Willie Revillame’s “goodbye letter” to TV5 chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan and president and chief executive Atty. Ray V. Espinosa was published by The Philippine Star on Wednesday, May 22, 2013.
In the letter, the TV host expressed his desire to take a break from showbiz at the end of his contract to ponder upon whether he should continue his showbiz career or just devote his time to the business he has established over the years.
The letter reads:
Dear Sir MVP and Atty. Ray,
My co-production agreement and contract with ABC TV5 will both expire on October 15, 2013, which is the reason I am writing you now.
I must express my deepest gratitude to you and Atty. Ray for the kind gesture of opening the door for me during the most trying moments in my career. For this, I shall forever be grateful. Your unwavering trust and support has kept me motivated in giving my best to provide happiness and hope to our people especially the poor, sick and elderly.
My tenure in the network was not without adversities. The show had its share of ups and downs, yet your support and faith in me remained steadfast, which I will treasure.
I recall your advice some time ago that I should take some time off whenever I feel exhausted due to my Monday to Saturday schedule. I have not done so for the past two years and seven months.
The daily grind of show business had finally taken its toll on me. I gave every ounce of energy I had every time I stepped on stage to fulfill my bounden duty to the network, the sponsors, and most of all, to our viewers.
With a heavy heart, I shall take a much-needed break from show business at the end of my contract. This will allow me to think and ponder whether I should continue my showbiz career or devote my time to the business I have set up over the years.
Let me reiterate my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for your kind understanding through all those times that I worked with you.
With all my highest esteem and regard, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Willie B. Revillame
