“Kung tutulong kayo, ngayon na!”

These were the words of presidential aspirant, Senator Manny Villar, during his visit at the Wowowee  last July 25, together with his daughter. Picking up from the senator’s cue, the show’s host Willie Revillame put him on the spot by saying, “Kaya nyo bang bigyan itong anim na ito nang house and lot ngayon?”

Revillame was referring to the show’s six contestants who were OFW and had to leave their families and work in other countries to provide for families.

To this, the senator replied “Yes” and tears from the contestants, as well as the audience began to fall.

I am not sure about the sincerity of gesture, knowing that sometimes the show loves to play on human emotions and do scripted spiels. Nor are we sure that the six contestants really received their house and lot as Villar said. Although, we all know that he is very much capable of doing that, being in the real property development business himself.

I would love to hear any news or follow-up on the contestants if they are indeed, at present, comfortably living in their very own houses.

But I do like Senator Villar’s statement, “Kung tutulong kayo, ngayon na!” (If you’re going to help, help now!) Which is what should really be done.

Instead of delivering promises on how they would help improve the lives of Filipinos once they get elected, presidential aspirants should do what they can do now to help alleviate the condition of some of our countrymen.

That instead of shaking the hands of voters, they should just instead deliver assistance to those who need it. That instead of spending lots of money on printing of posters and other election paraphernalia, used the money instead to help other people.

Help now, and let the people decide based on actions, instead of words.

Here’s the video of Villar’s appearance on Wowowee.

I am not sure if this is how the rumors that Willie Revillame is Villar’s running mate in the coming elections started, but I sure am glad it isn’t true.
