Willie Revillame's lawyer Atty. Leonardo "Nards" de Vera (left) and Willing Willie's Business Unit Head Jay Montelibano (right) distributed to the press copies of the sworn affidavits from Jan-Jan Suan's immediate relatives.

One affidavit, given by Jan-Jan's parents, Joe and Diana Suan, said they encouraged Jan-Jan to show off his dancing talent during the March 12 episode of Willing Willie.

Kahapon, April 2, ay nagpatawag ng isang press conference ang kampo ni Willie Revillame para magpaliwanag kaugnay sa patuloy na lumalaking kontrobersiya na nag-ugat sa isang episode ng TV5 primetime variety-game show na Willing Willie. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

Humarap sa media ang business unit head ng programa na si Jay Montelibano at ang abogado ni Willie na si Atty. Leonardo "Nards" de Vera, para magkatuwang na sagutin ang mga ibinabatong akusasyon laban sa Willing Willie.

Kasalukuyang inuulan ng batikos ang Willing Willie mula sa iba't-ibang kampo matapos na kumalat sa Internet ang video clip mula sa March 12 episode nito, na kung saan nagsayaw ng isang "sexy" dance number ang isang batang kalahok na nagngangalang Jan-Jan Suan. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

May usap-usapan na dadalo ang anim na taong gulang na si Jan-Jan, kasama ang mga magulang nito, sa press conference na ginanap kahapon sa Annabel's restaurant sa Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Ngunit sinabi ni Jay Montelibano na may sakit na pneumonia si Jan-Jan at nagpapahinga sa ospital. Naka-confine rin daw sa pagamutan ang ama nito na si Joe Suan dahil naman sa kondisyon nito na may koneksiyon sa sakit na diabetes.

Magkatulong raw na sinasagot ng Wil Productions at TV5 ang gastusin sa pagpapagamot ng mag-ama.

"TV5 is helping us with that," sabi ni Jay.

"Kami, we're looking at the education of Jan-Jan. At the end of the day, sabi ko nga, 'yong parents ang hinangad lang naman nila is makaahon at tsaka makatulong sa mga kids. So we're gonna be helping them out in terms of education," dagdag niya.

PARENTS' AFFIDAVIT. Hindi man personal na humarap sa mga reporters ang mga magulang ni Jan-Jan ay inilabas naman ni Atty. de Vera ang nilagdaang affidavit ng mag-asawa na naglalaman ng kanilang personal na salaysay patungkol sa kontrobersiyal na insidente.

Ayon kay Atty. de Vera, layunin ng affidavit na ipakita at ipaliwanag sa publiko o kung sinuman ang nagnanais na imbestigahan ang nangyari na hindi pinilit ng programa si Jan-Jan na gawin ang ipinakita niyang istilo ng pagsasayaw sa March 12 episode ng Willing Willie.

Ang sinumpaang salaysay daw ng mag-asawang Suan ang magpapatotoo sa katwiran ng programa na hindi galing sa kampo nila ang ideya na sumayaw ng "sexy" ang batang contestant.

Maging si Willie nga raw ay hindi alam kung ano ang dance step na gagawin ni Jan-Jan sa harap ng kamera.

Ang affidavit na naglalaman ng salaysay ay pirmado nina Joe at Diana Suan. Naka-notaryo ang dokumento, at ito ay sinumpaan sa harap ni Atty. Chino Paolo Z. Roxas, sa tanggapan nito sa lungsod ng Pasig nung March 28, 2011.

Narito ang nilalaman ng sinumpaang salaysay ng mga magulang ni Jan-Jan:

Kami ay mga magulang ni John David Suan, na may nickname na Jan Jan. Siya ang panganay sa tatlo naming anak. Siya ay anim na taong gulang ngayon.

Eto talaga klarong exploitation ng mga magulang sa bata. They're using Jan-jan para maka access sila kay willie,o ano,kapalit sa pag sayaw ng bata eh sinagot pa gastusin nyo ni willie.Shame on you parents for allowing allowing your 6 year old son to gyrate like a male stripper before a guffawing live audience and millions of viewers.It's not normal for a boy with tears streaming down his face,agreed to simulate a pelvic thrusting macho dancer-in exchange for 10K for his family.You think its ok,but in a closer look,the boy cries in distress while grimly bumping and grinding,the studio audience,including his family,is in fits of laughter,egged on by the host.It's merciless for Willie to push the 6-year-old to keep dancing for money,mocking his performance as comparable to Burlesk Queen and to for him to say that's how hard life is for Jan-Jan has to learn macho dancing at his age, for the sake of his family.

somebody with good moral compass should konk this child's parents head and uncles and anyone who think that what the boy is trained to do at a young age is right. what the does the child know? they can practically train him to do anything but it does not make it right. and for willie and his staff to think it is funny, you can tell nobody is thinking anymore. it is totally inappropriate. the pedophiles are probably having a field day with his video.

It's understandable that the father of the child is in the camp of Willie if not he will be the first person who will face legal charges. The host of the show should be sensitive enough to notice the feeling and emotion of the contestants after all they are human beings not just things that can be use for higher rating of your show. We can not forever pretend that as he said he has the heart for our poor fellowmen the action speaks the opposite.

Child Abuse- is a physical, sexual, emotional mistreatment of children. There was mistreatment by the host... to the child. Since when did MACHO DANCING become a FORM OF DANCE...doesn't mean it's form of dance coz there's a word DANCING in macho dancing...don't take the word literally folks! A MACHO DANCER is a 1988 movie that explores the the lives of teenage male prostitutes to survive in Manila's sordid red-light district!hmmm....not only was it emotional abuse then...

ayan na, nabayaran na ang pamilya ni Jan Jan. Sinagot na ang paggamot sa mga sakit ila. NAsuhulan na naman ni Willie para sabihing hindi child abuse ang nagyari. Parang pang susuhol nya sa mga tauhan sa wowowee. DIba, pinagamot din nya ang mga kamag anak ng mga staff kaya ang laki ng utang na loob sa kanya at sumama sa kanya? Ang issue dito hindi si Willie per se, pero yung ginawa nya dun sa bata. Eh ano ngayon kung yun ang tinuro ng magulang? Si willie ang nag udyok at nagpasayaw sa bata ng hindi lang 3 beses. Maramaing beses. Tumitgil ang bata umiyak pag tagil nung tugtog pero napapiyak ulit pag pinasayaw. YUN ANG CHILD ABUSE! Hindi sa makitid ang utak ng mga tao, binastos ang bata at nawalan ng dignidad sa harap ng maraming tao. Pinagtatawanan siya habang sumasayaw. YUN ANG DEGRADING! at ang mga comments ni Willie, harsh din. yun ang mali! haay minsan talaga pag mahina ang understanding at narrow minded hindi nakikita ang picture as a whole.

hay naku.. eto na naman, may nagsabi pa na kapalit ng 10,000 pesos lang ang pagsayaw nya.. infairness malaki laki na rin yun, tsaka wala naman child abuse doon...kasi kung di nya gusto na sumayaw bakit pinag patuloy nya pa yung sayaw nya.. open up your mind dswd, madaming bata ang dapat tuunan nyu ng pansin, di yang Jan jan na yan, kasi may mga magulang naman yan at di naman mabigat yung ginawa nya, ang OA ng pinas...

i agree with you RICKYDAVE.tama yung sinabi mo, i am echoing it..bat pinapabayan yung mga batang lansangan mag rugby abuse. tapos hindi nga iba makakain. bakit ang DSWD at pulis walang ginawa kung di mag bulag at bingi sila, bakit ngayun ang daming satsat?..diba nong time ng otso otso at yung kanta na BOBA ni ruffamae at yung spaghetti pababa ng sex bomb girls ang daming bata napanood sa tv na nagsasayaw ng parang erotic dancing....ang di ko maintidihan parang pag sikat ang issue yun sila makikisali sa gulo.bat yung ating opisyal sa gobyerno hindi nila unahin yung mas lalong lulalang social issues sa pilipinas kisa si willie ang atupagin. i know willie is abonoxious and cantakerous sometimes but there are more social issues that they needed to prioritize and focus. btw, what about those kids in smokey mountain that breaths gas methane because they are homeless and theres no place to live, why this DSWD didn't do anything that will guarantee the poor children a descent shelter. just a thought...

Nakakatawa. Kahit ILANG AFFIDAVITS pa ang makuha nila, its useless because ang EBIDENSIYA ng child abuse was captured on live television at naka post yan all over the internet with thousands if not millions of witnesses. Itong si Welle talaga, hindi nag-isip isip!!! HA HA HA

Ang Philippine society ang makitid ang utak sa macho dancing pero sarado ang mga mata sa child abuses na nagaganap sa paligid nila. Yung mga rugby boys na abot tanaw lang ng mga pulis mismo, hinahayaan lang sa mga kalye. Wag magpakaipokrito ang DSWD, MTRCB at gobyerno.

Harapin natin ang katotohanan. Ang "macho dancing" talent ng bata ang nagpaapoy sa issue, hindi child abuse. Mas madumi ang utak ng publiko na may nakikitang malisya sa talent na pagsayaw ng bata dahil macho dancing is just another form of dance. Now kung sasabihing child abuse ang issue, walang kaibahan ang child abuse kay Jan-jan sa child abuse sa lahat ng batang contestant sa lahat ng talent show. Meron ding six years old na contestant sa singing competitions na bata pa ay ginagasgas na ang lalamunan sa kabibirit. Yung ibang batang contestant, pinagsasayaw din na parang mga bar girls.

Pepe2 Walang OA dito, ginawa na naman ni Mr. Revillame ito sa sarili niya. So si Mr. Revillame ang may responsibilidad sa nangyari kay Jan Jan. Kasi naman wala talagang pinag katandaan ito si Mr. Revillame.

true na kung ano ang kakaiba, yun ang mangingibabaw. kaya ayun, tinuruan ang bata ng macho dancing. it's a spectacle, kesehodang in terrible taste. the boy's parents are hungry for fame so they channeled that hunger through their child. willie had jan-jan dance repeatedly and each time, the audience roared with approval and delight. all in all, the kid kept thinking his dance was fab because of all the positive attention. so sino ngayon ang may sala? lahat sila.
