I was really skeptic from buying his product, until I found this article published by When In Manila.

The first time I bought from him was last December 23, 2014. I bought one for Php 65, and his ube halaya did not disappoint!
Just last night, I was lucky enough to see him again in the same spot, and luckier that there was one piece left of his ube!
It may not be that photogenic, but I promise you that looks won't matter after you get a taste of it.
I love the soft and silky texture that it has, almost pastillas-like. For the taste, it is indeed competitive with that of Good Shepherd's, although I prefer this because it has a more buttery flavor. No need to travel all the way to Baguio (or Tagaytay) just to get your favorite Ube Halaya.
My dear readers, if you happen to be around Ortigas, and have the time to pass by the MRT station, I would advise you to do so and buy Ube from Manong Willy. I guarantee that it will definitely be worth it!
Just a side note: I admire Manong Willy for his positive outlook in life! Even though he suffered from stroke, he did not make it a reason to lose hope, instead, made it his inspiration to work harder in life. More power and God bless you kind sir!
