An emotional Willie Revillame jumpstarted his TV5 comeback by revealing his new show “Wil to Win,” bidding farewell to his previous program “Wowowin.”

The TV host made the announcement during a surprise Facebook livestream on Friday, June 14, highlighting the rebranding of his social media pages as part of his exciting partnership with MQuest Ventures Inc.

During the livestream, Revillame showed a video compilation of his journey with “Wowowin” which moved him to tears.

“Salamat, Wowowin,” he said with his breaking voice. “For almost seven years, araw-araw ko kayong kasama sa GMA. Maraming pagsubok, maraming nangyari; may luha ng kaligayahan, may luha ng hinagpis na araw-araw kong nararamdaman.”

“Sorry, naging emosyonal ako kasi mawawala na ho kasi si ‘Wowowin.’ Magpapaalam na po ang programang ‘Wowowin,'” he added.

The TV host then teased the upcoming “Wil to Win” segments which primarily aim to help its viewers by giving away cash prizes. He also revealed that the show is set to give away a brand-new car on their first episode—the date of which has yet to be revealed.

“Hindi po lumalaos ang programang tumutulong sa ating mga kababayan,” he stressed.

In a separate statement, Revillame shared that his new show’s title aims to deliver the message: “Pag may Wil to Win, lahat kayang gawin!”

Prior to airing its first episode, Revillame is set to hold on June 20 the “Grand WINference” where he will entertain questions from fans and the media, for them to gain insights into what the show will offer.

Revillame first worked with TV5 in 2010 until 2013. He returned to the Kapatid network and signed a contract with Media Quest Ventures last April.
