I am writing to Bayanihantayo.com to share my opinion on the Wowowee situation and I hope many other Filipinos share my sentiments.
As a TFC/ABS-CBN subscriber I am beginning to lost my interest in any of the Filipino shows. When Wowowee was pure and was with its original entertaining, full of life host the honorable Willie Revillame, I was so happy to enjoy the other shows on the networks but since they got rid of Willie or put him on a suspension I don’t have the same passion for not just Wowowee but for the other Filipinos shows.
Willie was vulgar but that is his style of comedy he grew up in the street we must accept him for who he is, should we judge another person for being different? No we should be accepting of their difference and even if we do not agree with them we must not become lower and insult them or judge them, this is a crab mentality.
Many Filipinos has a crab mentality, the Willie detractors are jealous of his wealth, success and fame, they saw he has expensive cars and makes more than a million US dollars a year from the American and Canadian subscriptions of TFC/ABS-CBN so they lash out on him because he is richer than them.
I must ask you this, for those of you who hates Willie and suffer from crab mentality, what is the use? Instead be proud that another Filipino your Kababayan can live lavish and is rich. He made something from nothing and for that we should be proud.
Why is he any different than our national hero boxer/congressman Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao?
Manny and Willie are very similar stories, they both worked hard and made a name for themselves. The similarity between Pacquiao and Willie does not end there, both are humanitarian and truly care for the Filipino people as evidence with Manny donated money to the poor and becoming a congressman in Sarangani and Willie giving his own money away during Wowowee to poor contestants and many times even skipping meals just to finish the show affecting his health. Every tear shed from Willie is from his heart, when he cry it is because he work so hard to please the people and instead of showing gratefulness they attack him.
Yet no one is hating or taking shots on Manny Pacquiao like they are doing to Willie Revillame. This is not fair.
Stop taking hits and shots at Mr. Revillame, you are all ganging up on Willie out of envy and this to me is more disgusting than any joke or controversy that Willie has ever done in his life. For those of you who is guilty of this, SHAME ON YOU!
Abs-Cbn needs to find a good host and fast because if they want to save the Wowowee show they must act now.
Luis Manzano and Billy Crawford are boring, they don’t have any style or charm to them at all and makes the show lackluster. Billy seem to copy action star Robin Padilla voice and delivery and I cannot help but laugh because he tries to hard on the shows. First, Billy was a hip hop gangster tattoo kid now he is wearing an over size hand me down clothes? Please this makes the show look poor when they cannot even dress the hosts properly.
Luis Manzano is just basic nothing special or unique. The team of Manzano and Crawford doesn’t work it’s time for change.
Robin Padilla was a good host but he seem almost grandstanding and too confident. I do not have anything critical to say on Robin Padilla because I must admit he did bring the ratings up on the show when Willie left but right now he admit he is going through some marital problems and I don’t think he is emotionally ready to host Wowowee because he said he needed space and time to himself.
The show just isn’t the same with out Mr. Willie Revillame we miss your jokes and singing. Your true fans cannot wait to see you back.
