By He hosts the popular show Wowowee. From the Manila Bulletin-
Controversial TV host Willie Revillame is said to be deeply upset over the negative reaction he has received regarding the comments he made pertaining to the airing of President Cory Aquino’s funeral cortege on his TV show, “Wowowee” on Aug. 3.
“He feels isolated,” said friend and Wowowee director Johnny “Mr. M” Manahan who has taken the cudgels for his beleaguered colleague.
Manahan revealed that Revillame had relieved himself of his duties from the show “for the time being.”
*****
The signature campaign was fueled by videos uploaded on the World Wide Web showing Revillame visibly irked while a live streaming video of President Cory Aquino’s cortege was being flashed via a small window in a portion of Wowowee.
“Pangit! Hindi ho maganda sa atin. Nagsasalita [ako], ipinapakita yung kabaong ni Tita Cory, hindi ba? Papano kami makapagsasaya?” Revillame was heard saying.
Which translates to- “It is ugly for us that while I am talking they are showing the cortege of Aunt Cory, isnt’ it? How can we may everyone happy?”
“I don’t think dapat ipakita ‘yan. Nagsasaya kami dito, papakita n’yo sa amin yun [libing]…? Hindi tama, okay?”
Which translates- “I don’t think they should show it. We are having fun, and they burial cortege is being shown. It’s not right. ”
These are really dumb things to be saying and Willie deserves to be in the trouble he is now. My wife, a Filipina who watches Philippine television daily and doesn;’t care much for Willie, says he has a big head and should be fired for what he said. It is a disgrace. She also points out if not for Corazon Aquino, Willie may not have a job now. ABS CBN was sequestered by the Marcoses during the time of martial law.
My own opinion- Willie was an idiot. The entire Philippine country was in mourning. Any punishment he gets is deserved.

In looking at this, and even at the videos of this incident on YouTube, it is hard to say what exactly he really meant. Did he mean to convey, in a respectful but poorly expressed way, that it was not right for the happy show to be on at the same time when the funeral procession was going on? Or was it as you suggest, that in a selfish way he did not like a sad event to take away from the happiness of his show and the participants and audience there in it. It seems that ABS-CBN management should have planned ahead and canceled the show on the day of the funeral to avoid all this and the hard feelings that have now been created.

Maybe Willie care so much for his show and do not care about morality, decency and respect to the feelings of others.

Willie Revillame is so confident of himself that he is too abusive of his authority as host of the show. One time i watched him disgracing one of the contestants in a contest regarding Michael jackson. I told myself why is he being allowed to do that. Its fair that he be removed from the show. Others more respectful can handle it.

Willie has displayed on NATIONAL TV his total disrespect not just during the Tita Cory incident but every single day of his life.
He has disrespected his co workers as if He owns the station, and takes advantage of the already less fortunate contestants. (The more you tell the whole world you're poor, the more you'd get from Willie).
He has succeeded in making it look as If He helps people when in reality, It was from the sponsor's moneys.
What kind of example is he showing to everyone especially the children?
He is an "ARROGANT, SELF RIGHTEOUS, WORTHLESS PIG".
He had been given so many chances to change and improve his very bad behaviour, and " HE KEEPS ON SCREWING UP ! "
TO ABSCBN: " You'd lose a lot more if He is not stopped. "
(Anyone can be the host of that show and people would still come because of the prizes they give away.)
I say, " ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ! WILLIE"S GOTTA GO ! "

i am so sad to the people who misintrepret willy revillame. i dont see bad intentions of willy said in national television. when i see the cory aquino live telecast in wowowee show, i was also galit dahil pangit tignan na nakadikit sa show na nagsasaya tapos may nagluluksa. willy reactions is too emotional kc pangit talaga tignan. pero opinion ng tao di natin masisi. opinion nila yun e. di kc nila nakikita ang pagkalungkot ni willy. ang galit ni willy at aroganteng pagsalita daw. c willy lang yan tao xa magkakamali din. wag tayong maghusga its too unfair. tayo din naman a nagkakamali. lets forgive him like what aquino's family did.naiintindihan nila tayo pa kaya. willy is makes people happy. he touch our lives. mahal xa ng tao. bring back willy in wowowee

Willie Revillame should be out as a host of Wowowee. He's disgrace to the whole world especially to the filipino community. He might said so what & I have lot of money now & I'll leave the show if people doesn't like me. He'll go to POLITICS this time & he thinks he can win it easily to bride those poor family in the Philippines. What an IDOT guy you're & don't have any manners at all. You're not a decent person since I know
you 7 years ago puro yabang ka at mga babae mo pinagmamalaki mo kung sino sino ang nadala mo sa hotel.
You're an EVIL WILLIE REVILLAME. Go to hell.

granting that abs-cbn mgt have not made a plan to cancel the airing on wowowee, still willie did not have to make that comment or maybe he should have been careful enough not to say it on the air.

Well he's an idiot what do you expect. This publicly acknowledged pervert knows nothing else than capitalize on the poverty and misfortune of his fellow filipinos. He is a phony and it's a shame some Filipinos don't see that. This guy is scum… not even worth talking about.
