With seeming finality, Willie Revillame revealed he is no longer keen on pursuing a career in politics.
In his interview with Patrick Paez for The Long Take on TV 5, Revillame declared: “Ngayon medyo hindi na ako interesado sa politics. Kaya ako nandito sa TV 5, kaya ako bumalik, itutuloy ko na lang itong programa ko.”
Months back, the TV host expressed his determination to plunge into politics as he is being considered to run as senator. He feels it is the right time to run for public office.
But now, Revillame is singing a new tune as he revealed that he is exasperated by how politics has gone awry.
“Hindi na ako nanonood sa news, laging awayan nang awayan. Nakakalungkot. ‘Yung away nila kawawa ang mahihirap. Imbes na mag-away, dapat tinutuonan kung paano giginhawa ang buhay ng mga kababayan natin,” he said, believing that it is all a waste of time
“Nauubos ang news natin sa bangayan nang bangayan, sitahan nang sitahan, tinginan nang tinginan sa maling ginagawa,” he noted.
With that, he felt that he would be in the same scenario, something which he does not want to experience.
“Parang ang feeling ko, kapag pumasok ako diyan, gumawa ako ng kabutihan ay ganyan din ang mangyayari sa akin. Hahanapan pa rin ako ng mali. Tapos hahanap rin ako ng mali ng mga kalaban ko. Parang public service pero ang nangyayari public away,” he said. (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
