‘WOWOWEE’ host Willie Revillame and the show’s production staff, crew and talents were overwhelmed with joy when they saw that the Big Dome was packed during the “Wowowee-lympics.” They were able to sell 13,000 tickets amounting to approximately P800,000, which will be given to charity.
The volleyball and basketball games were fast paced and full of surprises. Joining the Star Magic volleyball lineup were Angelica Panganiban, Kim Chiu, Nicole Uysiuseng, Nene Tamayo, Dionne Monsanto and Janna Dominguez, who battled it out against Valerie Concepcion, RR Enriquez and the ASF dancers.
In basketball, Gerald Anderson, Diether Ocampo, Zanjoe Marudo, Jason Abalos, Rayver Cruz, Rodjun Cruz and Matt Evans were strong contenders with the help of their coach, director Johnny Manahan. Playing for the “Wowowee” team were Cesar Montano, Vhong Navarro, Jhong Hilario, Gab Valenciano and ex-PBA player Alvin Patrimonio, who went up against son Angelo, a Star Magic talent.
During halftime, Pokwang gave a hilarious impersonation of Dionisia Pacquiao, while the Gigger Boys offered an upbeat dance number to the tune of the “Boys Over Flowers” theme songs.
The “Wowowee-lympics” was a huge success! Aside from bringing cheer to Filipinos, everyone who was part of the event was also able to help those in need.
