Willie Revillame won the first round of his legal battle against the Kapamilya network after ABS-CBN failed to get a temporary restraining order (TRO) stopping the airing of the TV5 new show "Willing Willie” hosted by Willie Revillame.
Judge Luisito Cortez of Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 84 said ABS-CBN "failed to discharge the burden of proving that there exists an urgent need for the issuance of a TRO to prevent great or irreparable injury that it might suffer."
According to the court, ABS-CBN's P486 million damage suit filed against Willie Revillame will continue and he must post P426 million million bond for any damage incurred by ABS-CBN by the airing of Revillame's show.
ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio issued a statement after the court did not grant the company's petition for a TRO.
"Mga Kapamilya, ang ginawa po ni Willie ay isang paglabag sa kanyang kontratang pinirmahan sa ABS-CBN na magtatapos pa sa isang taon. Ang hangarin lang namin ay tuparin sana ni Willie ang kanyang obligasyon sa kanyang kontrata. Hindi po ba mahalaga na ipinaiiral natin ang paggalang sa mga kontrata.
"Kaya po nalulungkot kami na hindi nabigyan ng TRO ang ABS-CBN laban kay Willie Revillame.
"Huwag sana natin kalimutan na ang lahat ng ito ay nag-ugat sa walang galang niyang paghamon at pagbabanta sa ABS-CBN management.
"Naniniwala kami na mananaig ang katarungan at ang buong katotohanan. Patuloy namin ipaglalaban ang aming karapatan."
