TV5 has just released a statement over Willie Revillame’s retirement which the game show host made public via the Tuesday (May 21) episode of Wowowillie.
On TV5’s official Twitter account, the network said they respect Revillame’s decision and in fact wish him well in his plans.
The two-part tweet read: “TV5 Statement on Mr. Willie Revillame: We respect the decision of Mr. Willie Revillame to retire upon the expiry of his contract with TV5. We wish him well in his new pursuits.”
Willie earlier announced that he has already told TV5 of his decision through a letter last May 17. The network accepted his decision, he said.
According to him, his contract will expire on October 15, a Tuesday, so the last episode of Wowowillie will probably be on October 12 which is a Saturday.
Here’s what Willie said over the Tuesday episode of Wowowillie regarding his decision:
“Alam ninyo, may mga personal na rason na hindi ko na sasabihin sa inyo. Ako muna’y magpapahinga ng ilang buwan, ng isang taon o anuman, e, malalaman ninyo.
“Tatapusin ko na lang po ang kontrata ko sa TV5. Ang last day of my contract ay October 15. Maybe October 12 will be the last show ng Wowowillie.
“So, hindi po para malungkot. Ganyan talaga ang buhay. Kasi kailangan ko rin ng time. Malungkot lang ay hindi tayo magkikita araw-araw; wala nang sigawan, walang umiiyak sa saya, walang nabibigyan ng pamasahe, walang nabibigyan ng ganito.”
“Anyway, tingnan po natin, baka may pagkakataon ay magkita-kita pa rin tayo. ‘Yun lang po para matapos na ang haka-haka.
“Ako ay sumulat na sa pamunuan ng TV5, ako po ay nagpaalam na - May 17. Actually po, sinagot na nila ako na I think tinatanggap nila yung aking pagpapaalam sa TV5.
“Para wala nang news, basta po tatapusin ko ang kontrata ko hanggang October. Sa araw na ‘yan, puro saya.”
