In a phone conversation, Annabelle, who is currently in her native Cebu said her family is divided on the issue. Daughter Ruffa Gutierrez told Annabelle she is against it since “magulo ang pulitika.”
“Pero bago pa naman ako mag-artista, magulo na. Magulo din ang showbiz para sa akin,” Annabelle reacts.
She is also willing to take up a course related to public office if she decides to run.
“Pwede namang mag-aral. Maraming successful politicians diyan na hindi naman nakatapos.”
Annabelle admits she’s excited. But she needs her family’s support.
“Matagal pa naman ang October (the Comelec deadline for filing for candicacy),” she explains.
She relates that her cousin, Michael Rama of Cebu called her up two days ago and asked her if she wants to run for Congress.
Annabelle’s reply was to ask him and her brother to make a survey on whether the Cebuanos really want her to run for Congress.
Annabelle flew to Cebu, to register as a voter a few days ago. She is still there as of posting time.
“Meanwhile, her son, Raymond Gutierrez expressed his support on Twitter.
“It's still a long way to go & nothing's sure but family comes first. So whatever she decides to do, I will support her,” he tweeted.
