was left almost speechless after listening to some phone in comments at DZBB (Thanks, Me-Anne!) from FPJ supporters defending their candidate's citizenship, lack of education, lack of government office experience and his sincerity in running for office. I've done my best to remember and translate here:

On Citizenship

Caller: You see, it doesn't matter whether FPJ is Filipino or not. His heart is with the Filipino people.
Host: Well, it's this way: it's in the Constitution that the President must be Filipino.
Caller: Oh, yeah? Well, who wrote that Constitution! It's the rich and greedy people who have been controlling this country for centuries.
Host: That's not true.
Caller: You know, they are attacking FPJ's citizenship because they are afraid of him. He is a very strong candidate.
Host: But that is not to say that he is or is not Filipino.
Caller: It matters only if he will not serve the Filipino people.

On Education and Experience

Caller: How can we judge FPJ's lack of education when if we look at our selves, we have not accomplished what he has.
Host: He has accomplished a lot for movies and film. This is the country we are talking about. That's very different.
Caller: It's not different for FPJ. He will apply the same courage and strength he has shown ever since he was a kid who decided he would work and help his family instead of going to school.
Host: But wouldn't you want someone who is at least a college graduate to lead the country?
Caller: You know, those "educated" people, I never understand them anyway. It's too serious. When they call on debates, it's all talk, and they never get anything done. They only show if one candidate is smarter than the other.
(Me: Exactly!)
Host: But isn't that what's good for the country?
Caller: The Bible says do not judge others. Let's not judge FPJ yet.

On Sincerity

Caller: No one asked FPJ to run. He asked the Filipino people if they wanted him to become president and we said yes. He is offering his help. He doesn't need money. He is a billionaire.
Host: But what of the rumors that Erap and his allies just talked him into running?
Caller: Those are just rumors. FPJ is honest about wanting to help the country. He has worked hard all his life, and has remained quiet and now is the time for a hero (bayani) to come out of the ashes and save our country. He is offering his help.
