Willie Revillame to join in 2013 Election?

Will next year’s mid-term elections be as starry as the previous ones?

This early, several actors have already revealed their plans to run in 2013, among them Aga Muhlach (for Camarines Sur congressman, fourth district), Richard Gomez (for mayor of Ormoc City) and Phillip Salvador (for vice mayor of a yet unnamed town or city). While those who lost in the 2010 elections have sworn never to plunge into the murky political waters again, those now in office are running for re-election, including topnotcher Sen. Loren Legarda, Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado, Ormoc Rep. Lucy Torres, Valenzuela City Councilor Shalani Soledad (for congresswoman, with husband Pasig City Rep. Roman Romulo for senator), Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista and several councilors in different parts of the country.

Now, is Wil Time Bigtime host Willie Revillame (photo) under a planned party-list called 1 Wil Serve which was founded as an organization on Jan. 27, 2011?

Asked about it, Willie simply smiled, as if to say, “What do you think?”

Well, I do think that he just might. If we gauge his winnability by his legions of followers/believers mostly from the grassroots, then his next stop might either be the Senate or the House of Representatives.
