Willie shelled out the P1 million cash prize for the recently concluded Wowowee Olympics. He has new project the games with the Wowowee Team and Star Magic All-Stars take place on Saturday at the Big Dome at 3pm. A project with Johnny “Mr M” Manahan, Wowowee Olympics will be for the benefit of marginalized children featured in “Wowowee.”

Willie explained, “This game is for a good cause. Lahat ng maiipon namin na pera ay mapupunta sa Bantay Bata at Bayanijuan. Kapag nagtuloy-tuloy na ito, magtatayo kami ng Wowowee Foundation. Wala kaming makukuha dito even a single cent. Pati mga celebrity guests wala silang bayad. And syempre it’s about time na magsama-sama ang mga artista.”

The Star Magic Team is composed of hunk celebrities namely Diether Ocampo, Gerald Anderson, Zanjoe Marudo, Rayver Cruz, Jason Abalos, Carlo Guevarra, Xian Lim, Angelo Patrimonio and PFF ex-Participantes, Jose Sarasola, RJ Calipus and Ram Sagad, led by Mr. M as their coach.

On the Wowowee Team, the group is spiced by Cesar Montano, John Estrada, Vhong Navarro, Derek Ramsay and Gab Valenciano. “Maganda yung mga ganitong activities for us, we develop bonding, teamwork and camaraderie. And of course, hindi naman dapat kami puro work, we also have time to enjoy through sports,” added Derek.

The Star Magic team members also stressed that Gerald Anderson will be their key player. “Wag kayong mag-alala, mas guwapo tayo sa mga yan,” Willie jokingly shouted to his team as they had their play-off practice. The host also joined them and is considered to be their team’s key player.

The Wowowee staff showed their all out support as they watched and cheered for the stars during the practice. Also present were the Wowowee girls Saicy Aguila and RR Enriquez as well as director Bobot Mortiz. Ex-PBA player, Alvin Patrimonio was also there to watch the practice.
