TV host Willie Revillame has turned down a political offer to run as senator on the 2022 elections, citing he don't have the law making ability to recommend amendments or to even draft laws. His words was loved by many netizens during his television show on GMA Network, Thursday.
"Sa araw na ito, tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang Wowowin. 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, kayo ang panalo," said Willie.
Willie assured the public that he will continue his advocacy to help through his TV program Wowowin while admitted he is not knowledgeable about the law.
"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.
"Kung sakaling tatakbo ako sa Senado hindi naman ako magaling mag-English, wala akong alam sa batas, baka lait-laitin ako roon. Baka wala rin ako maiambag na batas, o dumating yung time na sayang din yung boto niyo sa akin," he added.
Previously, President Duterte said he offered Revillame to run for senator in the 2022 elections but the latter was having second thoughts on his political plan.
By that statement many netizens expressed warm admiration for the TV host with one said in jest, "bigyan niyo ng jacket si Kuya Wil."

"We need diverse representation in the Senate. It shouldn’t be limited to lawyers, but Senators should have competence to pass laws — can interpellate, debate and hold meaningful dialogues," another another one said.

Sir Willie Revillame, I applaud you for your kindness and generosity. You are truly one of a kind. But please, politics is not for you. You will only be someone's pawn. Sa potilics, hindi uubra ang mabait lang. You'll have to be wiser than your opponents and peers.
