Willie Revillame Orders ABS-CBN to Remove Live Feed of Cory's Funeral Motorcade on Wowowee

Willie Revillame is getting a lot of criticism about the way he reacted when the live feed of Cory Aquino's motorcade was shown via split-screen on his show Wowowee last Monday afternoon.

According to a forwarded text message, "In Willie Revillame's show yesterday, dey wr showin a clip of Cory's motorcade sa inset. He suddenly freaks out on air & says "Ano ba yan!!! Kung gusto nyo pakita yan, yan na lang. Kung ako, ako lang. Nagsasaya kmi d2 sa show na 2. Ayusin nyo yan!(") It was disrespectful. Jus d other day hs boss Gabby Lopez profusely thankd Cory 4givin dem bak ABS-CBN. now Willie shuns her! Wat a disgrace! Pls pass so others wud kno."

But according to Willie, he meant no harm in his decision to remove the live feed of Cory's motorcade on his afternoon show. He just felt uncomfortable having a fun show while having the live coverage of the transfer of Tita Cory's body from La Salle Greenhills in San Juan to Manila Cathedral.

He said exactly during the show, "Kung ganyan, pakita na lang natin 'yan. Kasi nagsasaya kami dito, tapos... Masakit sa akin 'yan, e. Nagsasalita ako dito... 'yan, please. Sana maintindihan n'yo. Nagsasaya kami dito, papakita n'yo sa amin yun ang... di ba? Hindi tama, e. Okey? Hindi ba?

"Pangit! Hindi ho maganda sa atin. Nagsasalita, ipinapakita yung kabaong ni Tita Cory, hindi ba? Papano kami makapagsasaya, nahihirapan kami? I'm sorry ho, ha. Pero ako, totoo ako, e. 'Wag n'yo akong pagagalitan, kasi totoo ang gusto kong malaman...

"Pagkatapos ng show, ipakita n'yo ang gusto n'yong palabas. Kasi itong Wowowee, gusto ko... Hindi ba, at alam din ni Tita Cory 'yan dahil napasaya rin siya ng show na ito na laging masaya dito, ok?"

Willie also said his apology for ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio, "Ma'am Charo, sorry. E nahihirapan ako ng ganyan, e."

Wowowee Facing "Bigtime Pera O Bayong" Scam Controversy

ABS-CBN noontime show Wowowee is again facing another controversy. This time on their "Bigtime Pera O Bayong" game segment where the show supposedly gave a house and lot, car, and P1 million cash as grand prize, a house and lot as second prize, and P1 million as third prize.

In last night's PEP article titled "Wowowee winner complains about the "repossessed" house-and-lot prize" by Nerisa Almo, a certain Nena Santos - second prize winner of Wowowee's "Bigtime Pera o Bayong" on July 7, 2008, complaint about what she's been through to claim her supposedly brand new house and lot which, to her dismay, turned-out to be a re-possessed house not yet ready for occupancy.

Read PEP's full article below:

"Laging sinasabi ni Willie na ang Wowowee, programa ng walang pag-asa. Kaya asang-asa talaga ako na 'yong bahay na mapapanalunan ko, tulad ng bahay na nakikita namin sa TV at saka may laman," lamented Nena Santos, winner of Wowowee's "Bigtime Pera o Bayong"on July 7, 2008.

PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) got an exclusive interview with Santos, who resides on Banlat Road, Tandang Sora, Quezon City, with regard to her complaint about the house and lot that she supposedly won in that segment of the noontime show.

As the second-prize winner, Santos said, she's supposed to get a house and lot from the real estate developer Globe Asiatique. The first prize winner won a house and lot, a car, and P1 million cash; while the third prize winner got P1 million. After seven months, however, Santos claims she still has not received her prize.

Santos said that she's been going to Wowowee every month to follow up her prize. But on her every visit, a certain Wowowee staff named Abby would only tell her: "'Antay-antay lang po tayo, tingnan na lang natin,' ganun lagi ang sinasabi."

Until her last follow up early this February, another staff told her to follow up the house and lot herself at the Globe Asiatique office in Ortigas. She told PEP in disappointment, "Parang nainis pa sa akin na, 'Sige na nga, nanay, pumunta na lang kayo sa Wowowee bukas. Hanapin ninyo si Ellen, bibigyan kayo ng certification at kayo na lang ang makiusap sa Globe Asiatique.'"

The 56-year-old Santos said that after receiving the certification, she thought everything would be smooth and easy in getting her "dream house," which is located at Santa Barbara Villas II in San Mateo, Rizal.

To her dismay, she still could not move into the house after waiting for seven months.

"Pagdating namin doon sa San Mateo, hinanap namin si Engineer Lalaine. Sabi niyang ganun, may laman pa raw 'yong bahay dahil na-repossessed yung ibinibigay sa akin at may laman pa. Hindi na brand new, repossessed ang bahay at may laman pa," said Santos, who only has a "permit to occupy" in her hands.

She continued, "Ang ginawa ng isang tauhan niya, tinanggalan lang ng isang jalousy, sinilip namin doon sa loob. Nandoon pa nga lahat ng gamit dahil naremata nga daw."

The complainant was really disappointed especially when she recalled what Wowowee host Willie told her during the day she won as the second-prize winner of "Big Time Pera o Bayong." She said, "Sinabi pang ganun, 'Naku, nanay, magandang bahay 'yan sa Saint Monique Valais, kaloob ng Globe Asiatique, kumpleto ang gamit."

When she asked a staff of Globe Asiatique, she learned that the house that was shown to her would cost only P550,000—half the price of the house she supposedly won and worth less than the third winner's P1 million prize.

Santos added that the house was probably the prize of the winning contestant of Wowowee's "Want More, No More" segment, which replaced "Bigtime Pera o Bayong."

Globe Asiatique allegedly told her that she still has to wait for 10-15 days to give the former occupants time to take their things out of the house.

"Ano ba naman ako, kawawa naman ako. Hindi na nga natupad 'yong walang gamit, 'tapos luma pa ang bibigay. Kaya nga nagrereklamo ako. Bukod na sa luma na, repossessed lang, hindi pa fully furnished," commented Santos.

The complainant said that she could not be wrong about the house and lot that was promised to her because the "Bigtime" winner on July 1, 2008—which was only a week before Santos won—had shown her brand new, single detached, and fully furnished house in an episode of Rated K last August 2008.

Hence, she questioned the staff from Wowowee by saying, "Bakit po si Mary Ann, nanalo noong July 1, pinakita sa programa ni Korina Sanchez 'yong bahay na napanalunan?' sabi ko. 'Etching lang po 'yon,' sabi ni Ivy. 'Hindi po talaga 'yon ang bahay na binibigay, nakiusap lang po sila sa Globe Asiatique.'"

The same Wowowee staff allegedly told her, "Hindi naman porke nanalo kayo ng house and lot, mansion na ang mapapanalunan n'yo. Pasalamat pa nga kayo, nanay, may house and lot kayo. Ang dapat ninyong ginawa, nagsimba kayo, nagpasalamat kayo at may house and lot na kayo.'"

Nena Santos is now planning to seek help from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to be able to own the house that she won in Wowowee.

She also took this opportunity to call the attention of Wowowee contestants who may have the same fate as hers. She suspected that she's not the only winning contestant who experienced this kind of treatment.

Santos narrated, "Kasi tinanong ko sa Globe Asiatique, 'Ako lang ba ang nagrereklamo?'"

The Globe Asiatique staff allegedly replied, "Hindi po, kasi marami rin ang nagrereklamo."

She continued telling the staff from the real estate developer, "'Ang akala ko kasi 'yong makukuha ko katulad ng sa Rated K.' The staff replied, 'Oho, 'yon ang pagkakamali, dapat ipakikita nila kung ano ang ibibigay nila.'"

Santos also told PEP that her family has lost interest in watching their favorite noontime show. "Kaya nga sabi ko, hindi naman pala totoo 'yan. Kaya ngayon, hindi na kami masyado nanonood ng Wowowee. Dati talagang tutok kami sa Wowowee," she ended.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN lady boss Charo Santos-Concio already issued a statement regarding the "complaints" yesterday, February 24, via "Flash Report."

DTI Sees Violation in Wowowee "Wilyonaryo" Segment

After more than a year, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) finally released the result of its investigation on the administrative charges filed against the defunct "Wilyonaryo" segment of Wowowee.

According to the 11-page decision of Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) which was released yesterday October 13, the ABS-CBN noontime show “Wowowee” particularly it’s Wilyonaryo segment violated the Republic Act 7394 or the Consumers Act of the Philippines.

Part of the decision issued by DTI on Monday afternoon read:

“A reasonable assessment of the existing game mechanics and procedures implemented at the time of the subject 20 August 2007 Wilyonaryo episode reveals that the game show segment allowed for a reasonable likelihood of error and provided the host and organizers significant latitude in controlling the outcome of the contest.”

According to DTI, the Wilyonaryo segment of Wowowee is under the category of “sales and promotion” campaign and it needs to be under the regulatory commission of DTI or the Consumer’s Act.

In connection to this, ABS-CBN is required to pay an administrative fine of P290,000.00 and come up with an execution of written undertaking.
