Willie Revillame threatens to resign from "Wowowee"

I read this news just today but I think this happened two days ago. Yes Willie threatens to resign if Jobert Sucaldito will not be fired by ABS-CBN. Here is the full article about this news:

The usual party mood on the noontime show Wowowee suddenly turned serious when host Willie Revillame rebuked TV and print entertainment columnist Jobert Sucaldito for supposedly badmouthing him and Wowowee all these years. “Alam n’yo ho dito sa ABS-CBN dapat kami dito ay isang pamilya. Alam n’yo ho meron sa DZMM na 2:00 to 4:00 (program slot) sa pangalang Jobert Sucaldito na tinitira n’ya ho itong show. Dito ho kami nagtatrabaho sa ABS, sa management sinasabihan ko lang ho kayo ba’t n’yo pinapayagan tirahin ng taong ‘to ang Wowowee?”

The host explained that Jobert supposedly made a comment on air claiming that Wowowee gets “dumb” people as its audience. “Alam mo, Jobert, dapat nga hinahangaan mo ‘yung programang ito. Araw-araw mo akong tinitira sa dyaryo, tinitira mo ko sa DZMM. Alam mo ba magkano ang kinikita ng Wowowee? Nakakatulong kami sa mga special children na ito [na] guests namin. Tirahin mo ito, sige! Wala ka nang ginawa kundi ako ang tirahin. Ako na lang ang tirahin mo, Jobert huwag na itong show.”

Willie also also questioned why ABS-CBN management is supposedly tolerating Jobert for speaking out against the show. “Huwag mong samahan ng pulitika ito. Ito ay pagbibigay-lingkod, kahit na mga 74 percent o mga bagsak ige-guest namin dito, kahit basurero gine-guest namin dito.” The controversial host said that the columnist has no right to criticize the less-fortunate people who become part of show’s audience.

Willie went on to ask Jobert not to attack the show's audience, which sometimes include special children, or people who have serious ailments. “Nananawagan lang ho ako sa management ng ABS, huwag n'yo naman ho payagan tinitira ‘yung show natin. Ang laki ho ng kinikita ng Wowowee para sa ABS,” Willie implored.

Willie let out an even tougher statement when he said that if the management won’t fire Jobert, he would resign from Wowowee. “Tandaan n’yo ‘yan. Wala na kayong ginawa kundi ako tirahin dito. Mabigat na ‘to sobra na. Ilang taon na ako nananahimik, tinitira ako sa dyaryo niyang Jobert na ‘yan. Tahimik lang ho ako, ‘yung Jobert na ‘yan pero tandaan n’yo, ‘pag hindi n’yo ‘yan tinanggal, ako magre-resign dito. Para ho sa tao ito. Para sa mga taong espesyal, para sa mga 75 percent ang grades. Ipaglalaban ko ‘yung mga batang ‘yan. I’m sorry sobra na ito.”

He also challenged Jobert to meet the sick kids every day because it is not an easy task. “‘Yan ang ginagawa ko, tinutulungan ko ‘yung mga ‘yon para malaman mo. Sobra na. Huwag mong idadamay ang programang ito dahil ang programang ito ang may-ari ang mga Pilipino hindi sa ‘yo ‘to.”

Willie apologized to the audience for his outburst, but he explained that he just had to point out to Jobert that he should not attack him, being a fellow Kapamilya. “Kasama ko na sa istasyon, Kapamilyang itinuring kami, pero tinitira kami sa loob ng ABS-CBN.” Willie then stressed again his frustration with management for allowing Jobert to get away with his comments.

The controversial host clarified that he is not being boastful, but he is just being himself. “ABS (CBN) management, gawan n’yo ng paraan ‘yan. Alagaan n’yo ang mga talent n’yo dahil nagbubuhos kami dito ng pagod, lahat. Huwag n’yo kaming [sirain] sa sarili naming tahanan tinitira kami,” he complained.
