Celebrities endorsing political candidates are the hot the item right now. Some people and groups like Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) wants the clebrities to take leave of absence from their work if they choose to endorse a candidate, basing it on Republic Act 9009 or Fair Election Act.
Kris Aquino felt that the said Comelec rule is unfair and it can be compared to Martial Law.
She said via ABS-CBN, "The COMELEC wants artists who are actively participating in the campaign to take a leave or be jailed. Since when has it been wrong to make a stand for what you believe? What is so wrong in wanting to take an active role in our democratic process?
"If it's wrong to care about the Philippines and practice my constitutional right to free speech and my freedom to vote, then jail me and let's go back to the dark days of Martial Law!"
Kris' bother Noynoy is running for President of the Philippines.
