Lara Quigaman on Willie’s threat: It’s quite off
MANILA, Philippines- Precious Lara Quigaman will show a different side to her personality by portraying a kontrabida for the first time in “Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Impostor.”
Although she had initial reservations about accepting the role, the former beauty-queen-turned-actress shared that she saw this as a chance to explore her acting skills.
“I need to be flexible. Kailangan makita ko ‘yong kakayanan ko bilang artista, kung hanggang saan [ang kaya ko],” she explained.
ABS-CBN.com also asked Quigaman to comment on the much talked about rift between “Wowowee” host Willie Revillame and television host and print columnist Jobert Sucaldito.
The actress said she caught Revillame’s statement on TV, but did not hear Sucaldito’s remarks on his radio program where he supposedly lashed out at Revillame for getting “dumb” people to be part of the show’s contestants.
“Unang-una, I think it’s his (Willie) right to say what he wants because it’s his show. As long as wala naman talaga siyang naaapakan nang sobra-sobrang masama,” she said.
However, the former “Wowowee “co-host said she does not agree with Revillame’s threat to resign if ABS-CBN management would not fire Sucaldito.
She said: “What Kuya Willie did, I think was quite off. For him to threaten to resign if they don’t take him (Jobert) out kasi parang he can do that to anyone pala. If someone offends him, ‘O, tanggalin na ‘yan…’ That easy, ‘di ba? So it’s quite off.”
Quigaman quickly added that she understands Revillame’s outburst because he could have been carried away by strong emotions.
“Sa tingin ko naman nabigla lang siya dahil upset siya pero it can happen to anyone. Pero I think na parehas na may mali. Kaya nabigla siya,” she said.
Quigaman was removed from "Wowowee" allegedly upon orders of Revillame. The actress reportedly irked Revillame after she brought her boyfriend to a “Wowowee” show in Hawaii without telling him first.
Recently, Vhong Navarro confirmed to ABS-CBN.com that he was supposed to temporarily replace Revillame, who was then on leave, on “Wowowee.” But Revillame pulled Navarro out at the last minute because the "Wowowee" main host was not informed about it. -Report by Bernie Franco, ABS-CBN.com

Biting the hand that fed you...
I used to watch Wowowee but when I noticed that something becomes awkward on the show (when Willie has mood swings like walang gana or OA na siya; tapos yung pagiging too bossy or unfairness niya, case in example: Lara Quigaman's bringing along of boyfriend abroad) I stopped. Actually before Lara's incident, I already stopped. Nakikita ko na kasing yumayabang na si main host. When Showtime was shown, mas nagandahan ako. Being an audience, I can see that it can either replace Wowowee or its host can replace Wowowee's main host (Willie). Vhong and Anne can really carry the show, plus Vice Ganda. So given the irresponsible, untoward and boastful remark of yours, please resign. You will do us (audiences) and the advertisers a very big favor.
Takot ka pala e
Puppy takot ka pala mapalitan sa Wowowee e biruin mo last minute habulin mo pa at ipatanggal si vhong Navaro...delikado puppy no dahil baka maenganyo ang mga tao kay Vhong at tuluyan ka ng makalimutan at palitan ng ABS CBN. Ayan lumaki kase ang ulo mo kaya nakakasagasa ka na ng tao, kung tutuusin right lang ng ABS-CBN kung sinong gusto nilang ilagay sa show no kaso talagang pakiramdam mo kung sino ka na kaya ayan nakialam ka naman. Dapat nga magpasalamat ka pa at may sasalba sa puwang na biglaan mong iniwan. MAGRESIGN KA NA! Patunayan mo na totoo ang mga sinasabi mo, kamo hindi dapat matakot ang tulad mong magaling dahil maraming pa namang station ...Gawin mo na kase...Duwag!
It was an "IDIOTIC" emotional OUTBURST!
It was an IDIOTIC emotional outburst from someone who did it without "thinking"!
WOWOWEE is a show of ABS-CBN with WILLIE REVILLAME as host and lead talent!
WOWOWEE is NOT WILLIE REVILLAME...and
WILLIE REVILLAME is NOT WOWOWEE!
