Willie Revillame pays tribute to Comedy King Dolphy on Wil Time Big Time.

Contestant Jayvhot on Will Time Big Time. Really talented 13 year old singer.

Here is Willie Revillame's answer after Jose Manalo imitated him at Eat Bulaga. Unexpected, but classy.

This is just something I find bizarre. Joe and Diana Suan, parents of the six-year-old Jan-Jan Suan, have filed on libel cases before the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office earlier Wednesday, April 13, against bloggers John Silva and Froilan Grate, and child psychologist Dr. Lourdes Carandang. It also says that According to the complaint-affidavit, Joe and Diana filed a case against Grate for making it appear that Jan-Jan is an “abused child” and that his family allowed Jan-Jan to be abused in exchange for money and fame. The lawyer said “Sila po ay naniniwala na walang pang-aabusong nangyari at sila ay di papayag, kahit sila ay mahirap, na maabuso ang kanilang anak ng sinoman. Gusto po nila na matigil ang lahat ng ito... Gusto nilang bumalik sa kanilang pribadong buhay. Ayaw po nila na magamit si Jan-Jan sa agenda ng kung sino-sinong tao,” Pineda said. He added that the family does not want Jan-Jan to become a “poster child” for child abuse. “Kung sinasabi po nila na n...

Willie Revillame announced that he will leave his show, Willing Willie for two weeks after the ad pull out by major advertisers after he was criticized for making 6 year old Jan-Jan do a macho dance in exchange for P10,000 cash. He announced that his last show will be Friday, April 8, 2011 in which for the next two weeks, only taped shows will be shown. He will then decide whether he will continue doing the show or not. Here's the report from ABS-CBN News .

Some advertisers have started to pull their ads with Willing Willie after the Jan-Jan macho dance incident. Mang Inasal, a subsidiary of Jollibee has pulled their ads pending investigation by the network. The Internet community has been calling for boycott of the products of the show's advertisers. There's even a Facebook Page calling to boycott all of Willing Willie's sponsors.

I've been thinking a lot about the Willing Willie show where 6 year old Jan-Jan was made to dance like a male stripper. To be honest, I don't expect much from a show with Willie Revillame, all his shows are just about throwing money around degrading people. Fine, if people are willing and able to make a decision themselves to do that, that's fine with me. But subjecting a 6 year old boy with obviously no choice in the matter is a new low. And the fact that the boy was crying while dancing did not even register to anyone on the show that maybe they should put a stop to it? Willie even said that the boy was crying was like the movie "Burlesque Queen" where the star was dancing and crying because she did not have a choice in the matter and will do anything to feed her family. Wasn't that already a queue that maybe it was exploitation? What I find to be truly horrific is the lack of response from the sponsors. These shows do not exist without sponsors. Do these sp...

March 28, 2011 MR. MANNY V. PANGILINAN Chairman ABC Development Corporation Dear Mr. Pangilinan: This is with regard to the 12 March 2011 episode of your show “Willing Willie”, which was brought to my attention by several concerned citizens and groups. In the said episode, a six year-old boy named Jan-Jan Estrada was made to repeatedly perform dance moves usually done by adult dancers in indecent shows. The poor child was in tears and looked scared the entire time, as show host Willie Revillame poked fun at him and the audience laughed and cheered. Under Republic Act No.7610, also known as “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act”, the term “child abuse” includes the following acts: “psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment,” and “any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human being.” Given that definition, it is unmistakable...

I saw this video of 6 year old Jan-Jan on Willie Revillame's show Willing Willie. The boy was dancing like a "Macho Dancer" (male stripper). To be honest, I had to pause it several times because I cannot for the life of me watch this young boy do what just did. First of all, this boy's parents should be shot. I'm sorry, I do not normally swear on my post, but what the fuck were these people thinking? Who in their right minds would teach a 6 year old boy to macho dance? And why would they even subject this boy to this kind of embarrassment? Secondly, why did Willie Revillame or his producers even let this boy do what he just did? Did you even see Jan-Jan's face as he was dancing? He was crying! And his aunt was even happy about it? I mean, I can understand about the need for the money, but no amount of money is worth destroying your dignity. You may think it's funny because it's just a young boy and he may eventually forget about it. But how would anyon...

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer. ========================= MANILA, Philippines—Controversial television host Willie Revillame who captured a massive following here and abroad via his former “Wowowee” show on ABS-CBN, is promising bigger and better prizes for his new show on a rival station, despite his legal battle with his former network. Among the daily prizes are a fully furnished house and lot, P1 million in cash, a brand new car and scholarships for the children of the winning family in one segment called “Family Appear.” He added that participants from the audience in the studio could win as much as P50,000. The new show is conceptualized not just to entertain, but mainly to give hope to the viewing public. “This is my legacy to the viewers—to give them hope that their dreams could come true,” Revillame said. Revillame said prizes and gifts of his new show “Willing-Willie,” slated for launch on Oct. 23 on TV5, would exceed those of his former noontime show. “We will have bigge...

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . ====================== MANILA, Philippines—Willie Revillame wants out. ABS-CBN says, “No way.” The controversial TV host Monday said in a press conference that he was rescinding his contract with the network, on account of the shabby treatment it was giving him. Revillame complained of what he believed were continued violations of the terms of his contract with the Kapamilya station. The TV host is bound by a contract until September 2011 to the Lopez-owned network. ABS-CBN gave Revillame his biggest break through the daily noontime game show, “Wowowee,” which was recently canceled after more than five years. In a statement released shortly after Revillame’s press conference in a Quezon City restaurant, the network insisted that it was the TV host who violated “behavioral provisions” of the contract when he threatened management during the May 4 episode of “Wowowee.” Threat to resign On that show, Revillame demanded the dismissal of another network ...

Willie Revillame goes on indefinite leave. He wants Jobert Sucaldito to be booted out or he will resign from Wowowee. I highly doubt he will leave a show that pays him P1 million per episode. Dito napikon si Willie Revillame kay Jobert Sucaldito.
