Ronnie Ricketts in entering politics: ‘Dapat meron kang misyon’
By Cynthia Montojo
“No, no…how do you say it na walang masasagasaan, ‘di ba…nasa kanila ‘yan actually, but nakikita ko kung anong nangyayari diyan sa loob e,”Ronnie Ricketts has no plan to enter politics, citing it is pursuit that needs knowledge and understanding of duties and responsibilities.
The ‘90s action star said politics is not for him amid looming mid-term elections in May this year.
“I mean, alam ko, alam ko e… I just hope, kung gusto mong tumakbo, makatulong ka, alam mo ‘yung gagawin mo,” Ronnie said after press conference for his TV comeback “Mga Batang Riles”.
“Hindi lang dahil may pangalan kami, takbo tayo…hindi dapat ganon e… dapat meron kang misyon… kasi ‘pag pumunta ka doon tapos doon ka pa lang matututo, it’s very hard…ang hirap nu’n,” he stressed.
In recent years, many of his ‘90s action star contemporaries ran and lost in their bid for local and national positions.
Robin Padilla joined Bong Revilla, Lito Lapid and Jinggoy Estrada in senate. Philip Salvador hopes to find his place in senate when he filed his certificate of candidacy last year for this year’s mid-term elections.
For Ronnie, holding public post means putting nation’s interest and service to electorate as top concerns.
“Pero ‘pag pupunta ka lang doon para pumorma, magkaroon ng extra income or gamitin ‘yung position mo, hindi yata maganda…dapat ang priority mo ay para sa tao, ‘yung service…ako yun ‘yun e,” he said.
The action star also advised taking note of political candidate’s intentions and of company he keeps.
“‘Tingnan mo rin ‘yung character ng tao…ano ba ang ginagawa niya sa buhay niya…tingnan mo, sino barkada niya…lalabas ‘yung character…iba ‘yung campaign…ako ang pinakamabait, pinakamagaling’…but sino ‘yung other side ng tao…alamin mo ‘yun… hindi lang ‘yung binebenta ‘yung sarili,” he said.
He acknowledged that there are those who were able to deliver on their campaign promises, but there were those who were not able to. He also expressed hope that corruption will be eradicated.
Ronnie previously served as chairman and chief executive officer of Optical Media Board from 2009 to 2016. Agency is part of the Office of the President of the Philippines regulates production, use, and distribution of recording media in the country.
