Willie Revillame cries Foul

After the latest controversy, the Wowowee host cries foul to noontime rival host Joey De Leon. He released his sentiment and anger. As we all know the controversy is about the "Wilyonaryo" segment in Wowoweee. In Willie's speech he also revive the stampede incident, and joey's action in that time. He even said he doesn't care about the ratings.

That's a big foolishness, a show to stay in air needs to produce a good ratings. Advertisers will only come in if your show is been watch by television viewers. ABS-CBN will surely cut or replace a show that is not watch by many.

If you will watch Eat Bulaga, the staff says "Mr. Joey De Leon never mention naming names". But his action is pointing to their noontime rival.

Actually if you will notice Willie's speech is also a form of a strategy. He is making the show controversy situation to a sympathy scenario.

UPDATE : Official Statement of ABS-CBN

"There was no cheating in the August 20 episode of ‘Wilyonaryo', the new game portion in Wowowee.

"There are two parts in ‘Wilyonaryo', the elimination and the final rounds. In the elimination round, the contestant won P37,000. In the final round, the contestant agreed to get the one hundred thousand pesos (P100,000) offered by Willie. This brought the contestant's total winnings to one hundred thirty seven thousand pesos (P137,000).

"The revelation of where the P2 million jackpot prize is happened after the contestant decided to get Willie's offer. Since 'Wilyonaryo' is a new game, a mechanical glitch occurred in the reveal portion.

"Wowowee assures all its supporters that all games and contests in the program are executed with transparency, fairness, and honesty.

"Wowowee will continue to give cheer, help, and fulfillment of the dreams of millions of viewers around the world."
We must watch Eat Bulaga today for Joey's reaction.
