TV host Willie Revillame, a.k.a Kuya Wil, has endorsed Senator Bong Go for president and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio for vice president in the May 2022 national elections.
“Naniniwala ako sa kanila eh. Tutulong ka sa mahirap, edi itutuloy namin ‘yun,” Willie explained why he’s backing Go and Duterte-Carpio, who are running for the two highest positions in the country under different political parties, during the inauguration of the 149th Malasakit Center in Malabon on Tuesday.
According to Willie, he has been making his own efforts to give a Go-Duterte tandem a go for next year’s polls.
“Nagkausap kami ni Mayor Sara. Kahapon sabi ko lang dapat maayos ang lahat para sumaya ang bansang Pilipinas. Dapat maging isang pamilya kasi pag nakakakita ka na ng magulo, nagkakaaway-away na nafu-frustrate ang bawat Pilipino.
“Ako gumagawa lang ng isang bagay na para mabuo eh. Tatakbong presidente, tatakbong president, tatakbong vice president. Kung mabuo edi maganda. Parang ganun lang hindi naman pagmamagaling sa akin ‘yun eh. Opinyon ko lang ‘yun,” he added.
The presidential daughter withdrew her mayoralty reelection bid to join the vice presidential race under the Lakas-CMD party.
The former presidential aide turned senator was initially running for vice president under PDP-Laban, but withdrew his candidacy and declared his presidential bid under PDDS last Saturday, November 13.
Wille, who was previously urged by President Rodrigo Duterte to run as senator, said he was supporting Go because he owed it to the presidential aspirant that he’s able to continue his charity work on his Wowowin show amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Ayaw niya ipasabi ‘to eh. Kaya ho ako nakabalik during the pandemic nung lockdown, nakiusap ako sa kanya na magkakaroon ako ng live show sa GMA, babalik ako para makatulong,” he shared.
“Nakabalik ako sa programa dahil sa kanya eh. Nakatulong ako, nakagawa ako ng kabutihan for almost two years dahil pinayagan niya ako na makalipad at makabalik sa Wil Tower.
“Malaking utang na loob ko yun sa kanya dahil nagawa ko ‘yung gusto kong gawin na makapagbigay ng 30,000, makapagbigay ng tablet, jacket ng 30,000 for almost two years sa ating mga kababayan.”
