On national TV news the other night, Willie Revillame was seen ordering camera men to climb on stage during a rally of Manny "Wysiwyg" Villar and train their cameras at the crowd to show the world that "hundreds of thousands" of people were flocking to Villar’s rally.
The point Revillame was trying to make was that the media was not being truthful in its crowd estimates when it came to Villar’s campaign sorties. Later, news clips showed Revillame leaving the rally site surrounded by what appeared to be bodyguards, looking like a big shot who had all the influence in the world.
I didn’t know whether to hate him some more or just laugh.
I decided to laugh.
For one thing, the point he was trying to make was stupid. Who cares how many attend Villar’s rallies? Besides, when you’re as delusive as the master you serve, 1,000 can look like 10,000, 5,000 can look like 50,000, and so on and so forth. The point is, it’s not how many are attending Villar’s rallies but how many are not.
The recent surveys of SWS and Pulse Asia reveal it: Villar’s ratings are plummeting, all due to the fact that Villar’s true colors are showing. He is lying through his teeth when he bandies about that he was born and grew up poor.
If Villar’s campaign is all about lies, what do you think his presidency will be like if he wins? But here’s what makes shivers run up and down my spine. If he wins what role will he give the national sleaze, Willie Revillame, in his government?
Speculate and weep.

I cannot agree with you more on that statement. Mr. Revillame has become very arrogant nowadays. I think his horns need to be trimmed. I do commend him for being a great host for wowowie but his head is getting bigger. Maybe he is acting as a spoiled brat in abs-cbn because he knows that they won’t let him go due to the fact that no one seems to be more capable of hosting his show. Well, not to mention the recent incident with Mr. Sucaldito. I cannot recall anyone working in that station challenging the management just because his EGO was stepped on. WoW, he thinks he and his show are one and if you criticize them you criticize the Filipino masses??
About Villar, he has these 3 guys endorsing him. These 3 have a common denominator freaking rich, famous and womanizers. They excel in some fields but credibility is definitely not one of them.

LECHE!! Walang Kwenta ang Show. If the management keeps Willie for money, that speaks of the values of the ABS CBN Management. I’m hoping they would prove themselves to be more than that. FIRE WILLIE!
TO THE ABS CBN MANAGEMENT TEAM: REMEMBER TV IS A POWERFUL MEDIA TO INFLUENCE FILIPINO PEOPLE. IF YOU SUPPORT THE PROPAGATION OF ARROGANCE, HUMILIATION AND INDIFFERENCE IN THE PERSON OF WILLIE JUST TO EARN MONEY, THAT DOES NOT SPEAK OF YOUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS AN ENTITY
