Willie Revillame: A Timely Lesson for Pacquiao


In an all too rare but appropriate course of action of a popular showbiz personality, television host Willie Revillame announced that he will not run for elections next year.

"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."

Pacquiao should take his cue from Willie and, instead, focus his efforts and resources in supporting Leni's bid for the presidency. He would thus be remembered not only for being one of the greatest boxers of all time but also for being the selfless politician that helped to put an end to the lies and plunder of Marcos and Dutae.

Ironically, in the current scenario that Pacquiao insists on pursuing his bid for the presidency, he is setting himself up for a humiliating defeat while, at the same time, "stealing" the D and E sector votes that would otherwise be bought by Marcos and Dutae (either the BatogaGo or the SaragaGo tandem to be known on November 15, 2021). Either way, Pacquiao will actually be helping Leni win the presidency. It's Pacquiao's choice to do so as a hero or as an idiot. If only Pacquiao would listen to the words of wisdom of Dirty Harry and Willie . . .

Vote Leni Robredo for President and Kiko Pangilinan for Vice President!
