"Willing Willie" Goes Off Air

Willing Willie will be off the air for two weeks starting Monday, April 11, 2011. But is the TV5 show coming back on air? Willie Revillame said he will think about it over the Holy Week and will give an announcement after that.

Willie's decision to take a break from television was brought about by several institutions, celebrities, and netizens condemning the Jan-Jan episode of his tv show last March 12, 2011. It also caused several advertisers to pull out sponsorship from the show.

He gave a very long speech on his show last night, clearing his name of the allegations against him, going back to his ABS-CBN days and the several Wowowee incidents including the controversial stampede that caused the death of 71 people.

He also mentioned the names of celebrities who bashed him on Twitter including Jim Paredes, Lea Salonga, Aiza Seguerra, Agot Isidro, et. al.

In his speech, Willie told Aiza that she should know about child abuse because she started working in show business as a little kid.
