ACTOR Richard Gomez wants to be senator, Senator Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada said in a press conference Tuesday.
“He went to our house yesterday [Monday] and asked for advice,” Estrada said. “My father advised him to think about his plan to run for the Senate for two weeks. He is aspiring to be a senator. He says [his name] has a national recall.”
Gomez was initially reported to have been eyeing the Bulacan gubernatorial seat.
Asked if Gomez would get a slot in the opposition ticket that his father, former president Joseph Estrada, was putting up, the senator said, “It all depends on his decision. [If he decides to run for the Senate], we might try to squeeze him in.”
Naku tumataas ang pangarap ni Goma, ah! Dati Gov. lang ang gusto nya, ngayon SENADOR na? Kaya pala kasama sya sa New Year's "furlough" ni Erap sa Greenhills.
I truly hope the voters will vote responsibly this year. Or else, we will end up having an "all-star" cast in the senate and possibly even in the lower house.
Ang kapal din nitong gomang ito! kaya umatras siya sa pagtakbo sa bulacan ay alam niya na hindi siya mananalo dun. Ang alam lang nitong si goma ay magyabang!
