About this person
Willie Tan Ong was born October 24, 1963, and trained as a cardiologist and internist before realizing the reach of a camera could dwarf any waiting room. His Facebook page and YouTube channel became a phenomenon, dispensing medical advice in plain language to an audience that treated him less like a doctor and more like a national resource. That visibility made him a Senate candidate in 2019, riding the momentum of his online following into the political arena. By 2022 he'd stepped up further, running for vice president alongside former Manila mayor Isko Moreno. The exam room had become a stage, and the stethoscope a microphone.
