The veteran TV host-producer is set to return to screens soon.
In a report published by PEP, it was revealed that Willie Revillame will be making his television comeback soon, seven months after he ran and lost his Senatorial bid in the 2025 national elections held last May.
The 64-year-old personality is set to ink a new contract with Mediaquest Holdings owned by telecoms mogul Manny Pangilinan, which has the free-to-air station TV5 and pay television provider Cignal TV under its umbrella.
As part of the new deal, Revillame will be hosting and producing his new game show, which has been teased online with the title Wilyonaryo.
The said program replaces his previous program, Wil To Win, which aired on TV5 from July 2024 until May 2025.
In fact, the Wilyonaryo set was visited by Mediaquest President and CEO Jane Basas and Cignal’s First Vice President Sienna Olaso earlier this month, confirming the host’s impending TV comeback.
In addition to that, it has been reported that Revillame will also have his own station on Cignal, purportedly named Wil TV.
It will air the new game show’s segment Lucky Pick—which has obtained license from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
While the contract is to be sealed on Friday, the launch of the Wilyonaryo and the pay TV channel have not yet been announced.
Prior to the start of the election period, Revillame, Pangilinan, and their other partners came together for the new MVP Quest building, which is effectively an extension wing of the TV5 Media Center in Mandaluyong.
The building, which will have 10 storeys, will have multiple studios, including one for Willie’s program and another for the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga.
The same PEP report said that the TV host-producer personally inspected the progress of works on Thursday.
Although the partial completion, which was originally set to happen later this year, has not yet been disclosed.
