Wowowin changes the game

- ANGEL JAVIER CRUZ

Your favorite afternoon variety show just got a makeover! And it’s beyond anyone’s expectatio­ns.

Wowowin, hosted by no less than well-loved Kapuso TV host Willie Revillame, took entertainm­ent to a whole new level to cater to a bigger audience and create an unforgetta­ble experience for its viewers.

With state-ofthe-art equipment surroundin­g the German Moreno Studio of GMA Network, it’s nothing the televiewer­s, even the hosts themselves, have seen before. From the LED screens to the robotic cameras, and modern lights, it definitely serves as an early Christmas gift for the program’s avid fans and supporters all around the world.

“High-tech ang lahat ng idinagdag namin dito. Hindi kami nagbibiro kung sabihin naming mula taas hanggang baba ay nagkaroon ng renovation dahil pati ang floors namin ay naka-LED na rin. We also have new lights and cameras,” he said.

The renovation took a good one-month to complete. Willie was hands-on all throughout the process and he believes that their new set may come close to that of internatio­nal stages, “Every day, we see many people lining up and hoping for a chance to watch our program. Of course, we want to make more people happy. Sa tulong ng mas maganda at mas pinalaki pang studio, daandaang audience ang puwedeng mapasaya at mabigyan ng mga papremyo sa Wowowin.”

The show, which airs Mondays to Fridays before 24 Oras, has more to offer other than its brand-new and world-class set.

Last Sept. 30 during the new studio reveal, Willie launched his two freshlyrec­orded songs. Given his signature charisma on stage, the people were delighted as they groove to every lyric.

“Here in Wowowin, gusto natin laging mayroong bagong aabangan ang mga tao.

Nandyan ang mga bago kong kantang inilabas, ang ‘Sige Lang, Sige Lang’ at ‘Shake It’ na tiyak magpapasay­aw lalo sa studio audience.

In new segments naman, ibang saya rin ang

dala ng ‘Back-Karera.’ Ibinalik din namin

ang ‘InstaJam’ na mini concert ang hatid na experience to showcase the world-class singing talent of Pinoys,” he shared.

Wowowin has also re-introduced familiar faces to join its family as Sugar Mercado and Donita Nose were warmly welcomed back, joining Herlene Budol a.k.a. “Hipon Girl,” Elaine Timbol and Almira Teng.

The well-loved host reaffirmed his commitment to bring quality entertainm­ent and happiness to Filipinos worldwide,

“Halos araw-araw ako nandito sa studio and talagang nagmamasid ako habang ginagawa ito. I really want to make sure that only the best ang ibibigay ng Wowowin sa ating mga Kapuso. Sa loob ng isang buwan, tinrabaho po namin lahat ito para sa ikasasaya ng manonood at mabigyan sila ng mas magandang programa na mapapanood sa GMA.” The man who green-lighted the renovation only wanted nothing but the best for all the loyal viewers who make Wowowin part of their everyday habit.

“Marami nang napagdaana­n ang Wowowin pero hanggang mayroong nangangara­p, mananatili tayong nandito para sa mga kababayan nating Pilipino. Kaya ang ginawa kong bida rito ay yung mga tao, hindi naman ako o yung co-hosts ko. Kami lang ang nagpapatak­bo ng show, pero sila talaga ang dahilan, ang ating mga Kapuso, ang tunay na nagdadala ng programa.”
