The former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate said he was proud of being part of the tourism project showcasing Malta.
“I’m gratified through the roof to be casted in this creative group of filmmakers who were all able to showcase this lesser known gem of the Mediterranean in their own customized way of storytelling. Proud of every person in this competition especially team Spain & I urge you all to check out each creators’ videos to see the beauty I was up against!” he said.
Wil also commended the organizers, saying this is how every tourism campaign should be, letting content creators to choose what they want to do.

GIVE vloggers a car, food, place to sleep, and trust them to choose what they want to do/learn about the country & let them loose! No call times, no rules, just make a cool video and have fun with it cuz that experience & camaraderie will translate through the video!” he said.
