I got from my Twitter account one Tweet insinuating the Willie Revillame might run as VP of Senator Manny Villar. Oh no!!! No way!!! I hope not. This could have resulted from an article quoting Willie promising to be a "clean politician", if ever he does run. See this article. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/09/18/09/willie-vows-be-clean-politician?page=1. Latest is, there is a text circulating a denial from ABS-CBN and Senator Manny Villar's camp. I still have to receive the text though.

I too have the same sentiment about Villar. I can see many viable candidates from his row and going to the level of Willie is just as damaging to him as Willie is not just the ideal person for VP. Even though he may posses the charisma from his fans it may not fully convert into votes during the elections because he is just not into politics.

That is a problem with us Pinoys we seems to lean on popularity but I do hope that the voters of today would be different.

A lot of politicians are banking on the popularity of Willie. Let us hope that people are wise enough who to choose.

this is one proof that money villar is desperate. he sees danger because noynoy is becoming more popular and now topping the surveys that once villar dominated. what for god's sake is in the mind of villar to even think of revillame as his vice presidential mate? it show the colors of villar. when he failed to utilize the poor in his campaign, now he wants to exploit the "popularity" of the infamous revillame just to boost his campaign. never in my life that i'll vote for a villar-revillame tandem! villar may deny it but there are also rumors that he will have revillame in his (nacionalita) senatorial slate. it just sucks just the same!

A person who has political ambitions will do anything just to get to power. And that is scary!!!!

I hope it's not true. And he is going back to his show so I dont think that he has any plans for politics at least not yet. It seems that he is not closing his door to the possibility. But I hope for his own and family's sake that he does not.

ABS-CBN and Senator Villar's camp are denying the rumors. Well I hope it is not really true.

Oh my God! ! ! If this is true, politics in our country would be ridiculous. On the other hand, actors/actresses have guts to run during elections because people vote for them. It's the popularity that counts but not the ability to be in the position. If only we are that responsible voters, it would not be a problem.

I personally do not have anything against actors and actresses. Some have a proven track record. I hope that this time people will not base it on popularity but on one's capability.

People always look at the candidate's track record and not what his promises are. Anybody can easily say, "I will give jobs to millions of Filipino People." I do not have anything against Willie, but c'mon, please.
