Why are politicians in the philippines not sincere with running the government fairly and in favour of the poor, instead they all work for themselves and their own pockets and benefits. Movie stars and famous people run the government sometimes people without knowledge or education let alone running a country. The ordinary people in the country are being duped with famous politician/movie stars. These politicians takes advantage of people’s poverty and needs.

Yes, this is mostly related to the recent Paris escapade ,but I’m trying to look at this from a wider angle. Most celebrities get lighter penalties than average Joes. What do you think of the justification of this treatment. As in, why are some people apt to believe they really shouldn’t be punished, aside from them maybe being a fan of the person.
I’m sure average joes get pretty sweet deals when they have either a good lawyer or a solid case ,but I mean people who actually did something wrong and deserve the maximum punishment.
Manifree(can’t read the rest) actually makes a sound point ,but this could be argued in the sense that any punishment could be made to be rewarding to society. If they made people who stole things work in soup kitchens would it not be helpful to society? I’m just making the point that just because a person is talented or famous otherwise it shouldn’t make them immune to the law.
The only thing that really made me mad is the reasoning for why she shouldn’t be punished saying that she provides entertainment and excitement to the world. If that’s the case I guess anyone who contributes anything shouldn’t be punished.
