This marked Willie's first public appearance since his leave from Wowowee, his regular noontime entertainment and game show in ABS-CBN, last August 10.
In his first public appearance, Willie was welcomed by a Davao stadium jampacked with thousands of people who sang and danced to his medley of songs, including the commercially famous "Giling Giling" and the plaintively famous "Ikaw Na Nga," despite a downpour that left no one dry. Giving support to the main man were the ASF (Ana S. Feliciano) dancers, from whose stable Wowowee's regular performers come; Chokoleit, a stand-up comic who has recently become visible on the ABS-CBN noontime show; and Vice Ganda, a talented gay comic who, like Chokoleit, can deliver spiels as well as sing.
The show, which began at 7:30 p.m., would have gone on for hours despite the rains, according to Kathy Solis of ABS-CBN, but one big power outage finally knocked dead the microphones, sound systems, and all their other equipment. By then, with only one major medley, a few dances, and no games as yet played, there was no choice but to end the show at 9:15 p.m. Wowowillie, which had been announced to start at 7 p.m., had people lining up as early as 8 a.m., Kathy added.
According to Kathyâ€â€Âwho prefaced that the count was "conservative"â€â€Âthe Philippine National Police put the evening's crowd at 120,000. She also said that the Tionko Field Stadium made the organizers understand that Willie's appearance last night drew in the biggest crowd to the venue to date. The second largest is said to be the Iglesia Ni Kristo gathering middle of this year, which drew in 90,000 people.Before wrapping up the show, Willie, who was himself drenched, went onstage to thank the crowd with visible tears in his eyes.
After the crowd had dispersed, Kathy said their ABS-CBN crew saw an elderly woman soaking in the rain and gave her a lift in their van. The old woman said her name was Labiana Eredania and that she was 71 years old. She was protected from the rains only by a Wowowee jacket that Willie had distributed earlier among the older folk in the audience.
Aling Labiana had traveled by herself from Sandawa, Davao, without informing her children, who, she said, would surely have objected to her making the trip, at her age, to a crowded stadium far from home. Asked why she came even without company anyway, she told Kathy that she just had to see Willie. Again asked why, she answered that it was because Willie treated old people like her special. "Priority niya kaming matatanda," Kathy quoted the old woman as saying.
