MANILA, Philippines – What does the group of actor Willie Revillame plan to represent in Congress? Nothing more than itself, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said.

In a 13-page resolution sent to Rappler, the Comelec First Division denied the bid of Revillame's group, 1 Wil Serve, to run in the 2013 party-list race.

The Comelec on Monday, December 3, said 1 Wil Serve, or Wil, was among 32 groups prohibited from running after the poll body's divisions declared them ineligible. The 32 groups did not file motions for reconsideration.

Penned by First Division Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, the resolution said 1 Wil Serve “actually intends to represent” Wilfoundation Inc – “not the urban poor, elderly, women, and professionals of Regions II, III, IV, and the National Capital Region.”

“Wil failed to convince this commission that it is an entity separate and distinct from Wilfoundation Inc,” said the resolution, which was concurred in by First Division Commissioners Armando Velasco and Christian Robert Lim, and was promulgated on October 29.

Popular for his game shows that give doleouts to the poor, Revillame in April said 1 Wil Serve is an "evolution" of his foundation.

In 1 Wil Serve's constitution and by-laws, the group said it aims, among others:

• to be the arm of Wilfoundation Inc in assisting, helping, aiding, and alleviating the plight of the urban poor and the elderly, promote women's rights, and enhance the skills of professionals

• to implement the purposes and objectives of Wilfoundation Inc, and support its policies and programs that advance local-driven growth initiatives and developments of the urban poor and the elderly

The group claimed to have conducted outreach activities along with the staff and crew of Wiltime Bigtime, Revillame's game show on TV5, for several organizations. These include the Luwalhati ng Maynila Home for the Aged, White Cross Orphanage, residents of Payatas A in Quezon City, and children and wives of Armed Forces of the Philippines personnel.

But the Comelec said 1 Wil Serve "does not sufficiently demonstrate its knowledge about the needs of each and every sector of the urban poor, elderly, women, and professionals, and thus that it is capable of representing them."

The Comelec also called attention to the group's nominees, namely:
