Robin Padilla’s introduction to top-rating noontime show Wowowee last Saturday as special host not only stirred up the interest of the televiewers at home but, evidently, the online communities as well.

Robin and Wowowee made it in the Twitter trending topics worldwide! Robin Padilla landed in top 5 while Wowowee is on top 10.

Truly worth buzzing about, Robin quickly gained a warm applause from the audience upon sharing a touching opening message. ““Ang Wowowee ay inspirasyon sa lahat ng mga Pilipino. Sapagkat sa dinami-dami ng mga pagsubok na pinagdaanan nito, nananatili itong nakatayo at may tikas na tindig,” Robin said.

“Alam naman po nating lahat na ang Wowowee ay para sa inyo. Ang kaligayahan ninyo ang importante. Hindi po ang kaligayahan namin. Mahal na mahal po naming kayong lahat,” he added.

On his first day, “Idol Robinhood” threw the audience a grand treat. He delivered an action movie-inspired opening number, serenaded the TFC subscribers with the song “Miss na Miss Kita,” and handed out roses to some TV audience.

The segment Willie of Fortune had a ‘Robin Padilla Special’ which featured Robin’s movie sidekicks and leading ladies. Celebrity guests included Hyubs, Jeffrey Tam, Dennis Padilla, Donita Rose, Toni Gonzaga, and Vina Morales.

In the middle of the show, Robin candidly shared some of the feedback he had been getting from friends saying he looked nervous onscreen, which Robin immediately cleared, “Ang katotohanan po ay hindi naman ako ninenerbyos. Kaya lang s’yempre po tayo po ay action star. Tayo po ay sanay tumambling. Mahirap naman pong gumugulong ako pabalik d’yan. Kaya po sa lahat ng sumusuporta maraming salamat po sa inyong mga text.”

Watch out for more of special host Robin’s surprises as he joins co-hosts Pokwang, Mariel Rodriguez, Valerie Concepcion, Carmen Soo, Kelly Misa, Isabelle Abiera and Jed Montero in Wowowee, Mondays to Saturdays, right after Showtime on ABS-CBN.
