Speculation is growing regarding a potential political alliance between television host Willie Revillame and veteran broadcaster Ben Tulfo for the two highest local posts in Quezon City in the upcoming 2028 elections.
The rumors surfaced following the circulation of campaign posters featuring a “Revillame-Tulfo” tandem, with Revillame reportedly eyed for the mayoral seat and Tulfo for vice mayor. To date, neither camp has issued an official statement regarding the matter.
If the pairing materializes, Revillame could face a crowded mayoral race against incumbent Quezon City Vice Mayor Gian Sotto and former 6th District Representative Kit Belmonte. Representative Belmonte is the cousin of outgoing Mayor Joy Belmonte, who is serving her final term and is widely rumored to seek a Senate seat.
Meanwhile, Tulfo could potentially compete against other prominent figures for the vice mayoral post, including 1st District Representative Arjo Atayde and 5th District Councilor Aiko Melendez.
Both Revillame and Tulfo previously mounted unsuccessful bids for the Senate during the 2025 midterm elections. Tulfo finished in 13th place—falling just over one million votes short of Senator Imee Marcos, who secured the final spot in the “Magic 12″—while Revillame landed in 22nd place.
