Wowowee Man Willie Revillame
Wilfredo Buendia Revillame or known as Willie Revillame is a Filipino actor, show host, singer, and comedian which hailed as the “highest-paid” and “most bankable” star in the Philippines today. He was born on January 27, 1961 and has his biggest break in Philippine Television when he started hosting the no. 1 rated noon time show “Wowowee”. Willie is a son of Myrna Buendia and Engineer Onorio Revillame. His mother was a 15-year-old food server while his father was an engineer when they met. They separated and Willie grew up with his mother. He was married to actress Princess Punzalan, his first wife and then to Liz Almoro his second wife, who was formerly a beauty queen.
During his early career, Willie lived as a professional drummer until he met his mentor, entertainer Randy Santiago, through a high school play known as “Tikboy: Alyas boy Dragon”, where he starred as the main actor “Tikboy”. Before that, Willie provided drum beats to Philippines Master Rapper ‘Francis Magalona’ during the rap explosion in the Philippines. In 1986, Santiago discovered Revillame while Revillame performed in the play and would then hire Revillame as his sidekick in the now-defunct GMA Network noontime show Lunch Date. Revillame stayed for three months on the show and was signed up by Regal Films to star alongside Joey Marquez in the movie Bobocop, a spoof of the hit Hollywood movie Robocop.
Since then, Revillame has been cast in movies as sidekick to other known movie personalities such as Philip Salvador, Rudy Fernandez, Edu Manzano, Cesar Montano, Aga Muhlach, and etc. In 1998, Willie became one of the co-hosts in Magandang Tanghali Bayan (MTB) together with best friends’ Randy Santiago and John Estrada. After he was fired from the said show, Willie went on a sabbatical to the United States for a couple of months. He was contemplating on retiring from showbiz and lives a quiet life there. But his plans change after getting a positive reaction from the Filipino-Americans who mingled with him during his stay.
Aside from being the top leading noon time host in Wowowee, Willie has also enjoys singing. In fact, he had made several albums already and his first album was produced by rapper Andrew E. The album, “Parental Guidance”, reached platinum status, but did not enjoy immense airplay at some radio stations because some songs in the album like “Ang Cute ng Pokémon” (“What a Cute Pokémon”) and “‘Wag Mong Pigilan” (“Don’t Stop”) had double-meaning lyrics. Willie is currently building his first real estate business Wil Theater Mall and will soon rise near ABS-CBN Eugenio Lopez Drive in Quezon City, Philippines.
