After watching "The Jessica Soho Presidential Interviews" over the weekend, seasoned actor Dingdong Dantes had some realization.

He shared this with fans.

"Last night’s Presidential interview highlighted how responsible journalism can help shape perspectives & present reality. It started with candidness and evolved into an in-depth scrutiny of complex issues that were made simpler and easier to digest for Filipinos. Diretso sa punto. Walang paligoy-ligoy. It didn’t fail to layout the real situation of our country: from Climate Change...to poverty & corruption...to our COVID response," he wrote on Instagram.

"It was also a much needed forum to level off the playing field as it put out hard but very important questions for our presidential hopefuls. Lumitaw ‘yung may plano. Naging obvious kung sino ang pasok sa iyong kasalukuyang hinahanap."

Having been born in the early 80s, Dingdong thinks this is one of the "most important" elections of his life.

He reiterated that whoever people choose will dictate how we would recover from the pandemic.

"Of course, I have my own preference. But this is a product of a process that I’d like to share with young people today."

Dingdong cited "plan," "discern," and act."

According to him, before deciding who to vote for, people should do their research and make sure the integrity of the source of information.

"Hindi sapat na magsaliksik lang sa social media. Manood ng interviews kagaya na lang ng sa GMA. You have to go out there and search for what you think you and your country needs," he pointed out.

He advised his followers to also do not look at "winnability or popularity."

"Search for integrity, competence and commitment to the values of humanity. Be sensitive not only to your own circumstance, but also to the plight of your countrymen. Your generation and the next ones will depend on our decisions today," Dingdong reiterated.

And lastly, he believes everyone should go out and exercise their rights.

"Claim your role as responsible citizens. You have a role in our society’s quest 4 genuine good governance," he reminded.

"And while we wait for that big day, we should continue looking for helpful and valid resources such as what Jessica and her Team have delivered to us last night. We are what we consume. That’s why we have to be mindful of what we feed our mind. While everyone can be an agent of information dissemination in a highly globalized world, there are still institutions who are raising the bar for media and public service. Last night was a showcase of how it should be done."
