Nevertheless, celebrities have also used their platforms to promote responsible voting.
Astig siguro kung may app na i-click lang natin yung political candidates tapos lalabas yung profile nila, achievements, pending cases, socio-political platforms, and net worth. Pero dahil wala, research tayo kung sino dapat iboto, 10 mins lang to kapalit ng kinabukasan natin???
