Susan Roces deserves to be emulated

FARR. Has the ‘total package.’

LINA Dalmacio, housewife: “Susan Roces has earned my respect because she hasn’t allowed dubious groups to use her in politics. She could have won an elective post if she wanted to. Thankfully, she knows her priorities, and politics don’t appear to be among them, unlike many other celebrities who seem to believe that show biz and politics are one and the same!”

Other views:

Mar Morales, office employee: “I was flabbergasted when I saw the wife of a popular boxer being interviewed on TV. She said that intelligence isn’t necessary in politics; the willingness to help is. This was followed by a feature on an inactive comedian who seeks a post every electoral season—and he’s now running for governor of a Visayan province!”

Leo Sabas, student: “Frencheska Farr could be GMA 7’s answer to ABS-CBN’s Sarah Geronimo. Both are products of talent searches. They’re good singers and dancers, and they’re lovely!

“But, Farr’s career has been on a standstill for some time now. Her acclaimed turn in ‘Emir’ proved that she could act, but she hasn’t been given a substantial role since. This is unfortunate, because Frencheska has the ‘total package!’”
