Willie Revillame in hot waters....again

















Controversy after controversy after controversy. This guy has amazing glue power to keep his job as host for the noontime show Wowowee. Recently, he found himself in another controversy. Last Wednesday, on a national holiday for former President Corazon Aquino , he requested to remove the live feed of Cory Aquino's coverage on air. Netizens have been outraged with this and branded him as disrespectful to the former President.

Personally, I think he has point but he should have pleaded his case off camera. You see, when you are a TV host you should be polite or at least pretend to be one. On the other hand, kudos to Eat Bulaga. They understand exactly what the situation was- the whole nation in mourning and fun and games on another. Their solution: Eat Bulaga opens not with the usual happy background music, this time only the hosts Allan K and Pia Guanio are on stage and seriously delivered their spiel of thanks for the former president. They asked for a moment of silence and then the screen went all black with a simple text "Paalam at salamat, Tita Cory. From the Eat Bulaga family." For 15 seconds or less, the show dealt with the important or big issue first. Then after that, the regular segments for Eat Bulaga resumed. Both programs offered prayers in the latter part of the show.

Anyway, below is the video clip on Willie Revillame. Credit bluegabs21
