In a private meeting yesterday May 24, Willie Revillame apologized to ABS-CBN management for his outburst on Wowowee last May 4. In that particular episode, Willie had threatened to resign if ABS-CBN did not give in to his demand that radio commentator and The Buzz co-host Jobert Sucaldito be fired for airing negative comments about Wowowee over the latter’s radio program. Willie has since been on leave from the leading noontime show.
In an official statement, ABS-CBN has expressed its acceptance of Willie’s apology. The network also announced that Willie will continue to be on indefinite leave but will remain under contract with the Kapamilya network. (Willie’s contract is valid until 2011.)
ABS-CBN also revealed that there will be further discussions with Willie about his work with the network as well as the future of Wowowee.
Willie Revillame denies having plans to run for a government position in 2010 elections. “Masarap tumulong nang hindi ka involved sa pulitika,” said the Wowowee host in an interview after the groundbreaking ceremony for his Wil Theater Mall earlier today, May 13, at the Eugenio Lopez Drive in Quezon City. He said that one does not need to be a government official to be able to help the Filipinos who are in need.
A 10-storey mall owned by “Wowowee” host Willie Revillame will soon rise in Quezon City.
Popular television host Willie Revillame added another feather to his cap as his latest album topped music store sales.
Manny Pacquiao’s destruction of Ricky Hatton brings once more the unresolved issue who is richer between him and “Wowowee” host Willie Revillame. When it comes to net worth, will he also destroy Will, Willie’s new official nickname. That’s probably easy to figure out. Manny earns in mostly in US dollars while Will in Philippine Peso.
