ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III stated that the issue about Willie Revillame will be resolved when the proper time comes through proper procedure.
You can see in his face and voice that he was not affected by the threat of Willie resigning if Jobert Sucaldito is not be fired. It seems all the negative controversies committed by Willie are being neutralized by the income Wowowee is generating.
This is not the proper way to make money, where many viewers are being irritated by the words and actions of a host like Willie Revillame who has an unsavory personality. It seems that ABS-CBN is too dependent on Willie as the host of Wowowee believing he is the one bringing income to ABS-CBN. But the truth of the matter is the majority of the money comes from over seas cable and satellite subscribers of ABS-CBN, and honestly speaking many of those subscribers like myself are fed up with Willie. So if you keep Willie you might lose the subscribers who are providing you income in the first place.
ABS-CBN management does not see or is avoiding to see that it is Wowowee the fans come to see, not the host. but the people want an honorable, decent person to host the show that they love. The more they will enjoy the show once again. This is evidenced by when Robin Padilla took over the hosting job and the ratings went up and fans gave positive feedback.
The management doesn’t see that Willie causes different kinds of controversy. It can be deduced that Willie will commit or create another kind of controversy, the management should not wait for a more serious one to occur. They need to look at his track record and realize how many controversies Willie Revillame has been involved in.
Willie’s words are faster than his mind. He does not have self discipline or thinks before he speaks. He acts out of emotion, such as anger and resentment.
Willie requested that ABS-CBN release him from Wowowee, so he can have space. He claims to have heart problems, and being overworked from hosting. If that is the case it is proper to release him since he requested to be released with proper and acceptable reasons. Then ABS-CBS did not fire or terminate Willie, he is not entitled for any benefits or damages because he requested to be released. Then that means there is no improper acts that can be claimed against ABS-CBN.
It is not good for a host to get so many thousands of negative comments from people or viewers of the show. This is the first time that a host is negatively criticized by thousands of people and so forth.
In my opinion, ABS-CBN should honor his request and that way they can prevent any other difficulties in the future.
Now Let us wait and see how ABS-CBN handles this matter.
