DTI filed charges against ABS-CBN's Wowowee

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has filed administrative charges against ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation, after it found irregularities in the "Wilyonaryo" segment of the firm’s noontime show "Wowowee".

DTI investigators found irregularities in the game show’s Wilyonaryo segment last August 20.

It was on August 20, 2007 when "Wilyonaryo" became controversial because of the two numbers, "0"and "2," that contained the violet "jackpot" wheel of the said segment.

The panel is composed of the Consumer Welfare Trade Regulation Group, the DTI’s Bureau of Trade Regulation Consumer Protection, representatives from the Movie Television Review and Classification Board, Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas, and a consumer group.

They gave ABS-CBN 10 days to answer the charges.

There is also a rehearsal video about the reported scam and the actual game last August 20, 2007 video.
