Many female celebrities have left the glitz and glamor of showbizness for the world of politics. Two of them are Vilma Santos-Recto who is now on her last term as Governor of Batangas, and Lucy Torres-Gomez who currently serves as congresswoman of the fourth district of Leyte. 

 

In a chance interview with Kapuso sweetheart Louise delos Reyes, we asked her if she will ever consider running for public office. 

 

Louise said, “Ayoko magsalita ng tapos pero sa ngayon I am not seeing myself on that position kasi makakatulong ka naman kahit wala kang power. 'Tsaka ayoko isipin nila na ginagamit ko 'yung popularity para lang manalo sa kahit ano position na gugustuhin ko and 'yun nga marami rin kasing pressure at siyempre gusto ko rin magkaroon ng pamilya.”

 

The former Kambal Sirena star believes that she can help other people without seeking a position in the government. 

 

“I have my goals. Na-set ko na 'yung goals ko talaga and wala siya sa plans. Pero let's see, tingnan natin kasi 'yung nga makakapag-rule ka naman kahit wala kang power.”

 

After the successful run of her primetime series Kambal Sirena, Louise said she is enjoying her free time. But admits that she is workaholic and would rather keep herself busy. 

 

“Tulog, basa ng libro and actually I keep myself busy. Tama na sa akin 'yung isang linggo nagpahinga. Gusto ko pa rin 'yung routine ko [sa work ay] ipagpapatuloy ko.”
