Willie Revillame and Edu Manzano can both land a seat in the senate if elections were held today. That's what was revealed in the latest opinion poll conducted by Pulse Asia recently.
Although Willie and Edu have not indicated their intention to run for a public position come 2010 elections, they have a very strong chance landing to the senate. This is due to the popularity of their respective TV programs which depicts the two hosts as pro-masses.
Willie is the host of the popular noontime show "Wowowee" and Edu is the host of "Game Ka Na Ba", both in ABS-CBN network.
Another ABS-CBN personality who is likely to become senator is broadcaster Korina Sanchez. Korina however, just like the two mentioned above, didn't show any interest in joining any political race. Joked some friends; "Maybe she's just contented to be the First Lady of the Phillippines if Mar Roxas wins the presidency".
Incumbent senators, Jinggoy Estrada and Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr., who are both actors, are also assured of re-election. Jinggoy can even land to the no.1 spot while Bong would land to the 5th to 11th slot.
Vicente "Tito" Sotto, another actor and currently Dangerous Drugs Board chairman and himself a former two-term senator, also has a high chance of winning.
Respondents were presented 65 names and the question:
"Kung ang nasabing halalan sa 2010 ay isasagawa ngayon, sinu-sino sa mga sumusunod na personalidad ang inyong iboboto kung sakaling sila ay kakandidato sa pagka-senador? Puwede kayong pumili ng hanggang 12 pangalan."
Showbiz invasion in the senate? Willie can bring Luningning and Milagring in the senate halls and it be real fan.
