Many are not surprise with ABS-CBN's decision on the fate of their variety show "Pilipinas, Win Na Win!". The Kapamilya management is now giving the failed show their last hurrah and they set the last episode on December 31, 2010.
ABS-CBN Corporate Communication head Mr. Bong Osorio issued a statement:
"Pilipinas Win na Win (PWNW) will have its last episode on December 31, 2010. The ABS-CBN management thanks the The Hitmakers, Valerie Concepcion, Kaye Brosas, and Pokwang, the PWNW production group and most important, its viewers for their support to the program.
"In the meantime, Showtime will occupy the slot left by PWNW. With its extended time, Showtime will continue to bring more great fun, and hope to Filipinos worldwide."
The said noontime show was created to replaced Willie Revillame's "Wowowee". Willie managed to turn the noontime show “Wowowee” into hit, shaking the ratings game with GMA-7's “Eat Bulaga”.
"Pilipinas, Win Na Win!" was hosted by Kris Aquino and Robin Padilla with the former Wowowee co-hosts Mariel Rodriguez, Valerie Concepcion, and Pokwang but their star power failed to uplift the show and it continues to struggle in the ratings game.
Robin Padilla bows out of the show after he filed an indefinite leave and married Mariel Rodriguez. TV host/actress Kris Aquino was asked to step down to make room for new male hosts -- veteran singers Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera, Nonoy Zuñiga, and Marco Sison.
"Pilipinas, Win Na Win!" still failed to match the success or level with the former show and their rival show from other networks.
I'm sure the creative team in ABS-CBN are now working double time to create a new program for the vacant time slot. "Showtime" extended airtime will be just temporary.
