Willie Revillame has this message for bashers of celebrities who joined politics
Veteran TV host Willie Revillame defended himself and his fellow celebrities who decided to enter the political arena.
Willie, also known as Kuya Wil, is just one of the many celebrities who crossed over from showbiz to politics. After several years of refusing to be in politics, the TV host eventually decided to run for senator.
To recall, when asked in an interview regarding his platform or plans once he is elected, he said that he has no plan for now because he is not yet elected. With this, he received criticism online.
Willie Revillame is not the sole recipient of negative comments about celebrities who decided to join politics. He was aware that some people are not in favor of celebrities crossing over to public service.
In a viral video, the veteran TV host expressed his thoughts on people criticizing celebrities in the political arena.
He said that during the campaign period, people were looking for the celebrities brought by the candidates. He also pointed out that people go to the cinema to watch the artists, and when it comes to music, people also listen to entertainers.
“Tas pag tumatakbo na kami at gusto naming magserbisyo, ayaw niyo? Da ba? That’s a lot of nonsense. I can’t believe this, hay nako!” he said.
Di pa nananalo to.

Meanwhile, just recently, Willie Revillame also went viral because of what he said during a political event. He said that he will do “hep hep hooray” in the Senate if senators have arguments. His game show Wil To Win, which is currently airing on TV5, has a portion called Hep Hep Hooray. He also mentioned his famous line, “bigyan ng jacket yan,” with his usual cash prize of P5,000.
gusto mo magserbisyo? fine. sa senado? na ang trabaho gumawa ng batas. so sagutin mo anu ang mga nasa isip mo na panukalang pwede isabatas. wag ka mamigay ng jacket. at wag ka magalit, di pwede balat sibuyas sa politika. bawas bawas din ng yabang minsan.
