Bong Revilla clears issue on running for VP on 2010

Senator and actor Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. cleared the issue on his reported intention to run for vice president in the 2010 national elections.

Revilla said that it is still too early to talk on whether he will run for the vice-presidency.

"Napag-uusapan lang 'yan tuko tukso but you know that will come," the senator said.

"Alam mo napakatagal pa niyan, wala tayong idapat i-rush sa totoo lang 2010 ilang taon pa 'yan ang daming problemang hinaharap natin sa bansa ngayon," Revilla added.

The senator said that right now he is focusing on his legislative work and doing his best to help those who are in need.

"It's still early to say, still two years from now siguro ang priority natin ngayon ay makatulong tayo sa mga mahihirap," Revilla said.

He said that he still considers the idea of running again as a senator in 2010 but he is also open to accept things if fate will give him the chance to run as vice president.

Revilla reiterated his words that he is willing to give way if ever Batangas Governor and showbiz's Star For All Season Vilma Santos would run for the post.

"We should move as one napakaliit lang ng movie industry dapat isa lang ang mundo namin," the senator said.

Bong Revilla or Jose Marie Mortel Bautista in real life is famous for his action films during the 80s and 90s. He is the son of former senator-actor Ramon Revilla.
