                    [Title] => How to stop showbiztocracy and promote real democracy
                    [Summary] => 






An agitated mobile phone texter sent me this: "Stop watching Pinoy movies in cinemas and buy only pirated Pinoy movie DVDs. If you kill the movie industry, then no more movie stars can enter politics!" 


But can we really stop showbiz-tocracy? Yes we can. But first we must eradicate the reasons why people, mostly the masses and the poorest of the poor, elect showbiz personalities in the first place.
