Willie Revillame Goes Off the Air

Willie Revillame and his TV program, Willing Willie, are going on hiatus for two weeks.

This is to give Willie time to contemplate whether he can still go on with single-handedly saving the poor population of the Philippines.

Woe-is-me Willie Revillame has given up because fellow artistas, Aiza Seguerra, Lea Salonga and Jim Paredes to name a few, have dared speak up against not Willie himself but about the inappropriateness of the "Jan-Jan episode" of Willing Willie.

Me thinks Willie Revillame is rethinking his life's choices because several of his shows sponsors have withdrawn, at least temporarily, from airing ads on the show.

If Procter and Gamble, Jolibee's Mang Inasal, Unilever Philippines, CDO and Cebuana Lhuillier quit me, I'd also quit myself. Those ads support Willie and his staff's salaries as well as the prices given to contestants.

Willie Revillame, contrary to his sycophants' (i.e Cristy Fermin) belief, is not so selfless that he would continue with the show spending his own money to give to his poor contestants.

Because Willie got so hurt by his fellow actors speaking out against him, he lashed back at them via a 30-minute monologue on the April 8 edition of Willing Willie.

Sa mga nakisawsaw, Willie has this to say: "nakatulong na ba sila sa mahihirap?"

In Willie mind that should shut them up. It didn't occur to him that those people may not necessarily have the same opinions about certain things.

Willie has this to say about Aiza Seguerra: "Magpakalalaki ka." -- what does that even mean?

To Agot Isidro "Wala ka namang anak, alamin mo muna." Well, I know people with kids who chose to exploit their children. Hello JanJan's parents.

Willie may be a millionaire many times over but he is UNCOUTH. That is all I'm going to say about him.

When Willie resurfaces again (I'm sure he will), TV5 should hire good scriptwriters for the show. Put in writing what Willie should say, how program segments should go because nothing comes good during Willie's unscripted moments.

Notice Willing Willie is a two-hour program but almost never ends on the exact hour? That's because Willie always runs his mouth and tries to squeeze every tear-jerking moments from his contestants - all in the name of entertainment and public service - allegedly.
