Wowowee Sponsors 30 OFW Dubai Runaways

Wowowee sponsors repatriation of 30 Dubai OFWs

After the resounding success of the "Wowowee" concert in Dubai, the Philippines' most popular noontime TV show continues to help less fortunate kababayans after agreeing to pay for the return tickets of 30 overseas Filipino workers who ran away from their employers in Dubai.

"Wowowee" host Willie Revillame made the announcement after meeting with 69 runaways in a surprise visit at the Philippine Labor Office in Dubai.

After the meeting, he said the show will shell out P450,000 to sponsor plane tickets of 30 runaways already due for repatriation.

Revillame said seeing the happiness of those runaways made him more inspired to continue what he is doing.

ABS CBN management led by Charo Santos Concio and Raffy Lopez said the success of Wowowee in Dubai was made more meaningful with their few moments with the runaways.
