male actor who was famous in
the field of movies, for he is
a heartthrob, he’s name is
Rogelio Dela Rosa. He was given
a seat in the Senate because of
the movie where he sang the
Filipino kundiman songs to
those who will judge their
movie and as they’ve liked it,
he was given a chance to seat
in the Philippine Senate. As a
senator, he followed suit Ramon
Magsaysay’s which made him
closer to the opportunity to
win the hearts of the people.
For he was still popular at the
time that when he ran for
president, he was too confident
that he’ll win the position
even if he was competing with
his brother-in-law Diosdado
Macapagal. That is why some
celebrities, mostly the famous
ones were too confident that
they’ll have the vote of the
people for they are popular.
