now, how about the Kapuso followers? That is now the responsibility of Dingdong. Dingdong will be in-charge in wooing the Kapuso voters for Noynoy.
In fact, as of this writing,
Marian Rivera, who is a Kapuso star and rumored girlfriend of Dingdong, has already expressed her support for the candidacy of Noynoy. When the election comes nearer, more and more Kapuso stars will follow the lead initiated by Dingdong and Marian.
Imagine the battalion of Kapamilya and Kapuso stars campaigning for Noynoy. One of their slogans would be "Unity" and you can see the competing stars united for him and that will have a great impact on the masses.
Ok, I'll start campaigning now "NOYNOY FOR PRESIDENT!".
