Camille Villar has no plans of entering politics just yet

MANILA, Philippines — No amount of teasing can sway the loyalty of “Wil Time Bigtime” co-host Camille Villar from the show.

“Sa ngayon ay dun lang po muna ako sa ‘Wil Time Bigtime’ nakatutok and that’s where I want to be,” Camille said in a recent interview when asked if she’ll accept offers from other networks or if she plans to try out acting or dancing or even singing.

She explains that her stint on the show gives her the chance to be of more service to the public the way her family has been doing whether through politics or other ways and for many years now. Camille, herself, for now, isn’t even thinking of entering politics, saying that having two public servants in the family [her father, Senator Manny Villar; and brother, Las Pinas City Congressman Mark Villar] is more than enough.

“Besides, you don’t need to go into politics to help people,” quipped she who manages one of her family’s businesses in the morning before heading to TV5 studios for “Wil Time Bigtime” in the afternoon.

Asked about her experience in hosting the show so far, Camille said that she has been learning a lot from Willie Revillame who always reminds her to “just be yourself and have fun.” She admits getting butterflies in the stomach just before she steps before the cameras but these fade away the moment she sees how accepting her co-hosts and the audience are of her.

“You just really have to love what you’re doing and the rest will follow,” she said, smiling.

Camille denied rumors that Willie is courting her. She points out that he has been a family friend for the longest time and that his innate kindness towards his female co-hosts often leads people to think that he is making his moves on them.

“Wala po talagang ganung [romantic] angle,” she said.

And while some have a negative impression of Willie, Camille would rather point out his good points.

“Willie is very hard working and he knows what he’s doing. He is into every detail of the show that’s why it’s but right to say that he has earned whatever success he enjoys.”

Camille added: “I also admire his energy. Napakataas lagi na para bang di siya napapagod sa ginagawa niya.”

How does her hosting style differ from Shalani Soledad’s?

“Medyo pareho nga kami in some ways dahil we got into this for the same reason and that is to help people and not make a career out of it.

“At lagi pong nakaalalay sa akin si Shalani as with the other hosts so di malayo na may mapick-up ako sa style nila. They are all very nice to me,” Camille said.
