Puno, who answered 37 out of 40 questions, got serious when questions about politics were thrown at him.

First, he was asked who is the most corrupt politician for him. The Makati councilor answered vaguely, "Most corrupt is, of course, the one now in administration." Then, he added, "They say it's the First Gentleman [Mike Arroyo], I don't know if that's true."

One of the DJs asked, "Sinong artista ang ayaw mong makita sa politics?" Rico answered without hesitation, "Si Richard [Gomez] nga ayoko. I hope he changes his mind."

The singer further explained, "Kasi, first of all, he doesn't have the experience."

He also added that Richard should have started running for administrative office, like the mayoralty post, before vying for the legislative office.

"Making laws is different... You know, minsan mas makakasira doon sa iba na qualified kung tumakbo, kapag pinilit pa," said Rico J.

Puno, however, clarified that there's nothing personal to his comments. He just thought that, "If you're serious about entering the politics, maski na mas mababa ng kaunti roon—maski na barangay tanod, pwede naman."

When asked who is the most plastic politician for him, Rico answered Senator Lito Lapid. "I hope he doesn't mind this, si Lito Lapid kasi he was elected as senator for six years, pagkatapos he wants to go to Makati and tell people, tell the mayor [Jejomar Binay], he wants to continue what he is doing today in Makati.

Comelec release an ultimatum order for Cesar Montano about his running for senate. He was ordered to strip down all his billboards in less than three days.
But before that, I am not in favor for showbiz personalities running for public office. I mean, they already excel on their craft in acting and people look-up them as that but if they will serve for the people, I don’t think so. I have no doubt Cesar Montano is world-class actor and a very good director and I look-up him for that. But to join politics is a dirty game, specially in the Philippines, worst he joined the Team Unity which also has been receiving a failed remarks from the people. Maritoni Fernandez, a fellow TV and movie personality aired her opinions on celebrities running or joining in politics and said “I’m not so much for it because I think it takes a certain amount of background, a certain kind of education, and a certain kind of upbringing to become a good public servant, you know. And you have to have the heart for the people talaga.”
