I wrote this article to showcase all the accomplishments of Willie Revillame for 5 years as Wowowee Host. All the information was based on facts and its not fabricated. I was not paid to do this but I received emails requesting to have a compilation of Willie Revillame's achievements in my site.
• Highest paid celebrities in the history. According to some report, he earn P1 million a day.
• He gave P10 million a day earning to ABS-CBN from Wowowee. Based on the reports by known writers.
• "Ikaw Na Nga" ALBUM was #1 for almost 2 years in the market.
• YES Magazine #1 Most Powerful in Showbiz in 2009.
• YES Magazines sold 360,000 copies when they featured Willie Revillame last January ’09, is the highest sales in magazines history.
• Most tabloids were sold if there was an article about him.
• Most viewed topics in the internet once there was an issue about Willie.
• Last MAY 2010 Election, he was busy campaigning for Manny Villar. But what surprised me was the number of people who gathered in his campaign sorties in different provinces. Tag as "Wowowillie meets Rockatropa" was a big success. Based on the PNP stats here is the list of provinces and corresponding number of audience. First leg was in Mall of Asia Concert Ground, a total of 70,000. Then moved to provinces: Lucena City (60,000) rain pours the whole day, Koronadal (160,000), Camarines Sur (300,000) was the biggest crowd, Cabanatuan (200,000 plus), Davao (120,000), Cagayan De Oro (150,000) at Cavite (P150,000). He is the only celebrity that can make this huge number of crowd in one event. Most of them, came here just to see Willie in person. This huge number of people was not shown in TV Patrol that is why he was irritated. And what was shown was he performed on stage along with the candidates. He think the network had other agenda.
• Wowowee in Dubai last January 2009, was a record breaking based on the number people who gathered in this event. The capacity of the area was 20,000 but the total attendees was around 22,000.
• In September 3, 2006 set another record for Willie when Wowowee shows in Thomas and Mack at Las Vegas was a big hit. It overpowered the concerts of Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake. Even the security guards was amazed by the impact it created. They thought it was a concert by Michael Jackson but they learned it was just Willie Revillame. That day, Willie was given a recognition by the Governor of Las Vegas that September 3 is Willie Revillame's Day.
• Willie Revillame and Wowowee is the primary reason why ABS-CBN able reach the "Masang Pilipino"
• Survey conducted by AYALA Group of Companies about the Filipino's abroad. They asked them on what will be there first option when they visit Philippines. The #1 in the survey is Wowowee.
• Majority of TFC subscribers' reason for subscriptions is to watch Wowowee and to see Willie Revillame. Wowowee was shown three times a day all over the world.

• Ikinuwento pa ni Ronald Carballo na lahat ng TFC subscribers sa US ay nakatutok sa programang Wowowee ni Willie Revillame. Totoo nga raw ang tsismis kung gaano katindi ang karisma ng TV host-singer sa mga Pinoy na naninirahan sa ibang bansa. Bawat makausap daw niya ay nangangarap na makita at mayakap nang personal si Willie. Talbog nga raw ang mga sikat nating artista kung ikukumpara sa kasikatang tinatamasa ngayon ni Willie. Para nga raw itong Superstar kung dakilain hangaan du’n. Hindi lang dito sa Pinas maging sa ibang bansa iniidolo siya. Maging ang mga kababayanan nating balikbayan, sa abroad palang nagpapa-schedule na sa ABS-CBN para mapanood nila si Willie sa live telecast ng Wowowee. Ang nakakaloka pa raw, huwag mong sisiraan si Willie, makakalaban mo ang mga matatandang naninirahan sa California na labis ang paghanga sa kanilang idolo. May collection sila ng mga CD at kinakanta ang mga awitin ng TV host. Package deal daw kung ialok sa mga subscriber ang TFC plus GMA Pinoy TV sa mga kababayan natin sa US at sa ibang bansa. Milya-milya nga raw ang agwat ng rating ng Wowowee compared sa Eat… Bulaga! nina Tito, Vic and Joey, ayon sa survey du’n sa US.

• Honest? Kahit KAMI rin ay nalungkot sa pagkawala ng Wowowee. Wa ek. True ‘yan. Alam n’yo kumbakit?
Iilan lang sa press people ang nakapapasok sa dressing room ni Willie. Pero ‘pag kami na ang nagsabi sa guard na bibisita kami kay Willie, itatanong na ng guard kay Willie kung papasukin kami.
At laging, “Sige po, pasok na po kayo!” ang sagot ng guard.
With matching, “Halika, kain ka muna. Ano’ng balita, Ogie Diaz?”
‘Yung mga tsikahan namin ni Willie ang mami-miss namin, dahil lahat ng mga sinabi ni Willie, kahit hindi niya kami sabihan, ay off-the-record.
