The luck Marvin Agustin brings in ‘Wil Time Bigtime’

In Marvin Agustin’s two-day hosting stint at Wil Time Bigtime, the actor-entrepreneur-restaurateur proved to be a contestant’s lucky charm.

For two days straight, Marvin seems to bring luck to the contestants. Aling Virginia won the Baliktaran segment during Marvin’s first day, but the biggest winner was Mavic who took home the Mega Jackpot (P1Million, brand new car and a house and lot) during his second day.

"Pinaginipan daw niya at idinasal na color blue ang piliin niya. Pumunta pa siya sa simbahan and God gave her the sign the "will" at color blue ang piliin,” shares Marvin. “Truly, she got her prayers answered.”

Marvin remains thankful to Willie Revillame for choosing him to host the show for three consecutive days.

Tonight is his last night to host the show as Willie is set to return tomorrow night on the show.

"Sobra akong nag-enjoy sa pay-ho-host ng Witime Bigtime,” concludes Marvin. “Nakakapagpasaya ka na, nakakatulong ka pa. Salamat Kuya Wil."

Blah Blah Blogs: Paalam Pidol

Indeed it really hurts my heart to see the passing of the King of Comedy. Dolphy or Rodolfo Vera Quizon has been part of so many generations with unparalleled comedy which gave him the title of "King of Comedy".  He made hundreds of movies, TV shows and countless fans that have gained him respect and love. As a kid of the 90s, my memories of him is his role as Kevin Cosme of Home Along the Riles. 

Though I have not seen all of his film (mostly clips from his movies in the 50s), he is considered a "National Treasure"  for his contributions in the industry. Alongside FPJ, he shaped Philippine cinema with his roles from almost all profession and even gender. He is also the sole actor who was able to have a Darna movie.
