Willie Revillame cries on 'Wowowin,' tells audience: 'Miss ko na kayo'

Willie Revillame got emotional while taping an episode of “Wowowin” on Wednesday.

The Kapuso gameshow host, who celebrated his 60th birthday on January 27, dedicated his song "Salamat sa Inyo" to everyone who has been supporting him throughout the years.

Willie also dedicated a heartfelt message to his audience after his performance, during which he was unable to hold back his tears.

“Nami-miss ko na kayo. Nami-miss ko 'yung sigaw niyo. Sana matapos na itong problema natin para maibalik na natin 'yung dati,” the host said.

"Pasensiya na kayo, nami-miss ko na 'yung matatanda, mga nanay, lola, mga special na mga bata, sa mga naka-wheelchair, bumubulong, pambili ng gamot, pambayad ng matrikula… nami-miss ko kayo sobra,” he added.

"Wowowin" has been filming the show without a live studio audience since March last year in accordance with health protocols aimed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

For his 60th birthday, Kuya Will said his only wish was for the pandemic to be over so they could go back to bringing joy to audiences like before.

"Sana makabalik na kami sa studio, makasama na namin kayo ulit. Kayo ang nagdala sa akin dito, gusto kong ibalik sa inyo lahat," Willie said.

"Sana, Lord, matapos na itong pandama para makabalik na kami at makapagpasaya araw-araw," he added. "Salamat sa nagtiwala, salamat sa inyong lahat." —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
