On Willie.

We had a family dinner last night in Conti's BF when we saw a showbiz mag having Willie Revillame as a cover. Allegedly, he is going out with the daughter of a popular buena de familia, Rachel Arenas, daughter of Baby Arenas.

This blog is not actually about the biz, its actually how willie is such a lucky individual.

I heard its a rag to riches story. Willie was a former poor boy when the Aquinos strike luck on him. Ow, the luck all right. He was married three times I think, one is with the sister of Maricel Soriano, who I happened to meet sometime last year. Mikee Soriano is my client, he buys his clothes from me for his boutique in Metrowalk, where he had a daughter, Merryl. His second wife, is also a part of a buena familia, Princess Punzalan, and his last wife, a model.

Its cool how Willie becomes some sort of Oprah of the Philippines. Most of his endorsements becomes top of the line consumer products, his TV show, Wowowie is a household name, and even a 3 years old kid, knows the theme song of the show and dances with its tune.

I will never know what his secret is, nor will you. I think he has a sort of anting-anting that makes everything he says come to life.

Our discussion over dinner was, Willie vs. Oprah, Willie vs. Sy, Tan and Ayala and Willie vs. Pacquiao. And so as we heard, Willie purchased a 70 million worth of a yacht wherein he pays for its parking in the club worth Php 100,000 per month. Executives of big companies roughly earn this price, and the glory of without thinking much, he has a yacht worth 70 million.

You see, unlike business tycoons; Sy, Tan and the Ayalas, I'm sure at some point of their business life they have exerted much brain power to get where they are right now. Being a business tycoon is no joke, you have to really exert too much effort to get to the top. Willie on the other hand, though I am pretty sure exerted some effort on getting where he is, roughly exerted equal effort as much as the business tycoons.

Even Pacquiao, who is now enjoying millions of dollars, and is a world-renowned boxer have put his health and life at risk on his sport. I quote, "Bago naman magkapera si Pacquiao kelangan magpasuntok muna sha." On this note, compared to the effort exerted of Willie, Pacquiao would need to undergo so much physical pain just to obtain millions.

Similarly, Willie and Oprah are the most influential people I know on this business. My brother calls her, "Saint Oprah" as anything you do and say against her will aggravate America. These are the 2 people I think who has destiny in favor of them and money written on their palms.

The end of the dinner discussion was, unlike others who have exerted much to get where they are right now, these people need not much to be them. Willie for instance, though I am pretty sure, to get where he is right now, has worked hard for it whereas the others who have worked hard all their lives, cannot buy even a residential home worth a million.

I dont know, some people were just born lucky, or some are there luckily on the right place at the right time.

I wish I will be. Taya kaya ako sa lotto? =D
