    Thumbs up From Supermodel To Public Servant

    Jennifer Cruz was born 42 years ago. Hers is truly a "rags to riches" story. But one with a BIG difference. Different in that, despite becoming a noted beauty - as well as a celebrated actress - she's never forgotten her humble beginnings. And so, after being elected Vice Mayor of the municipality of Pola in Oriental Mindoro - using her stage name, Ina Alegre - last June, she would appear to have been ... ... "in a"(pun intended) hurry to utilise her newly-acquired political status as a "platform" for highlighting the plight of the many impoverished families similar to hers.

    Agreed. The Philippines is a bit like the US, where they idolise someone they know (Manny P for example). These people can do a lot of good for the country. I wonder who the next US President will be? The Rock or Oprah?
