Kapuso noontime show host Willie Revillame inked a record deal with GMA Records last Friday, September 4, at the GMA Network Center.
Present in the contract signing were GMA Records Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Records Managing Director Rene A. Salta, album producer and award-winning composer Vehnee Saturno.
Willie feels grateful for this opportunity to share his music with his supporters all over the world. “Matagal na ito eh,almost two years ago noong gumawa kami ng mga songs at nakatago lang. Hinihintay lang namin ang tamang panahon. Now, it’s the right time at ito na nga ang tamang panahon sa GMA Records. Right time, right songs, with the right people. Ire-release na po ito malapit na, ang carrier single ay Nando'n Ako.”
The Kapuso host reveals that the carrier single is about how love conquers all, “It’s a beautiful song para sa mga nakahiwalay sa mga mahal niya sa buhay pero ang spirit nito, lahat ng pagmamahal ay nandoon. Kahit anong mangyari, kahit may unos o bagyo, nandoon siya.” He will be singing the song on Wowowin this Sunday. Willie says this is one way of showing his gratitude towards the people who continue to support him and his program which consistently wins over competition in nationwide ratings.
From August 9 to 30 (with the date of August 30 based on overnight data), Wowowin marked an average household TV rating of 18.0% and ruled over its counterpart programs ASAP 20 and Kapamilya Mega Blockbusters, which both garnered 14% in National Urban TV Audience Measurement (NUTAM) ratings. This is according to the more widely recognized TV ratings supplier, Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
Moreover, the undisputed program Wowowin was also consistently ahead of its competitors in the viewer-rich areas of Mega Manila and Urban Luzon.
