Wowowin TV Host Willie Revillame denied rumors about him running for any Senatorial post in the upcoming 2022 National Elections, said he will not venture into politics.
In his show, ‘Tutok to Win sa Wowowin’ Revillame revealed that he has no plans of taking any seat in the Senate since he believes that he does not need a position to help people.
“Hindi ko po kailangan kumandidato. Hindi ko po kailangan manalo. Ang kailangan ko ay makasama kayo. Dahil sa puso ko, sa isip ko, dapat laging ang mga Pilipino ang panalo,” he said.
Revillame vowed on national television that he will continue helping the public through his show.
“Ako po si Wilfredo Revillame, nanunumpa sa inyo dito lang ako sa ‘Wowowin’ para magsilbi sa inyo,” he added.
Speculations about Revillame’s candidacy arose when he admitted that President Rodrigo Duterte himself messaged him, convincing him to run for Senator in the election.
However, the TV host pointed out that he is not knowledgeable about the law, making him not suited for the position.
“Pag tinanong ako, ‘Bakit ka tatakbo, Willie?’ ‘Gusto kong gumawa ng kabutihan.’ Yun lang. O, kabutihan lang ba ang dapat mong gawin pag nasa senado ka? Dapat marunong kang magbasa ng batas. Dapat marunong kang gumawa ng batas, ‘di ba?” he said.
He then added that the public might leave a bad impression on him since he has no experience making a law.
“Kung sakaling tatakbo ho ako sa senado, hindi naman ako magaling mag-Ingles. Wala akong alam sa batas. Baka ho lait-laitin lang ako doon ng ating mga mahal na senador na magagaling. Hindi man lait-laitin, siguro baka wala naman akong maiaambag na batas, di ba? Baka dumating yung time na sayang lang yung boto niyo sa akin, na wala akong nagagawa. Wala rin akong naiambag na knowledge about the law dahil hindi ho ago abogado,” he added.
Revillame also expressed dismay and disappointment about how the candidates argue over some issues.
“Sa napapanood ko po ngayon, parang nalulungkot ako dahil awayan nang awayan. Binoto kayo ng sambayanan. ‘Yan ang napapanood ng lahat ng Pilipino,” he said.
Revillame started as an actor before becoming a resident TV host in his programs Wowowee, Wowowillie, Will Time Bigtime, and Wowowin.
