Willie Revillame for Senator in 2016?

Rumors are indeed true. Willie Revillame had already announced he will be foregoing his TV stint in TV 5 and he will not be renewing his contract when it expires on October. While leaving TV5 is very hard, his intent to leave the station was announced just last Tuesday in his show, Wowowillie.

“Alam ninyo, may mga personal na rason na hindi ko na sasabihin sa inyo. Ako muna’y magpapahinga ng ilang buwan, ng isang taon o anuman... Tatapusin ko na lang po ang kontrata ko sa TV5,” he said as quoted in PEP.

He added: “Ganyan talaga ang buhay. Kasi kailangan ko rin ng time. Malungkot lang ay hindi tayo magkikita araw-araw. Wala nang sigawan, walang umiiyak sa saya, walang nabibigyan ng pamasahe, walang nabibigyan ng ganito."

He also said that the last airing of his show might be on October 12, 2013. “Kapag may nagsara na bintana, may magbubukas na pintuan. Basta mag-e-enjoy pa rin tayo.”

TV5 is very respectful of Revillame's retirement. Is this the indication that Willie Revillame will be running for Senator come 2016 Philippine elections?
