Willie draws flak for cutting Cory live stream
MANILA – “Wowowee” host Willie Revillame on Tuesday apologized on television after he drew criticisms for ordering the removal of the live streaming of former President Corazon Aquino’s procession from his show.
“Sa sitwasyon na ito, kung may nasaktan ako, I'm sorry. Sa pamilya Aquino, alam ng buong pamilya Aquino [na] wala akong masamang intention doon,” Revillame said in his show on Tuesday.
He added: “Ayaw ko pong nagsasaya tayo dito, mayroon tayong labi na nakikita sa TV.”
On Monday a visibly irked Revillame asked to stop the airing of Mrs. Aquino’s cortege from La Salle Green Hills to Manila Cathedral, which was being beamed live simultaneously with the noontime show.
The controversial host explained that it was inappropriate to broadcast it while they were having fun inside the studio. He added that it would be hard for him to make the public happy when he could see on screen the casket of Mrs. Aquino.
"Paano kami makakapagsaya [kung] nahihirapan kami? Huwag niyo akong papagalitan kasi totoo ang sinasabi ko. Pagkatapos ng show, ipakita niyo ang gusto niyong ipalabas. Kasi itong ‘Wowowee’ gusto ko, at alam din ni Tita Cory dahil napasaya rin siya ng show na ito, [dapat] laging masaya dito," Revillame said.
His staff immediately removed the live streaming from the screen.
‘Utterly disrespectful’
Revillame’s action drew instant criticisms. In their Facebook accounts, some people branded it as “utterly disrespectful,” “really bad,” and “damn stupid.”
“He has the gall to say that on national TV!?!?!?!?! He's beyond himself,” one wrote.
Another said: “He thinks he's all that.”
No bad intention
On Tuesday, Revillame defended himself by saying that prior to the incident, he called ABS-CBN entertainment production head Linggit Tan asking her to remove the live streaming.
He told Tan that he does not want to come across as someone without a conscience.
“Nakakahiya. Sabi ko, ‘ako ang nakaharap sa camera. Sa akin magagalit.’ Nagsasaya [ako]. Akala niyo wala akong konsensiya,” he said.
He said he only reacted after he saw the funeral procession again on the screen.
He also divulged that before the airing of his Monday show, he even told ABS-CBN management that he was willing to give way to the live coverage of Mrs. Aquino’s funeral.
The host appealed for the understanding of the public.
“Uulitin ko po, wala akong kinakatakutan sa pangyayaring ‘yan. Wala po akong mali sa ginawa ko, dahil in my heart and in my soul, malaki po ang respeto ko sa pamilya Aquino at kay Tita Cory,” he said. -abs-cbnNEWS.com

Wala daw kinatatakutan ho!! pero humingi ng apology on air, stupido ka talaga.Ano tingin mo sa sarili mo dios??? sabi nga ni Mr.JD..Hoy !! nag iisa ka.
Don't Patronize
me result bang na achieve ang mga comment dito! Wala kasi the only way to na magkaroon ng result ang lahat ng mga complaint nyo is just don't patronize the boring show, the boring hosts, the boring dancers, the boring games. Don't be surprised na one day magsalita si Kris sa The Buzz na patawarin nyo na si Willie kasi nga yun na lang ang hinintay nya lam mo nmn yang tao na yan matapang kuno. Kaya nga di muna sya pinaghost last Saturday para palamigin muna ang issue. kala ko ba nagpapatayo na ng sariling mall and sariling studio don n lang sya mag concentrate
This is a wake up call for
This is a wake up call for everyone. We can't be blind that that show really sucks. The fact that it is still there is that because there are so many poor in Philippines and so many fellow Filipinos that are desperate to get money or any goods for free. If all Filipinos has jobs, then i guess there is no show like that...wowowie? i don't even know how to spell that one. I would never want my kids, my nieces, my nephews, to watch it. Dancers look like whores, and everybody screaming---very very very annoying. Can we have a show that is wholesome, informative and educational instead? PLEASE? That show never never teaches the Filipino to be hard worker or be smarter. It only teaches the viewers how to dress up like whores, and scream, and be dramatic to get sympathy. Well, life is not like that. Life is hard work and be smart, and have good values. I hope ABS-CBN will give Philippines more shows that will teach the children to be a good citizen, to be good decision-maker, to have good values, and learn the value of hard work. We can't live with just donations only from a show that uses such bad languages and bad dress-codes. We are not that desperate. Filipinos have really great values and it is very sad that lot of us are losing it because the TV is such big influence in our lives. So, please Ms. Charo Santos and to the Lopez family pls give Philippines an educational show that everybody dress and speaks conservatively. MABUHAY !!
gimik nga lang kaya me problema na malabo.
pero pag nauwaan ninyo na gimik lang eh di walang problema hindi nyo papansinin nangyari. kaya wag nyo na patulan nagpapsikat lang mga kapamilya . ito sasabihin ko dalwang anggulo lang iyan.
una gimik iyan ng chanel wowowee na mag ganyan labas ng issue intriga.para sumabay sa sikat ni cory.
pangalawa talagang me plano na si willie na umalis pagod na siya magtrabaho mayaman na siya iba na ang gagawin niya na trabaho. negosyo o kaya tatakbo ng pulitiko mas malaki kita sa negosyo sarili at pulitiko.
para nga naman pag nag exit siya sa wowoweee maganda ang dating hindi siya kusa umalis inalis siya at kakaawaan pa ng tao dahil simple lang pinaalis.
kaya brod iyan ang mga posibilidad na gimik. kayo talaga nagpapaniwala pa kayo sa showbiz yan eh.
Saying sorry
Mr. willie tama lang ang ginawa mo at humingi ka na ng sorry sa nangyari. Because of the emotions of our countrymen for our Former President kaya ganun na lang ang naging reactions nila ng mapanood ka nila nun araw na un..sila ay nagalit. But for me, sa news ko lang ito napanood, may punto ka sa pagsasabi mong un kya lang cguro na mis interpret ka ng mga tao dahil medyo galit ka nun oras na un..Another learning lesson ito para sa 'yo..
Sorry, Pero Bastos ka talaga WILLIE REVILLAME
Sorry to say this Mr. Revillame, pero talagang bastos ka... Wala kang respeto sa mga staff mo... Madalas mo silang HIYAIN on national TV. Saka pwede ba... NDI NAKAKATAWA yong ginagawa mo na kahit alam mong walang tinapos eh... pilit mong pinagsasalita ng english... KNOWING na ikaw ay MALI MALI RIN ANG ENGLISH MO... Sana tignan mo rin yon tao kung ano yong nararamdaman nila....
Sa totoo lang ndi ka NAKAKATUWA... baka nakakalimutan mo na nagsimula ka rin sa ibaba.... masama man ang magdasal na iparamdam sana sayo ng diyos ang nasa ibaba ka... para malaman mo talaga ang halaga nag PAGPAPAKUMBABA.
Inuulit ko... PASENSIYA KA NA... KASI MASYADO KA NG LUMALAGPAS SA LINYA NG KARAPATAN... BAGUHIN MO SANA ANG UGALI MO... DAHIL SA TOTOO LNG... MARAMI ANG NAAASAR SYO...
OPINION KO LNG PO ITO...
ALEKS
Sorry, Willie
As a TFC subscriber here in Missouri, I do not watch Woweee, it was only the day when Cory was being moved from La Salle to Manila Cathedral and the rest of the ABSCBN coverage for Cory. I was happy that ABSCBN did a good job in their coverage but I was so SHOCKED with Willie Revillame. He was crass...and has no class in showing his true feelings. I bet he was never a Cory Supporter and had never believed in what Cory stood for. It would have been good in his part if he did went off air, or for that sake, let the coverage goes on. Every station had to go through what he had that day. Yes, they were cut off duing their most important 15 minutes of fame to make way for Cory's wake. But, no...I dont buy Willie's apology. He was never a good man, nor a good actor, now not even a good TV host. I remembered the Princess Punzalan era, and how he did got his money from that family. And now...he deserve to lose his job...No question...
AYAW DAW NG MALUNGKOT OWWWWS
Ano pa bang dapat kong isulat para patutuhanan na hindi ka karapatdapat sa noon time show ang kagaspangan ng iyong paguugali at hindi ka mabuting halimbawa para sa mga televiewrs lalo na sa mga kabataan. Hindi ako magtataka kong bakit hindi ka maalis alis sa show na yan sa lakas ng kapit mo sa PULITIKO at Dos but for God sake. Maawa kayo sa taong bayan na nagmumukhang tanga sa kakapalakpak sa kumag na yan. Nauurat lang ako kung bakit ayaw niyang pagsabayan ang saya at lungkot. HINDI BAT GINAGAWA NYANG KATATAWANAN YUNG MGA KONTESTANT NA NAG EEMOTE. Susmaryano ka Indo.Nahihilo ako. Pwede iharap nyo sa akin at tsitsinelasin ko yan.
