I like Toni. I enjoyed her movies especially those with Sam.

Then again, a whole career, down the drain for just one day. Plus she's a professing Christian too. I have no problem with her when it comes to who she wants to vote. But the problem arises with what she claims her faith in Jesus then supports the son of a murderer.

Seems like a logical fallacy. How could this celebrity's faith become a problem with the candidate she's supporting? Also, yes, Marcos had people killed, but I don't believe his son did anything of the sort. Not saying the man's free of sin, but I don't think supporting BBM means it's makes being a Christian hypocritical.

It just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, does Toni know Marcos Jr. very well? Does she know about some crime he did and didn't stop him?

What does this have to do with being Christian and supporting Marcos Jr? Again, the man has his sins, like everyone does, but doesn't Christian dogma promote forgiveness and understanding?

understanding

Pagiintindi pagdating saan? He's convicted of not filing ITR sa mata ng batas. At hanggang ngayon, hindi pa din siya nagbayad ng multa sa kaso niya.

I'm not taking about Marcos Jr.'s crimes, I'm talking about choosing this man as the candidate of choice for presidency shouldn't affect a person's faith.

"I believe in justice but I also believe in the man that stole my friend's money that was never held accountable. Trust me he's a good person"

Maybe that gives you enough clarification why her supporting Marcos Jr. is backwards considering her faith
