As you all know, Willie Revillame first threatened to leave popular Filipino game show “Wowowee” over remarks made by Jobert Sucaldito, he said either fire Sucaldito or I will never comeback to Wowowee.
Now, Willie wrote a letter to ABS-CBN using sympathy tactics by appealing to the emotion of women, like how he referred to ABS-CBN President Ms. Charo Santos-Concio as “MOM”. Willie also knows that Charo is his strongest backer at ABS-CBN, Charo made a statement on a previous episode of the Michael J. Gurfinkel Show that Willie is almost like an “adoptive son” to her.

In the letter it is clear that Willie is using a reverse psychology, he wants to be pitied even after all of the controversies he was involved in. He mentions these controversies in his letter, and says he doesn’t want to cause any more embarrassment to the network, he does this hoping the network will tell him “No Willie don’t leave we need you! Wowowee is nothing without you!”.
The technique he is using is the sympathy tactic, to give you an example; when a naughty child get’s away with doing bad things, and he will cry and say he is sorry, and once the parent forgives and forgets the child will do it again and it becomes a cycle. In order for this cycle to be broken a parent must not only discipline the child but enforce the proper punishment.
Willie is just a host, but he can lambast and threaten the management and the bosses that he works for and get away with it. This is unheard of in business, for an employee to do the things Willie is doing and still keep his job. This can actually hurt the image of ABS-CBN because it shows obvious favoritism towards Willie.
Stop falling for his tactics! If Willie was really important to Wowowee, then why are the ratings up since Willie left? and Robin Padilla is clearly loved by the fans and receiving overwhelming positive feedback for his professionalism. While Willie was receiving a majority of negative feedback and complaints from the viewers because of his unsavory image on the show.
Wowowee is a popular game show watched around the world, and they need a respectable host like Robin Padilla who can be a role model to Filipinos. A good example of positive role models are Manny Pacquiao, Charice Pempengco, Gary V, Gabby Concepcion and Arnel Pineda.
“Sila ay magandang halimbawa sa mga tao!”
If ABS-CBN is truly a station for the people, then they will do what is right and release Willie Revillame upon his request.
