10 Most Famous Pinoy Celebrities Who Ventured Into Politics But Lost

1: RICHARD GOMEZ

 

There is something about Richard Gomez. Long touted as the most eligible bachelor in the Philippines and the subject of many a-Pinay woman’s (and half-women half-men too) most intimate desires, you can’t fault Goma for lack of charms and good looks. And he would not be running out of cash anytime soon. Not only is he still making the rounds of TV and movie projects, he’s married to one beautiful, rich mestiza from Leyte, Lucy Torres-Gomez, daughter to one of Ormoc’s richest.

But, sad to say, politics has not been kind to Richard. He has, in fact, posted a losing streak that has hounded him up to this day. From trying his luck at grabbing a seat in the senate in 2007, to running as a congressman in Ormoc City in 2010, and running for mayor in the 2013 elections. Good thing his beautiful wifey is not as unlucky and today sits as the congressman for the 4th District of Leyte. Goma might as well try his luck for Barangay Captain. If still he will lose, perhaps President of the Chapel. Or perhaps, should take a hint.

Ran for: Mayor
Failed Constituency: Ormoc, Leyte
Timeline : 2013
