Willie Revillame pledges another P5 million for the poor

-

Kapuso game show host Willie Revillame promised to give another P5 million in September to help the poor Filipinos during the pandemic.



Revillame made the announcement during the live broadcast of his program “Wowowin-Tutok to Win” over GMA 7 on Monday, August 10.



This is the second time that the popular TV host would shell out P5 million out of his personal savings. Two days ago, Revillame gave P5 million to jeepney drivers unable to ply their routes due to social distancing measures.



Revillame slammed critics who claimed that his act of donating money was just a show.


“Alam ninyo hindi ko na talaga maintindihan minsan. Iba ang dating sa iba nitong ginagawa ko. Hindi po ako nang-hijack. Ang alam kong hijack iyong nang-hostage. Kung may kabutihan na nagagawa ang pang-hijack, e di mang hijack na lang tayo araw-araw,” he said.




Revillame said he feels blessed because he still has a top-rating program and sponsors still trust his program. He did not specify what organization would benefit from the second P5 million donation.



“Yung unang donation na P5 million, ibibigay ko iyon sa mga presidente ng jeepney drivers,” he said.



Revillame initially wanted to give the P5 million donation to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque and coursed it to the jeepney drivers. But Roque refused to accept it and suggested to him to hand the donation to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).



Revillame mentioned PISTON or Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator and FEJODAP or Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines as beneficiaries of the first P5 million donation.



PISTON is an alliance of jeepney, bus, tricycle and taxi operators and drivers while FEJODAP is an alliance of jeepney, bus, tricycle and taxi operators and drivers. – Robert Requintina

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
