Willie Revillame chooses Wowowin over politics

-

Television host Willie Revillame, a.k.a. Kuya Wil, will not be leaving Wowowin for politics. 

During an episode of his show on Thursday, Kuya Wil declared that he will not be seeking a position in the upcoming 2022 elections, following talks of his perceived Senate run. 

Kuya Wil said that the decision came after months of contemplation, despite being offered by President Rodrigo Duterte a slot in his senatorial slate for the national elections. 

“Gusto ko sanang maging senador ka… Bilib ako sa appeal mo sa masa,” Duterte said in a video message to Willie. 

According to Kuya Wil, he cannot get into something he doesn’t have enough ability and knowledge of.

“Kung sakaling tatakbo ho ako sa senado, di naman ako magaling mag-English, wala akong alam sa batas, baka ho laiit-laiitin lang ako dun ng ating mga mahal na Senador na magagaling… Siguro baka wala naman ako ma-i-ambag na batas,” stated Kuya Wil. 

“Baka dumating yung time na sayang din ang boto niyo sa akin, na wala akong nagagawa, wala ako naambag na knowledge about the law dahil hindi ho ako abogado,” he added. 

“Dapat ’pag pinasok mo ang isang bagay mag-eexcel ka. Nakakagawa ka ng kabutihan, nakakagawa ka ng tama.

“Kabutihan lang ba ang dapat mong gawin ’pag nasa Senado ka? Dapat marunong ka magbasa ng batas. Dapat marunong kang gumawa ng batas. 

“I was given a chance again, up and down ang buhay ko, pero hindi ko na ho pababayaang bumagsak pa dahil pinagkalooban na ako ng Diyos ng a lot of chances in my life.” 

In the end, Kuya Wil reiterated his dedication to serve his show and viewers. 

“Hindi ko po kailangan kumandidato. Hindi ko po kailangang manalo.Ang kailangan ko ay makasama kayo dahil sa puso ko, sa isip ko, dapat laging ang mga Pilipino, kayo ang panalo.

“Ako po, si Wilfredo Revillame, nanunumpa sa inyo, dito lang ako sa Wowowin para magsilbi sa inyo.Tuluy-tuloy po ang Wowowin,” he said.
