Usap-usapan ng mga netizen ang pananaw ng aktres na si Denise Laurel hinggil sa pagtakbo sa posisyon sa gobyerno ng mga kapwa artista, matapos mauntag tungkol dito ni ABS-CBN broadcast journalist Karen Davila, sa kaniyang vlog.
Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, si Denise ay great granddaughter ng dating pangulo ng Pilipinas na si José P. Laurel.
Natanong ni Karen si Denise kung hindi ba siya pine-pressure o hindi ba niya naisip na pasukin din ang politika, tutal naman ay nasa angkan nila ito.
Pero on point ang naging sagot ni Denise at pinagdiinan niyang hindi siya nakikisawsaw sa anumang usaping pampolitika.

"I don't dabble in politics at all. You won't hear anything from me. I just feel that artistas who didn't educate themselves on the government and laws should not be running," paliwanag ni Denise.
"How are they going to help the country if they don't know even just the basis of the groundwork?"
"The love to help the people will always be there. But if you really, truly love your country and do something good for it, educate yourself first," aniya pa.
Umani naman ito ng iba't ibang reaksiyon at komento mula sa netizens.
"Thank you for featuring one of the most authentic, very well bred, & loveliest young personalities in the Philippines. She sets the highest standard for Filipino children upbringing. So much respect to her Laurel family. The most honourable traditions & values. Her deep faith is clearly which guided this beautiful soul. Her talent is so underrated. Hope to see more of her."
"Educational background builds competence, but political will drives real change. Without political will, even the most brilliant mind is useless in governance."
"She's absolutely right..not just for 'artistas,' but Whoever wanted to be in public service..be educated and equipped yourself first and make sure that your motive is true...baka Mamaya eh mangngurakot lang din."
"Ganyang mindset ang pinupuri. This will the basis of them all. You have no seat in the politics if you dont have the basics."
"Ganyan ang mindset! Hindi yung sumikat ka lang, takbo ka kaagad because of your passion to help. You need proper education. Thats why i dont get it when, say, a doctor-turned-blogger runs for the Senate pero wala namang inihahaing legislative agenda and even knowledge of the law.. people like that are better off as resource persons for a PROPER senator. Hindi yung mag sesenador na lang because they want to blindly protect an idol. Ni proper debate nga ayaw mag engage."
"Change the read and write system ng old constitution"
"We cannot vote for the right people if the Constitution only requires that a candidate be literate. We must raise the standards. We must reform the Constitution. This is a systematic way to overhaul our country for the better."
"Naku po. Educated People mas Masahol magnakaw kapag nasa Gobyerno!!! Dahil wala silang pagmamahal sa kapwa at Bansa kasi..."
