Willie Tan Ong born October 24, 1963) is a Filipino cardiologist, internist and media personality who rose to prominence for giving medical advice through his Facebook page and YouTube channel. Ong was also a candidate for the 2019 Philippine Senate election, largely capitalizing on his social media presence. He was a candidate for vice president in the 2022 Philippine presidential election as the running mate of former mayor of Manila Isko Moreno.
In the YouTube video, Doc Willie confirmed his doctors found a tumor called a sarcoma in his abdomen with a size of 16x13x12cm. He was unable to detect it himself because it was hidden behind the heart and in front of the T10 spine.
The mass is also blocking the doctor's esophagus, inferior vena cana, and right atrium.
