MANILA – An estimated 150,000 people on Sunday flocked to Cagayan de Oro to watch Willie Revillame as he hosted a show sponsored by Sen. Manuel Villar Jr. in the city.
A report said people from neighboring provinces even traveled all the way to Cagayan de Oro just to see the controversial host. The crowd reportedly cheered as Revillame appeared on stage.
Some went wild while others fainted when the host began distributing money to the audience, the report added.
The Cagayan de Oro show was Revillame’s second public appearance since he went on an indefinite leave early this month. Last week, Revillame also hosted a Villar-sponsored concert at Agro Football Field in Davao City.
Revillame, who drew the ire of many after he ordered the removal of former president Corazon Aquino’s funeral procession from his program, is expected to go back to “Wowowee” on September 21.
