Phillip Salvador has started pursuing people’s votes
Actor Phillip Salvador, who is running for senator, said that being in politics is the second book of his life.
Phillip has been in the industry for many decades already. He is known as one of the most versatile actors in the Philippine showbiz industry. Throughout his acting career, he has done various projects that have proven his caliber.
For many years, Phillip has been inactive in showbiz. He has not done any acting projects, but he became more visible in the political scene.
Phillip Salvador is a known supporter of former President Rodrigo Duterte. He is also close to Senator Bong Go, the former presidential aide of PRRD.
Last year, Phillip was one of the celebrities who filed their certificate of candidacy. He is aiming for a senatorial seat. His decision to plunge into the political arena did not sit well with many netizens. Some members of the online community slammed him as they questioned what he knows about governance and his ability to be a public servant.
Just like many politicians, newbies and veterans, Philip has also started pursuing people’s votes for the 2025 elections.
Based on the post shared by news outlet Inquirer on its official page on X, formerly Twitter, Phillip was with Sen. Bong Go in Carmen, Bohol on Wednesday, March 5.
In his statement, Phillip said that serving Filipino people is the second book in his life. “Kaya inisip ko na magbukas muli ng pangalawang aklat ng buhay ko. Hindi bilang artista kundi bilang lingkod bayan,” he said.
