Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha revealed how Willie Revillame gave her shelter during the crisis that happened in 2020.
In an interview with Pep.ph, Lani said that she and her family stayed at Willie’s home for three months.
She praised Willie’s generosity, who’s also one of the richest celebrities in the country.
“Three months kaming nag-stay sa bahay niya. Nakakatuwa yang tao na yan. He’s very generous and caring,” Lani said.
According to Willie, he’s really a close friend to Lani and her husband Noli.
The television host narrated that he met the singer for the first time during a concert in Las Vegas.
“Ipinagmamalaki ng mga Pilipino sa buong mundo. Napanood namin sa Las Vegas ito, hindi ko kilala. Sabi ko, sino ‘yan? Pinay ba ‘yan?” he recalled.
Aside from Lani, many celebrities also received help from Willie, including Kris Aquino, who also lived at the resort of the television host at Puerto Galera.
However, the host became controversial among his peers after he reminded some of the people he helped about ‘utang na loob.’
One of the celebrities who was reportedly reminded by Willie was Gab Valenciano, who allegedly took a swipe against the host.
“Nag-Ingles-Ingles ka pa! Naging kasama ka namin sa production. Kapag pumapasok ka, di ba natutulog ka? Papasok ka sa dressing room ko, ‘Kuya Wils, I cannot do this. You know, I feel so dizzy.’ May mga ganoon-ganoon ka pa sa akin.”
“Baka nakakalimutan mo, ikinasal ka sa Tagaytay? Sa akin natulog ang nanay at tatay mo, sa bahay ko sa Tagaytay. Ang galing-galing mong sumayaw, malapit ka sa Diyos, ang pamilya mo. Nagko-comment ka ngayon. O ano, baka nakalimutan mo, kinupkop ko kayo nung kakasalin ka sa Tagaytay. Napahiwalay ka.
“Hindi ko ito isinusumbat. Yan ang gusto niyo, malaman ng mga tao yung totoo. Huwag kayong ganyan! Tumingin kayo sa pinanggalingan… Tumingin kayo sa inutangan nyo ng utang na loob dahil ako, marunong ako [tumanaw] ng utang na loob.” Revillame said.
