"Hindi kasi ako guilty of anything, so hindi ako nasasaktan. Tumatawa lang ako. Wala 'yan kasi... Pero nakakatulog po ako nang mahimbing gabi-gabi kasi wala naman ho talagang child exploitation o child abuse," says controversial TV host Willie Revillame.

"Hindi na ho."

This was controversial TV host Willie Revillame's reply when asked in a radio interview if he was pursuing his threat to sue the celebrities who "attacked" him on Twitter.

A number of well-known entertainment personalities posted tweets saying they were incensed by the March 12 episode of Willie's game-and-variety show on TV5, Willing Willie, where a six-year-old boy danced to a "macho-dance" routine and was sent home with P10,000.

Some of the celebrities Willie hit during the April 8 episode of his program were singers Jim Paredes, Aiza Seguerra, Agot Isidro, and Lea Salonga, actress Mylene Dizon, TV host Bianca Gonzales, comedienne Tuesday Vargas and K Brosas, and censors board member Leah Navarro.

Willie made this comment in an interview with dzIQ (Radyo Inquirer) anchors Mon Tulfo and Reysie Amado last Friday, April 15.

"Alam n'yo, ganun talaga ang buhay," Willie told the hosts. "Ang masama lang, humuhusga sila na hindi pa nila alam ang kabuuan, ang istorya.

"E, paano kami magtutulung-tulungan kung ganyan—hati, hindi ho ba? 'Tsaka masama ho yata yung ganung naghuhusga ka sa kapwa mo na hindi mo pa alam ang totoo."

However, Willie did not say why he was no longer pursuing the suit.

TV5 BACKS UP WILLIE. The TV host also thanked the management of TV5 for backing him in this controversy. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

"E, alam naman ho nila kung ano ang totoo," Willie said. "Si Atty. Ray [Espinosa], our president of TV5, siya na mismo nagsabi, 'Alam mo Willie, kaya ka namin sinusuportahan dahil alam naming wala kang kasalanan. Kaya kami all the way para sa 'yo.'

"Ang punto ko lang naman ho—ngayon, nasaan ang pamilya? Sino nag-aalaga? Di ba ako? Kami?"

Willie was referring to the six-year-old contestant, Jan-Jan Suan, and his parents, Jojo and Diana.

He said that Jojo Suan has had to close his beauty parlor, which was the source of his livelihood.

"Nasaan na ho ang pamilya ngayon? Ni hindi na makapagtrabaho. Sinarado na ang parlor," Willie said.

"Ano ang ginawa ko? Tinawagan ko si Senator [Manny] Villar. 'Senator, kailangan ko ng isang bahay at lupa para sa pamilyang ito. Kawawa naman ho itong mga taong ito.'

"Isang sandali lang, isang salita lang, bibigyan kaagad.

Marami namang game show host pero hindi sila sumikat na gaya ni Willie. Magaling lang talaga siyang maghost. Di ba nga inutusan nya si jobert na siraan si willie para maagaw niya ang paghohost ng noon time game show. Di ba Jobert? Nakuha naman niya pero tigbak din?

Kung pinagyabang nya na binigyan nya ng bahay at lupa ang pamilya ni Jan2x. Dapat lang!!! He is the cause kung bakit ganyan ang epekto kasi di nya alam kung ano ang tama sa mali. Dito sa ibang bansa, if ever you see na sumasayaw ang bata na erotic dancing...may sayad ang ina at ama.

Kailangan ni Willie magpa-psychotherapy. Di nya alam kung ano ang mali sa tama. Wala syang moral. A kid dancing an erotic dance is a big NO NO!!! Di ba nya alam yon? Talent ba tawag sa macho dancing na yan?

We missed Willing willie kasi ang saya saya at daming natutulungan sui Willie. Kahit ako aminado na walang malice dun sa showe ni Han2 kasi we were watching that show. kakatawa nga eh kasi walang keber ang bata habang nagsasayaw, yung mga malisyoso lang ang gumagawa ng ingay. Mga Pinoy me crab mentality talaga.

Akala ko straight c tulfo, matapang, may paninindigan, isa sya sa mga hinahangaan ko. Unfortunately he is on the other side of the fence pala. I mean yun dinidipensahan nya ay incredible. And one more thing, pinupuruhan ni willie ang abs, look kung cno mga bumabatikos sa yo, hindi naman sila connected sa abs. Mga edukadong tao na hndi ka nga pinatulan. Mga edukado nga eh! Common willie, convince me, prove your worth. Ke edited yun sa youtube or not, its still d same. Mali talaga. I saw that episode and na sense ko na that you'll be in big trouble again. True enough.

as opinion q NATRAUMA ang bata sa pagpapatatak ng mga taong gustong sumira kay wiliie na inabuso xa dahil sa pagbibigay nila ng malisya. kung gusto talaga nilang tulungan ang bata kung sa tingin nila ay inabuso dapat idinaan nila sa close door meeting at d pinag usapan sa media e ano ngaun mangyayari sinaktan nila ang pamilya ni jan jan at yung bata sa pagsasabing inabuso xa.

I like kangusoGMA7's comment. About indiahenretta, who are you kidding? I thought you said you have a common sense, but you said going bulilit is a wholesome family show at hindi pinagkakakitaan. Who are you trying to convince? I thought you are smarter than that? You are the one who needs anger management class or even common sense check up. You dont need to convince people to side with you. People with common sense don't do that. There is nothing wrong if you are just making comment, but calling Willie names and convincing others to agree with you is different.
