"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.

Thank you. Finally, revillame and his show are off the air. Now let us make sure we will never be subjected to such arrogance again. He has demeaned women over and over. Even children are part of his game. ENOUGH already!

ang nakakapgataka ba't may mga tao dito lagi sinisingit ang abs cbn o kung sino sino pa na wala anman sa issue. child abuse ang pinaguusapan. palibhasa panay tv na lang inaatupag. magbasa-basa naman kayo nag malaman niyo na rin na ang prinoprotektahan ay hindi lang mga pulubing bata kundi lahat ng mga bata mayaman o mahirap na wala pang sapat na kaisipan para magdesisyon para sa mga sarili nila. o ipagtanggol laban sa abuse, molestation at pagpapabaya sa kanila

the fact na pinasayaw paulit ulit ang bata, inabuso ang sitwasyon.. not the child himself... if he was made to dance once, it's fine, pero since ilang beses pinaulit, doon na nag umpisa ... at si Willy, hindi sya Dyos na lahat ng gusto nya ay dapat masunod. tao lang sya, at wala syang karapatan na manumbat sa mga critics nya. yan rin ang problema nya last time, na criticize sya ni Jobert, ngayon naman si Tuesday. anybody can criticize him.

what's sad about this whole thing is that, every single person is fingerpointing at someone. putting the blame somewhere else to the point of twisting the whole issue into something so irrelevant, is just totally disgusting! willie had offended the public because of his poor taste. the 6 yr old may not have been abused by willie, but what in the world is he made to watch at home?!! i don't have a kid but this is very disturbing!! willie should have practiced good judgment at that moment and stopped the boy from dancing inappropriately. but he didn't and this is the result!!

the bottomline is willie made a very poor judgement on his show. just bec. he's in the business to entertain doesn't give him the right to do everything he wishes on live tv in front of everyone to see, especially if it's morally and ethically questionable? does he practice good moral conduct and ethical behavior? is he a good role model, esp to young people? we, as adults, have the responsibility to society to uphold good moral conduct and ethical behavior. had willie admitted to his poor judgment and just sincerely apologize to the people he had offended, that would have been the end of it. as always, capital sin got in the way! pride!

all these are unfair to tv5. willie is a creation of abs-cbn. if this happened in wowowee before, abs-cbn bigwigs will surely defend him against his critics. i am surprised that abs-cbn talents are now very vocal against willie and his antics but they have kept their mouth shut when willie was bringing in the dough for abs-cbn then.

Nag ala Robin Hood si willie - he makes the poor people hate the rich. As if kasalanan ba nila na well-off ang iba at ang iba hindi. Ginagawa nyang tamad ang mga masa by showering them money na galing sa mga sponsors nya - the sponsors na pinapa ban nya. Naging pala asa mga willie idolizers sa kanyan fake charity. If he's indeed a person with a heart, why he did he allow the kid dance and cry over and over again? And worse, hinayaan nya ang mga tao pagtawanan ang mga bata. Anyway, yung perang pinamumudmod nya sa mga tao ay panandaliang lunas lang - hindi pang long term. At sana din ikaso na din yung magulang ng bata for allowing their child to be exploited that way. No child derserves to be treated that way.

Alam naman natin kung ano ang background ni Willie. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang desinte at malaswa. The fact na hindi siya nakatapos ng pag aaral at lumaki sa hindi disenteng lugar. Kaya hindi niya matanggap na siya ang may kasalanan. Napuna ko rin na mayabang siya lalo na kung ang guest niya ay dating taga ABS, kagaya nung nag guest si Rico Puno. Ang sabi pa niya kung nasa TV5 lang daw si Rico ay hindi sana siya mawawalan ng trabaho. Akala niya siya ang may ari ng TV5.

comment number 1106 dubidu1992, sinong network sa US ang naglabas ng video ni Janjan dito sa US, ABC ba? When did it come out and was it shown at the 6 o'clock news ba. Wow, how embarassing to Mr. Revillami. Salamat.
