She was initially against her mother’s plan to run for public office. But now, Ruffa Gutierrez is “all out” in supporting her mom, Annabelle Rama’s congressional bid in the 2013 elections.
During the tree planting activity of the “Enchanted Garden”cast at the Roosevelt Park in Dinalupihan, Bataan on Monday, October 8, the actress told members of the press that she’s afraid politics will make her mom’s life more complicated—but she’s “really decided to run.”
“Hindi siya nakikinig sa amin and she really wants to help her kababayan in Cebu. Kaming mga anak niya, we decided to support her all the way,” she explained. “Kumbaga, all out support na kami.”
Ruffa said she doesn’t find it strange her mother is running for public office. “A lot of people don’t know that my mom comes from a political family in Cebu,” she shared.
The Kapatid star further said: “Even if she is a talent manager here in showbiz, her roots really come from that, being in politics.”
“This is the time for her to be serious, this is the time for her to focus on that and help her kababayans in Cebu,” she added.
Blessing in disguise
More than that, Ruffa believes her mother is suited for Congress because she has “the heart” for it.
“For me, I should say the Cebuanos should vote for her because number one, she’s not a liar, she’s not corrupt. In terms of making laws for the government and being in Congress, I think it will be quite amusing to watch my mom there because I know she’ll really have a different presence,” Ruffa said, adding that Annabelle is already studying what to do in case she gets elected.
But isn’t she scared Annabelle will get more flak online because of her entry in politics?

Ruffa said it’s actually better now that her mother is busy preparing for her campaign because “she has no time to even read tweets.”
She added, “I think God is showing her this direction so it would veer her away from all the non-sense intrigas she’s been into lately.” (yahoo)
