Rufa Mae Quinto, the popular comedienne, shared her heartfelt gratitude to Willie Revillame for his generous PHP1 million assistance during a tough time in her life. The financial help came after Rufa Mae faced legal troubles and needed to post bail worth over PHP1 million to secure her temporary freedom.
On her Instagram post on January 13, 2025, Rufa Mae thanked Willie with her trademark humor, saying:
“Thanks for making me happy, Willie! And for the help, help hooray!”
She visited the Wil To Win studio on TV5 to personally express her gratitude to Willie for his support. During the visit, Rufa Mae shared how the cash assistance not only helped her with bail but also gave her a fresh start.
“I just wanted to say thank you to Willie,” Rufa Mae said. “He didn’t just help me; he’s also helping so many others. It means so much to me, especially in such a difficult time.”
Willie’s Heartfelt Gesture
Willie revealed that their meeting happened by chance on January 9, 2025, the day Rufa Mae was released. The TV host recounted how he saw her accompanied by lawyers and authorities at a restaurant. Moved by her situation, Willie immediately offered to help.
“When I saw her, I thought, ‘She’s going through so much.’ So I told her, ‘Here’s PHP1 million to help you.’ I just couldn’t stand to see her struggle,” Willie shared.
Rufa Mae initially hesitated, even asking Willie to think about it overnight. But Willie insisted, saying he wanted to support her during such a challenging moment.
Rufa Mae’s Positive Outlook
Now out on bail, Rufa Mae shared that she’s focusing on positivity and starting fresh. “It’s all about moving forward,” she said. “The most important thing is I’m okay now, thanks to Willie’s generosity. I’m here to thank him and show people that I’m okay. We’re all okay, okay?”
The heartfelt story of kindness and support touched netizens, who praised Willie’s act of generosity and expressed their love for Rufa Mae’s humor and resilience.
