Ground Breaking of the Giant Complex of Willie Revillame

Willie Revillame

Kapamilya noontime show host Willie Revillame was very excited about his new project: a studio mall complex named Wil Theater Mall which will rise on a 3,000-sq.m. lot beside the ABS-CBN compound. The May 13 groundbreaking ceremony was attended by ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio, Channel 2 Head Cory Vidanes, Head for TV Productions Linggit Tan, and Wowowee directors Johnny Manahan, and Edgar Mortiz.

Through his Wil Theater Mall, the TV host also aims to continue his efforts of helping the less fortunate to find decent means of livelihood. Putting up a new studio for Wowowee is Willie’s way of thanking the millions of people who continue to make the show a success and who painstakingly fall in line everyday to be in the audience.

The Wil Theater Mall, a 12-story building expected to be completed in the 12 to 16 months, is said to be worth 500 to 600 million pesos. While it’s well known that Willie has multi-million peso homes and luxurious possessions, he maintains that everything wouldn’t have been possible without the support of God and the people.

Willie added that aside from helping the poor, the primary reason he is making all these investments is to secure the future of his children. However, Willie did not earn this success overnight. This comedian has suffered several setbacks in his 20-year career like controversies, suspensions, and unemployment. But Willie is just thankful that he was able to survive all those challenges because of hard work.

With all these blessings, Willie’s public service doesn’t stop at Wil Theater Mall. He further talked about his plans of putting up a school for street children.
