05/02/2015 – Manila | Liberal Party Vice Chairman and Caloocan City Representative Edgar Erice announces earlier this week that actor Dingdong Dantes, Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, and Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista are among the possible candidates that would complete the LP’s senatorial line-up this coming 2016 elections.
Dantes, 34, and commissioner-at-large of National Youth Commission, strongly stated last year that running for senator is not a part of his plan, but the actor did not confirm nor deny the recent news from Liberal Party regarding the inclusion of his name as possible candidate.
Pulse Asia released a survey last September 2014 and Dantes was ranked at 28th. The organization believes that Dantes’ rank could jump higher if the actor shows any interest in the said political position.
Amid his busy showbiz career, the newlywed actor has recently attended the ASEAN Summit together with his wife, actress Marian Rivera in Malaysia on April 20, to take part in youth delegation.
Liberal Party is eyeing more showbiz personalities that could boost their line-up this coming 2016 elections.
Fans reactions are almost entirely negative as most prefer Dantes to remain in showbiz rather than joining the dirty politics.
“He will only ruin his life and his new family the moment he let the any political party use his fame and influence. He should stay in showbiz and have a peaceful life,” Samantha Tiongson,FEU Sophomore and a Dantes fan told TPP.
