MANILA, Philippines — The newly introduced Win Girls, composed of Inday Fatima, Queenay, and Ana Ramsey, were thrilled to be joining Willie Revillame as his co-hosts in the forthcoming show on TV5.
The three girls were recently welcomed into the fold by MQuest Ventures, with two more Win Girls who are yet to be named, to team up not only on Willie’s show but also in upcoming MediaQuest and TV5 projects.
“When I met Kuya Will, to be honest, he was very kind,” described Queenay of the comebacking TV host at a mediacon.
“Especially when it comes to food, he is generous. Pagdating sa food, (he would say), ‘O kawawa naman mga ‘to, pagod mga ‘to’ and we will all eat somewhere.”
As for Ana, being tapped as co-host felt like coming full circle, having previously encountered Willie on his previous show at another network. “I never imagined that the time would come when I would be his co-host,” she maintained.
“I’m very much thankful. There were also moments where we were in one table, kumakain tayo. I couldn’t believe na ang isang Willie Revillame makakasama ko sa isang lunch, dinner and (that I would) share a conversation with him.”
Fatima, for her part, shared that Willie is her idol and she is also grateful that she will be co-hosting soon with him.
Fatima, Queenay, and Ana all auditioned to become members of the Win Girls.
Radio DJ Ana is the grandchild of Philippines’ Queen of Rock and Roll Elizabeth Ramsey and niece of Queen of Soul Jaya.
“Actually, you cannot erase the pressure because napakaganda po talaga yung legacy (that) Lola Elizabeth and Tita Jaya (built in the industry). They really achieved the peak of their success. So there’s really a pressure (for me to do the same) but at the same time, I looked up to them as an inspiration to follow in their footsteps in the industry,” stated Ana.
“Before Lola passed away, she told me na sana ma-maintain ko yung Ramsey (name) in the industry. And with God’s help and will, I hope I will stay longer in the industry,” she continued.
Fatima, meanwhile, is a beauty queen and Bisaya influencer. She is a registered medical technologist advocating for the health of persons with disabilities in her home province of Malungon, Sarangani.
“I’ve been joining pageants for more than 13 years,” recalled Fatima. “And I always thought that if I join pageants, it will be a way for me to get discovered to be an actress. But that was like almost a decade ago.”
“But when I did content (creation), vlogging, that’s when people recognized me as Inday Fatima. I showed them who I am — someone who came from the province, yung nago-open ng buko, nagaakyat ng mga puno. I showed them what it was like having a simple life in the province. I got discovered, just by being me, my natural self.”
So when the opportunity opened up for Fatima to be part of Win Girls and be on TV, she considered it as a huge milestone and described it as a “leap of faith.”
“I’ve done hosting in pageants but this is my first time to be onscreen, on TV kaya I’m sure sina mama naiiyak na din talaga.”
Likewise, TikTok content creator Queenay couldn’t be more grateful for the people who supported her content on social media platforms, especially her fellow Batangueños.
“I will use my platforms, create more videos behind-the-scenes kung paano kami nagsho-shoot (to connect and entertain more viewers),” said Queenay on how she will use her platforms to introduce her newly formed group.
“At least (in that way) they will get to know us more, not only me, but also the Win Girls and the program. They will see kung gaano kasaya yung bonding na nabubuo namin sa show.”
In terms of preparations, Queenay said that she will think of content that the audience will surely like. “Aside from a day in my life (content), I will also feature videos where they can see us dancing, with the Win Girls and malay natin, kasama na si Tito Will.”
