Willie Revillame cancels birthday celebration to go live on Wowowin and help Taal victims

Willie Revillame was supposed to celebrate his birthday next Monday, January 27 but instead he decided to go live on Wowowin to help those who were affected by the Taal eruption.

"Dapat birthday ko 'yon celebration magbibigay akong dalwang house and lot sa loob ng studio, outside ng studio which ginamit namin ang YouTube para mag-greetings, kung sino 'yong babati tatawagan ko para mabigyan ko ng house and lot," Kuya Wil narrated his initial plan.

"Pero nung pag gising ko nung nakikita ko na sa news sa 24 Oras bakit ako magce-celebrate ng maraming akong kababayan na naghihirap," he continued.

"So sa January 27 po live ang Wowowin at gagawa ho kami ng paraan para makabigay ng tulong sa ating mga kababayan."

Willie said he personally talked to government officials of Batangas, Cavite and Tagaytay including Congresswoman Vilma Santos, Congressman Bambol Tolentino and Tagaytay City Mayor Agnes Tolentino to ask for their support.

"Sabi ko may bibigay kaming tulong sa ating kababayan at siyempre kasama rin dito ang GMA Foundation," he said.

Gerphil Flores, Marcelito Pomoy and Rachelle Ann Go will be among those who will perform on Wowowin's live on Monday.

Kuya Wil said in times of disasters and calamities, Filipinos should help each other stand up again.

"Alam mo ang buhay natin ay may kalamidad eh, may bagyo, may lindol may ganito, ang importante marunong kang tumayo, ang importante magtulong tulong tayo. 'Eto 'yong right time na magtulong tulong kasi marami tayong kababayan na hirap." —MGP, GMA News
