Willie Revillame, Ibinunyag Ang Bagay na Ito sa GMA bago ito Mama-alam dito

“Babalik ako. Yung mga nawalan ng trabaho, ibabalik ko kayo. I’ll see you soon,” These were the words that Willie Revillame have left to those who were affected with his leaving from GMA-7.

On February 11, Willie Revillame formally bid goodbye to the network during the finale live broadcast of the variety show Wowowin.

According to the reports, Willie Revillame no longer signed the contract with the Kapuso network due to the fact that he will soon be transferring to the Advanced Media Broadcasting System Inc. (AMBS).

Advanced Media Broadcasting System Inc. (AMBS) is owned by the former senator Manny Villar. The government granted the AMBS the TV frequency that was formerly owned by the ABS-CBN who lost its franchise in 2020.

Willie Revillame’s show Wowowin aired in the Kapuso network for a total of six years and eight months.

Before Willie Revillame bid goodbye in Wowowin, he clarified the fake news that the Kapuso Network didn’t offer to renew his contract since he’s been in contact with the AMBS.

Willie Revillame said, “Kaya yung mga nagsasabi na walang kontrata, huwag ho kayong maniniwala kung kani-kanino. Sa akin lang kayo maniwala.”

To prove that he’s spitting nothing but the truth, Willie showd the copy of contract that GMA-7 has given to him with a validity until February 2023. However, Willie refused to sign the said contract.

“More than a month, nasa akin na po ang kontrata.

“Actually po, ang kontrata, three months before, inaalam na po ng kompanya kung magre-renew ka pa.

“Para ho yung mga haka-haka ninyo na pinagsasabi ninyo ng kung anu-ano, ito ang totoo.

“Nag-usap ho kami ni Senator [Manny] Villar [noong February 2], ang sabi niya, ‘May frequency, may franchise, puwede na.’

“Pero ang sabi ko, ‘Ano ho ba ang plano niyo?’ Wala pa siyang plano, zero, kasi wala raw siyang alam sa industriyang ito, that’s why kinausap niya ako.

“Sabi ko, ‘Mabigat ho iyan. Una sa lahat, ano ang kailangan natin? Lalabas kayo ng frequency, wala kayong transmitter. Walang transmitter, e, yun ho ang nagbibigay ng signal sa buong Pilipinas. Isang problema po ‘yan.’

“Another problem is wala naman tayong concept, wala naman tayong content ng programa. Magmula sa umaga hanggang madaling-araw, anong ipapalabas? So, zero na naman.

“Para malaman niyo lang, wala pa hong plano kasi pinag-aaralan pa lang. Pinag-aaralan ng kanyang pamilya, pinag-aaralan pa rin ho ng kanyang anak na si Sir Paolo,” he said.

Sir Paolo is the current president-CEO of Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc., which is only one of the many businesses by the Villar family.

“Iyan ho ang katotohanan, wala hong plano pa kasi hindi ho ganoon kadaling magbukas ng isang channel.

“Saka, saan ang studio nila? Saan magso-show? Hindi ho ganoon kadali. It will take time.

“Ngayon, yung sinasabi ninyo na may kinakausap na silang artista. May kinakausap na kaming lahat na artista. May sinasabi na kinukuha si ganito, hindi po totoo iyan.

“Ako po ang makikipag-usap kahit kanino at hindi ko iyan gagawin hangga’t nandito ako sa GMA-7, at wala pa kaming usapan kung ano ang deal namin ni Senator Manny Villar,” he added.

The veteran actor and host also confirmed that he didn’t sign the contract out of delicadeza.

Bakit hindi po ako pumirma? Una, por delicadeza. Magso-show ako sa GMA habang ako naman ho ay nagpaplano sa isang istasyon na kalaban ng GMA.

“Hindi ho tama iyon. Sa sobrang bait ho ng mga taga-GMA, sa sobrang bait na ipinakita nila sa akin, hindi ko ho magagawa na traydurin sila.

“Isipin niyo, por delicadeza at respeto ko kay Mr. [Felipe] Gozon, sa lahat dito. Nagso-show ako araw-araw dito, pero after nagmi-meeting ako sa kabilang channel?

“Hindi ko ho kayang gawin iyon kaya ako, kahit ang bigat sa loob ko, isang paa ko naka-forward, isang paa ko hindi ko maigalaw dahil ang bigat.

“Napamahal na ho sa akin ang mga tao dito. Wala akong naging problema dito for six years and eight months,” Willie clarifies.

Meanwhile, in a zoom meeting interview in February 3, Willie Revillame expressed how grateful he is for everyone who had been part of Wowowin including those who have been supporting them since day one.
