Not advocating minimum qualifications for candidates, that would be undemocratic. I just wish candidates had the decency to at least qualify themselves for the not-so-easy task of governing the people. Half of them probably don't even have a clue what they're asking from the Filipino people. Running for office is literally a burden and they need to know that they have to be up to the task. Sadly, I think most of them are just in it for the "celebrity" status and the money-making potential of politics.
And as for the people, I only hope they're not dumb enough not to spot the phonies.
