Based on an article on Pep, he has given his reaction to the said criticism and appealed to the people not to bash political aspirants like him.

“Hindi naman kailangan meron kang alam, e. Minsan nga mas maganda pa kung wala kang alam basta busilak ang puso mo sa pagtulong,” Willie said during his conversation with Deo Macalma in a DZRH program.

According to Kuya Wil, what he knows is that he wants to uplift the lives of his fellow Filipinos to the best of his capability. He stressed that there are a lot of politicians who make promises during campaign periods and asked if these politicians fulfill their promises.

“Ako, gagawin ko yan. Hindi ko na kailangan ng pera, hindi ako magnanakaw,” he said.

Willie Revillame stressed that he is not appearing clean and he also has mistakes. Meanwhile, he takes his senatorial bid as the chance to do things for the benefit of his fellow Filipinos.
