If you believe that ABS-CBN should take action and chastise Willie Revillame for his crude, crass, and embarassing behaviour on air... Sign the Oust Willie petition!

Here's the petition:


To: ABS CBN Management, MTRCB and PANA

To Whom It May Concern:


I am an avid viewer of ABS CBN and I am very well up-to-date regarding their shows. Without any doubt, I am a Kapamilya. However, last August 03, 2009, an incident happened when Wowowee Host Willie Revillame blurted out comments when a video of Pres. Cory's cortege appeared on the screen.

While a contestant was dancing for the talent portion, a snippet of Pres. Cory Aquino's cortege was shown on the screen. But Willie did not cut short the dancing portion. Instead, he let the contestant finish her routine. After that, he blurted out comments regarding the video of Pre. Cory's cortege. He said:

"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?"

Some may argue that Willie's intention was good, but I rather find these statements rude and arrogant. Wowowee and Revillame is known by millions of Filipino viewers and the show is even watched across several countries through TFC. To react in such way is downright arrogant and disrespectful to the former President Corzaon Aquino. I know that it was a bad taste for ABS-CBN to show a snippet of the funeral on Wowowee, but it was worst for Revillame to react that way.

Willie have chosen to let the contestant dance instead of cutting short her act and give way to the coverage of the cortege. Willie have chosen to blurt out his rude comments ON-AIR instead of Off-cam. In short, Willie have chosen to have fun instead of giving way to the funeral of Pres. Corazon Aquino. So they'd rather have fun instead of pay our respects to our democracy icon? That was not a good example to our youth today.

Was it really hard for him to be humble and human? I believe that this is not the first time that he aired his views and rather arrogant comments On-air. He embarasses his staff, makes fun of the contestants, and arrogantly act on TV almost everyday. Pres. Aquino taught us humility, and Revillame is showing us the exact opposite: arrogance.

This time, Willie's statement should be condemed not only by the public, but by the management of ABS-CBN as well. It also creates a public outrage in the internet forums, chatting boards, and online-newspapers. Majority have negative reactions and have condemned Willie Revillame's brutal statements.

With this, I am calling the attention of the management of ABS-CBN to stop the “arrogant act” of Willie Revillame on National TV program and reprimand him because of his actions. Willie Revillame had been very disrespectful to the Pres. Cory Aquino's cortege, Filipinos icon of democracy. It was also worst for your company that your own employee criticize you on national television instead on off the air conversations.

I am calling the attention of the MTRCB to be more vigilant, so that this lowest form of personal attack by a tv showbiz talk show host, for her/his personal agenda, will not happen again

I am calling the PANA to stop supporting Wowowee until they axe or reprimand Willie Revillame due to his actions. With him as one of the hosts, your product does not project a positive image to the public.

The public and TFC subscribers deserve better programming, and we deserve better than the likes of Willie Revillame.
Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Dapat matagal ng natanggal yan sa ere. Yung Ulta Stampede ay isang malaking kasalanan niya at ng ABS... nagtataka lamang ako kung bakit nananatili pa yan sa ere at tinatangkilik naman... wow grabe.. get out of there Willie.

Pa add naman ako sa mga links mo. :)

I don't see why Willie should be exempt from blame in this case. He is the host of a show supposedly watched by millions - and with that comes a gargantuan responsibility. Blame the director, the crew - fine, blame them all. But to say Willie should not be blamed, come on. There are a hundred ways to skin a cat - granting that he had a point, that point could have been made more tactfully, more diplomatically, without offending an entire nation grieving the loss of a great leader. But Mr. Revillame, in a manner so characteristic of him, opted to throw his weight around, as if to show everyone that he is, afterall, BOSS.
Shame on you, Willie.
And much greater shame befall those who find nothing wrong with what he did.


It's not enough that we get mad at Mr. Revillame.
Do something.

But then again, he's the one on the microphone on camera.. He should have the responsibility to set a good example to the public. Yes, he may have his own opinion but his opinion is not always factual and most logical..

There is nothing wrong being honest, but being crass is different in front of the wide audience. It only illustrates how irresponsible how TV celebrities acts. If he dislikes the inserts, he does not need to carry his opinion up front. As a responsible and professional media personality, he could have handled that much better. He could always excuse himself with humility and respect if the program would like to proceed with their mumbo-jumbo carnival like program or he could have requested it internally to the producers and ABS-CBN board... since it is very obvious he's very close to them for he still got the job in their network and obviously being protected even through ABS CBN news.

Think clearly, read between the line what he means.. As observe the words he spoken out. He wants ratings. That's the bottom line. and ABS CBN buys his crass-ness for many had been converted into Mr. Revillame's wisdom and principles.

Observe carefully how most Filipino's are today... You can see the image of Willie Revillame's character to almost everyone... Because they believe in him.

Oh boy!he is great in setting a good example.

Wake up Filipino's!

whatever reason he has for saying that,he could have waited until his show is finished or he could have talked to the management off air.hes not showing any humility at all,acting like hes the owner of the network that he could do and say anything he wants and never regret anything,knowing that ABS CBN would never let him go coz of the money hes been putting i the company.but is it really has to be like that?his show is about making fun of those desperate and poor people,what kind of message where bringing to our kids?that its ok to sell our dignity?and if you need to sell it just go to wowowee and make sure that youll play so stupid infront of willie so he'll give you money...and its a shame that ABS CBN doesnt see what it brings to the people!hope they prove this time that more than money,morality is more impt in their network!

I think the reason ehy ABS-CBN could not expel him from the show because wowowee is one of their highest ranking shows

Napakayabang ni Willie. Ni hindi na siya nag-iisip bago sya magsalita. He disrespected not only the late President Aquino but also the Filipino people who are grieving for the lost of one great leader who gave so much for our country.

Kapansin-pansin din na laging hinihiya ni Willie and kanyang mga staff live and oncam. Ipinapikita lang ni Willie ang kanyang kayabangan na siya ay malaking tao at boss, at hindi na niya iniisip na ipinapahiya niya ang kanyang mga kasamahan.

Willie's action is unacceptable and unjustifiable.

It's time to give Willie another lesson. He never learned.
OUST WILLIE REVILLAME.

kawawa naman si willie nagkamali nga siya pero dahil lang dun patatalsikin agad siya? we should consider options, weigh them down. we should put it in the hands of the family of President Cory, how they would react and if thus they have forgiven willie for such a crucial mistake then we filipinos should also forgive willie. For sure President Cory would have wanted us to be happy than mourning in her deepest loneliness but be happy and continue with life. As she had mentioned to her doctor "I have lived a full life"

Ito tamang pagkakataon ng ABS CBN na mahalaga sa kanila ang dangal at dignidad ng kanilang network.Totoo na malakas ang wowowee pero kung ito ay sisira ng kanilang dangal dapat siguro isakripisyo na nila si willie dahil madadamay pa buong network.Hindi talaga tama ang naging asal ni willie sa tingin ko parang untouchable na siya sa Channel 2 kaya ganon na lang.Ito nnaman ay batay sa personal kong opinion lang

1st of all: honesty is not being ask to mr. revillame at that moment rather we want sympathy and if honesty is not being ask, that is the absence of tact.
2nd: tama! matagal na talga dapat wala sa ere ang show nya. but WHY?
3rd: Will abs hear our prayers to oust their "precious" but not shining at walang "puso" na host na si mr. revillame?
4th and final: my conclusion is... surely abs is thinking how to make palusot and again and again will make compromise out of it. Tanong ko lang sa taong bayan.. Hanggang ngayon ba magpapaloko at magpapauto ka pa rin? Aba baka gayahin na naman yan ng mga nasa kinauukulan... I'm Sorry.
Kababayan kumilos ka at makiisa. I just did! Sana ikaw din!

I strongly suggest na wag tangkilikin mga produkto na ineendorse nya at sa buong prograqma.. ABS will not act against willie pero pag naapektuhan advertisers nila, mag dadalawang icip din mga yan...

Anonymous said...

Willie made a mistake, we all know that. Kasi sinabi niya yon on cam... pero tama naman siya diba. It is difficult that the people on studio is having fun while in the other part of the screen is mourning..

i don't like willie's attitude since before, pero ngayon I think he has a point. May magkakamali siya at meron din siyang tamang ginawa!

Kami ay mga TFC subscribers pero hindi kami natutuwa kay Willie. Maganda yung show kaya pinapanood namin at hindi dahil kay Willie. Yan ang dapat marealize ng ABSCBN. Willie is not the reason behind the success of the show. He is just being tolerated by the TFC subscribers for his arrogance. Dapat palitan na sya as host kasi nakakasawa na ang kanyang kayabangan. Tama yung sinabi nung isang nagcomment. Hindi kayang isakripisyo ng ABS-CBN si Willie pero kung ang advertisers ang magpull-out sa kanya wala silang choice. Dapat iboycott ang mga products na sumusuporta sa Wowowee para marealize ni Willie na hindi siya Diyos!Dapat maturuan sya ng leksyon.

First of all, I agree with the first comment. After the Ultra stampede, why is that show still on air? What they did was a grave mistake that resulted to the death of many people.

IMHO, Wowowee is not worth its salt, people view it as an easy escape, as a form of lottery, easy money. They make people look like retards and give them a bit of money. I think this kind of shows contribute to one prevalent Filipino trait: katamaran.

I think he should have just given way to the cortege footage instead of making those annoying comments. I mean who really is more important? That Host or Pesident COry Aquino? oh come on... X|

Willie should think things over a hundred times before commiting blunders like this. I am so disappointed.

I thnk its the height of arrogance. Who does he think he is? Kung ang mga bosses nga niya condoled with the family and paid the former president their last respects, siya naman ano ba naman yung small part sa screen na ipinagdamot niya, which is not his to give or deny anyway. Besides, Pres. Cory gave ABS-CBN back to the Lopezes, otherwise wala kang network to show Wowwowwee! Another thing, ano ba namang apology yun, at mukhang hindi sincere - ginagamit na justification ang "pagpapasaya" sa mga kababayan. Fans pa raw niya sina Josh at Baby James. This is simply not the point. People wanted to see the coverage, eh sa nataon na sabay ng program niya. Leave it to the viewers kung gusto mag-switch off or mag-change channels dahil uncomfortable na sabay nakikita ang masaya at ang solemn and grieving. Talagang unthinking siya - why explain to the Aquinos at a time when they are in their grief. I mean can't he not leave them alone even for the time being? Grow up, Willie!

To whom much is given much is expected. Willie enjoys a top rating show and a wide audience reach. This is an opportunity to make a difference in the consciousness of the Filipino. Respect is a value that he ought to teach and live up. What has he done? Nakipag-agaw pa sa eksena sa isang pinagpipitagang tao na ipinagluluksa ng sambayanan ang pagyao. Is this how we want the Filipino to be protrayed? After all that has been said and done, remorseful ba siya?

Looks like the issue is settled as far as ABS-CBN is concerned. In today's issue of the Inquirer(Entertainment F-1), Cory Vidanes was quoted to have said the "outburst was taken out of context." Willie, himself was quoted to have said "konting bagay, pinapalaki."

I expect more from ABS-CBN. If Ces Orena-Drilon was slapped with a 6-month suspension (kahit na risk ang buhay niya), si Willie slap on the wrist? I have my high and deep respect for Ces, along with her bosses Maria Ressa and then Luchie Cruz-Valdez. With Willie and Ms. Vidanes, it remains to be seen if they deserve the same.

wag tayong sobrang OA mag react.. kung magalit kayo eh as if kung hindi ginawa ni willie yun eh mabubuhay si cory.. tanga lang ang nagsasabing pambabastos kung magsabi ng katotohanan.. walang mali sa sinabi ni willie at yung words na ginamit niya doesnt really matter.. at ang petition na yan is non sense.. that's bullshit! ibalik ba ang dating issue about the ultra stampede. at kahit doon wala ding kasalanan si willie kasi ginawa lang niya ang trabaho niya.. kung kayo nasa posisyon niya that time, may magagawa ba kayo? ano siya diyos para iligtas ang mga taong yun.. kung may nasawi man, hindi nila gusto mangyari yun.. kung kaya lang nilang buhayin eh ginawa na siguro nila pero hindi eh.. that was god's will. kaya tigilan na natin ang kabaliwang ito..

Some Filipinos are just a bunch of O.A.(over acting). Kung anong sinabi ng iba, yun na rin ang comment. Mga walang Buto sa Likod! Kasalanan ng ABS-CBN yan dahil di nila alam ang priorities nila. Bakit mo naman pagsabayin ang Funeral at Wowowee show? Alam nating lahat na may pagka-seksi yung show, eh, di na sana dapat pinakita yung libing with sexy-clad women dancing giling-giling. For me, GO WILLIE! So, kayong mga tao na sinusumbatan si Willie, kayo ba ay nakakalakad sa tubig? If you wantto cast a stone to somebody, maybe you should cast a stone to your self, first.

With all do respect for the Aquino family, I do not believe that Willie’s intention was disrespectful. He was just trying to make his audience around the world happy. By him not wanting to show the live coverage of former president Cory Aquino’s funeral doesn’t mean that he wasn’t affected on what’s happening outside the studio of wowowee. I think it’s unfair for him to be suspended. After all he was just doing his job. I was in manila visiting from california when the whole incident happened. I did not see anything wrong with what he requested. We all love Cory Aquino and we’re all sad for what happened. I hope abs-cbn will reconsider and bring him back to wowowee. Willie is the show without him wowowee will not be the same. Thank you…
