"Wowowin" will temporarily go off-air this May 2016, as announced by host Willie Revillame.
The April 29 episode of the game show will be its last before it is put in a hiatus for two weeks.
Willie Revillame opened the doors of some of his houses for the continuation of Yes! magazine's extensive feature on him.
Willie Revillame is reviving his game show, Wowowillie, early next year.
The said game show aired its last episode on October 12, 2013 on TV5 which had been the host’s home for the past three years.
The episode of Willing Willie, a defunct TV5 program, showing a macho dancing kid has caused negative reactions two years ago. Now, the controversy has come back accusing the program’s host Willie Revillame of child abuse.
The case was pursued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development as well as the Council for the Welfare of Children. It accuses Willie of “exploiting the vulnerability of a minor” in that much talked-about March 12, 2011 episode.
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.
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.
Ethel Booba denied that she shouted at Willie Revillame at the backstage of Wowowillie which resulted into her controversial removal from the TV5 noontime show.
The comedienne and singer finally broke her silence during the press conference of the new Kapatid show, Boracay Bodies, of which she is part of the cast.
Due to its February 28 episode where host Willie Revillame castigated his co-hosts Ethel Booba and Ate Gay, the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned TV5 executives in charge of the noontime show Wowowillie.
On the government agency’s official Twitter account, MTRCB summoned the Kapatid Network “for gender-sensitivity and decorum inquiry over its noontime show.”
Ethel Booba wouldn’t be returning to the TV5 noontime show Wowowillie anymore.
The singer/comedienne confirmed it through a reply to one of her followers on Twitter that asked if she is still coming back to the show.
Vice Ganda spoofed Willie Revillame by interrupting the “Sine Mo ‘To” segment of It’s Showtime to throw lines that the Wowowillie host said during his controversial tirade last Thursday.
Willie “cut” a segment of his show to lambast Ethel Booba and Ate Gay live on national television. It drew flack from televiewers and netizens because Willie could have done that behind the camera and he didn’t have to humiliate Ethel and Ate Gay in front of the whole country.
Willie Revillame reprimanded his Wowowillie co-hosts Ethel Booba and Ate Gay on national television.
The same old story. He used to do that a lot to the dancers and other staff when he was still with ABS-CBN.
A new text promo will be launched by TV5’s Wowowillie on February 9, 2013 called ‘Tutok To Win Sa Tanghali.’
Viewers can register by texting WOWREG<space>Name/Age/Sex/Address to 5656 (example: WOWREG Juan Dela Cruz/26/M/81 Ojeda St. Q.C).
The pilot episode of Wowowillie, TV5’s newest noontime show, was jeopardized by two instances of power failure.
Too bad because it was also the birthday celebration of the show’s main host, Willie Revillame.
Willie Revillame returned to noontime television on Saturday, January 26, via TV5’s Wowowillie.
Wowowillie is the revamped primetime game show Wil Time Bigtime. The host actually hinted late last year that he will be back on noontime television where people first loved him. He hosted ABS-CBN’s Wowowee for more than five years when he was still with the Kapamilya Network.
Willie Revillame's TV5 game show Wil Time Bigtime aired its final episode on Friday night, January 5th, but the host will only say goodbye temporarily.
A new show titled WowoWillie will premiere on January 26th and will put the host back to noontime television.
TV5 is said to be preparing to compete more intensely with the two leading networks, ABS-CBN and GMA-7, beginning next year.
First up was Willie Revillame’s recent live announcement that will be leaving his weeknight game show Wil Time Bigtime early in January 2013. Many hinted that it was just a gimmick of sorts, because he wouldn’t be announcing such a thing in such a manner on live TV if that was indeed true.
A contestant in TV5's Wil Time Bigtime accidentally thanked ABS-CBN after winning fifty-five thousand pesos on December 17, 2011. It was a few hours after an Eat Bulaga! segment winner said "Willie" while thanking Wally Bayola which prompted Jose Bayola to impersonate Willie Revillame.
"Okay lang, okay lang," Willie said amidst the laughter of his show's live audience, then proceeded to talk about the Eat Bulaga! incident where he said he was appreciated by the hosts of the show. He also said that being mentioned in the undisputed noontime show was an honor.

Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee renewed their contracts with ABS-CBN last October 6th. Considered as among the brightest Kapamilya stars, the contract signing was attended by the big bosses of ABS-CBN led by President Charo Santos-Concio, Channel Head Cory Vidanes, Freddie M. Garcia, and Star Magic Head Mariole Alberto.
The four celebrities currently star in their own soaps in the Kapamilya network. Erich Gonzales and Enchong Dee are the lead stars of Maria la del Barrio where they play Maria and Luis respectively. Kim Chiu, on the other hand, stars in My Binondo Girl and Gerald Anderson's advocacy series Budoy has just premiered last Monday.
Recently, it was Shaina Magdayao, Angelica Panganiban and Pokwang who renewed their contracts. Shaina will star opposite Jake Cuenca in the upcoming series titled Doha while we just saw Angelica Panganiban guest star in 100 Days to Heaven. Pokwang co-hosts Happy Yipee Yehey and her contract renewal with the network ends talks that she also wants to transfer to TV5 to co-host with Willie Revillame just like Mariel Rodriguez did.

All the while we thought Willie Revillame is already retiring from television after the Jan-Jan episode of his show, Willing Willie, received some serious bashing not only from his critics but from government agencies as well.

But I guess it's just wishful thinking. On TV5's Paparazzi yesterday, Willie's co-host Shalani Soledad shared some info regarding the return of Willing Willie including a LED dancefloor that's a first on Philippine television.
Watch the Shalani's Paparazzi guesting on the clip after the jump.
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.
