ACTRESS Judy Ann “Juday” Santos might find herself in trouble
because of her commercial defending the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).
Rep. Bienvenido Abante Jr. of Manila said he
already ordered the legal officers of the House Committee on Public
Information to look into the possible repercussions of the
commercial.
Although he said the committee doesn’t have
plans yet to invite Santos to a hearing, the lawmaker assured that
they will not allow the issue to die down because it concerns public
interest.
At the same time, Abante appealed to the members
of the entertainment industry to be more responsible in accepting
advertising offers and to always put public interest first before
money.
Earlier, several groups scored the actress for
appearing in the Meralco advertisement. The Volunteers Against Crime
and Corruption even called for a boycott of the movies where Santos
is appearing.
Government Service Insurance System spokesperson
Estrella Elamparo on Wednesday described the Meralco advertisements
of Santos as a “desperate act” on the part of the Lopezes.
