IN PHOTOS: Meet Willie Revillame's grandson Elijah Palanca
Elijah Palanca is now a young man but he will never outgrow his affection for his family.
Elijah, who turned 14 years old on August 27, 2021, is one of the grandchildren of 'Wowowin' host Willie Revillame. He is the son of Willie's daughter, actress Meryll Soriano, with her ex-husband Bernard Palanca.
Elijah, whom Meryll fondly calls Eli or Booboo, mostly grew up in his mother's care, and he is turning out to be a fine gentleman.
Aside from being a loving son, Elijah also became a loving brother when Meryll gave birth to her son with rekindled flame Joem Bascon.
