Willing Willie goes off-the-air for two weeks; Willie Revillame lashes back at critics on Twitter

"Wala po kaming kasalanan. Wala po akong kasalanan. Humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa inyo, na kung mayroon po kaming na-offend. Pero hindi po kami hihingi ng tawad, kasi ho wala po akong ginawang masama sa batang iyon. Hindi ko minolestiya ang batang iyon," says Willie Revillame about the accusation that he abused a six-year-old contestant on Willing Willie's "Wil Time Big Time" segment last March 12.

Simula mamayang gabi, April 9, hindi muna mapapanood nang live ang variety-game show ng TV5 na Willing Willie.

Ito ang paunang anunsiyo ng host na si Willie Revillame sa mismong programa niya kagabi, April 8.

Bago matapos ang programa, nagkaroon pa ng mas mahabang pahayag si Willie sa harap ng audience at sa mga manonood.

"Ngayon po, nakipag-usap ako sa presidente ng TV5, si Atty. Ray Espinosa. Nag-usap po kami na hanggang ngayon na lang po ako sa Willing Willie," deklara ng kontrobersiyal na TV host.

"Magpapahinga lang po muna ako. Hindi po ako nagpapaalam.

"Starting today, ang live namin. Bukas po naka-tape na kami. Lalabas po iyon, mapapanood n'yo po iyon."

Kasabay ng pagpapahingang ito ay pag-iisipan umano ni Willie kung nararapat pa ba siyang magbalik sa pagho-host ng TV program.

Aniya, "Starting Monday po [April 11] hanggang next week, hanggang Holy Week, pag-iisipan ko po muna nang mabuti kung ako po ay magbabalik pa sa industriyang ito.

"Bigyan n'yo na lang po muna ako ng pagkakataon sa sarili ko, pag-iisipan ko po ito. Masyado po akong pinagbintangan. Maraming nagbintang sa akin nang wala po akong ginagawang masama."

CHILD ABUSE ACCUSATION. Ang huling pahayag ni Willie ay kaugnay pa rin ng kontrobersiyal na episode ng Willing Willie noong Marso 12, kung saan makailang ulit na nakitang sumasayaw ng "macho-dance routine" ang anim na taong gulang na batang lalaking si Jan-Jan Suan. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Dahil sa episode na ito, ilang grupo at sangay ng pamahalaan na ang nagpahayag ng kanilang pagkadismaya sa insidente.

Kabilang ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Commission on Human Rights (CHR), at Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) sa mga nagsasabing naabuso ang bata sa programang Willing Willie. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

Sa kabila nito, dinepensahan ng TV host ang sarili, pati na ang mismong show niya. Iginiit ni Willie na ang video na kumalat sa Internet isang linggo matapos ang nasabing insidente ay putul-putol at ipinagdikit-dikit na.

Kaya ang pakiusap niya, "Panoorin ninyong lahat ang segment ng 'Wiltime, Bigtime' kung papaano... Ni hindi ko nga alam na 'yon ang sasayawin ng bata. Pinaglaruan ko daw.

"Wala ho ni isa dito sa studio na nakaisip na may malisya doon sa batang iyon. Nakadamit 'yong bata, nakaayos 'yong bata, sumasayaw nang gano'n.

    For all the DIE HARD fans of Mr. Revillame, I do not know your IDOL personally, and gladly have I anything to do with him. I DO NOT CARE about your Mr. Revillame, BELIEVE ME I am just speaking as a heartbroken MOTHER. Mr. Revillame had the FULL AUTHORITY to STOP and DO SOMETHING regarding the macho dancing and crying of a small six year old child, but YOUR IDOL did NOTHING.

    Little Children are SPECIAL and PRECIOUS. Little Children are God's Gift. Mr. Revillame just STOP DENYING that you did nothing WRONG. It is such a POOR EXCUSE. Have YOU LOST YOUR MIND? Is it NORMAL to see and a hear a CHILD dancing and CRYING at the same time?

    To Mr. Revillame - read these lines from Wayne Dyer. How people treat you is their karma - how you react is yours.

    they feature kung gaano kahirap ang buhay ng contestants... tapos kelangan umiiyak iyak ang mga contestants para kaawaan...dahil pag mas kawawa mas may chance magkaron ng mas malaking premyo...kelangan meron laging nagse-self-pity kung gaano kahirap ang buhay nila... at sadly yun ang bumebenta sa masa... kahit nga sa mga talent shows or singing competition... they always try to emphasize na ipakita kung gaano kahirap yung contestant... at isama pati malulungkot na nangyari sa buhay nya... yung pinakamalungkot yung kwento ng kahirapan at pinakatumulo ang luha ang mas may chance na manalo...

    yun ang problema sa yo, binibigyan mo ng pera ang lumapit sa yo at iniisa-isa mo pa at ipinagmamalaki mong kabutihan mo yang ginagawa sa mahihirap, samantalang ang mga bumatikos sa yo ay sinasabi mo na hindi tumutulong sa mahihirap? maaaring wala silang yabang na katulad mo na ipagsabi ang naitutulong nila. hindi pagbibigay ng pera ang solusyon sa mahihirap - sa matatanda, sa kanto, sa audience - dahil pang eengganyo pa yan na pumila sila ng matagal, kahit mahaba sa mga programang nagbibigay ng pera sa halip na samahan ang mga pamilya sa bahay o maghanap ng ikabubuhay.

    one sign of unrepentant offender is when he points out the sins of other people, to divert attention from his sins. he apologized, he did not ask for forgiveness. he knows that asking for forgiveness results to bearing the consequence. he should not be the one to raise the issue against going bulilit and showtime, cause he committed the same offense - exploitation of children. it's now time to review the shows where children performs.

    Willie is too proud to look at himself in the mirror. he keeps on insisting for helping the poor. wake up Willie, the poor are the one helping you. kung di sila nag pupunta sa show mo may manood ba sa yo. kung wala kang maibigay sa kanila, aasa ba sila sa yo. com'on. uwi ka na lang sa nanay mo and learn some manners.

    karlo511 I forgot to mention in my comment. You're right, he mentioned this in his show... ''Merciless,Revillame pushes the six year old to keep danding for money,mocking his performance as comparable to Burlesk Queen,starring Vilma Santos,as a bikini-clad cabaret performer whose sexy dance routine so traumatize her she has a miscarriage on stage. "That's how hard life is. Janjan has to learn macho dancing,at his age, for the sake of his family,"Revillame says with a laugh. ''

    It's not destroying Willie, he already did that to himself. The man is proud! He asked his audience not to patronize the products of the advertisers who'd pull out from his show. He has to enumerate the products of P and G and Unilever to get his point across. Not to support Jollibee Inasal? eh hindi rin naman lahat yan nakakakain sa Inasal. And to mention the names of those who tweeted their criticisms on that particular portion, and they're not helping the poor? Well, Jim has his cause, Monique and Lea, too. And they don't have to proclaim that to the world about their charities. Stick to the issue, Willie. You are encouraging poor to hate the rich - which includes you although you disguise yourself as the rich savior of the poor. So self-serving.

    As if the agencies he mentioned are not doing their jobs. Dahil ba napansin ka, akala mo ikaw palagi ang pinupukol. There were already complaints against Going Bulilit, mind you. Willie gives wrong information to his viewers, to save his face. The man thinks he's the savior of the poor people and proclaims it to the world. He encourages his studio audience not to support those who criticized the incident where he asked the boy to dance again, more than 3 times. I knew the show would be in trouble after that, and i mentioned it to my husband. I have three sons ages 12,10 and 9. And even they were not amused. I watched that episode, because I admired the singing talent of a boy contestant in the same portion, who sang How Did You Know and offered the song to his mother who was with him.
