This is not a direct attack to willie's personality, but I think he lacked good ethics as a TV personality and totally unaware that he is carrying a big responsibility as a TV host, very far from the behavior of veteran hosts like Roderick Paulate and Amy Perez. His arrogance and rudeness last August 3 were too much when he stubbornly ordered that the live coverage of the late President Cory's remains be removed. It was totally unethical for a TV host to do that. He sounded uneducated in front of the national television. He has many lapses already, why ABS-CBN tolerated his mistakes?he should be given a learning lesson for all those actions. He should be sacked from hosting and replaced for more responsible hosts. It can damaged the network's reputation.

This has been a problem of Willie Revillame since way back he was teamed up with Randy Santiago and another male host... i remember he got suspended for his comment about "Mahal" losing her virginity... and before that... other lewd jokes directed to female hosts... and now he is in trouble because of somewhat rude outbusts in front of millions of viewers... I also think he should be removed from being a TV host... until such a time that he controls his emotions and learns to shut his mouth when he has nothing good to say...

He lacked all the qualifications of an ideal TV host, he should learn lessons from veteran hosts like Kris Aquino, Boy Abunda, Vic Sotto, Tito Sotto, Roderick Paulate, Amy Perez and Randy Santiago. These exceptionally talented individuals are known for their good ethical standard, correct manners and intelligent punch lines, but Willie Revillame is simply the opposite, his behavior is horrible.

Willie Revillame should be totally terminated from hosting in any ABS-CBN shows, he is not appropriate and credible enough to host a show. How many times he committed mistake, is his blatant and arrogant behavior are not enough to tell the management he is not capable in hosting?I really detested his presence in television, why he would not just concentrate in his supposed business empire?

I also agree that he should be suspended and he is not respectable host. I don't understand why other people still patronizing and idolize him. Actually he is the one who benefited from the show he has 2 yatch and I heard that he owned the building in front of ABS-CBN which is currently constructing. They doing a hocus pocus in the show because it is very unclear to me how and where did they spend the money of the balikbayans that donating to them. Joey is right he should learn how to control his temper off cam. Willie is rude and arrogant from the past he was acquitted from what he did because ABS-CBn still beside him to cover up. Now he has no escape he never learned his lesson.

hello jlamela, ABS-CBN should have done that a long time ago. I believe he is not the right person to host in that noon time show. I don't like him at all from day 1 of his show. There are more tv personality much better than him and more capable. He is not a lost from the network at all. He has done a lot of mistakes and intrigue already. He's not doing any good at all for the program. He's only using other people for his benefit. I think it's about time to change him.

We have the same sentiment!my God, he is not really suited to become a TV host, the kapamilya network is greatly mistaken in choosing willie to host a noon time show over Roderick Paulate, Amy Perez or Bayani Agbayani, these people are far talented that Revillame, why the giant network is not wise enough to choose its credible hosts?

Actually, i agree that willie should said it off cam. Maybe people see him as arrogant, boastful and too much something in his head, but as i can see people whose watching him shows too much respect and love him, even his attitude is like that. Its hard to pleased everybody right? Some liked him and some disgust him. Everybody have different opinions about him...

Those who love and respect him maybe just overlooked his shortcomings, and that "overlooked" further gave him license to be rude.

In addition to that, he thinks that all his jokes are funny, not thinking that these people also have feelings. Not knowing that its like humiliating them. And a part from all the lapses, the has this thing about acting or feeling sorry for the less fortunte ones but then we can see all the hypocricy hidden. I also dont know why ABS continue to support all his BS.

He is painfully ridiculous and super arrogant. I don't like the way he teased guests on wowowee his jokes are humiliating but then he still continue doing it, why the ABS-CBN continue tolerating it?it seems this network did not care what values they impart to the viewers so as long as they are earning, a very bad strategy in business. What he is doing in his show is nothing but plain hypocrisy.

The guy is simply obnoxious. He likes all accolades to be thrown at him for whatever he is doing in his show. I guess there's too much ego in his head. The network cannot axe him because all controversies that the guy is so fond of are still publicity for the show. His show is always a chaotic sight on TV. There is no organized segment. A lot of time is spent singing and dancing. His co-hosts are shouting even when using microphones. In short, his show is a mess.

Correct!exactly..He is very arrogant and rude. But of course we are not totally destroying his personality. Actually my point is, willie is not suited to become a TV host, maybe he should be moved to a comedy sitcom instead because he is a talented comedian.

Probably he needs a lesson for being so arrogant. It should be on his networks decision to sanction him. But if they do nothing about it, well that is something. I don't patronize such a behavior. Good thing that I don't watch television even if I am back home. I do only watch news via internet and that is Gmanews, not thru ABS (nothing against the station ok).

The reason I declined to watch wowowee is that Willie Revillame tries to appear that he can saved less unfortunate from my misery, he is very good in manipulating people. He did some trick in showing fake compassion. If he is honest with his intention, he should not say it in front of camera because it will only stained the real motive.

I agree with all of you that he should be removed from being a host. I never liked him too. He's never a good host. Dont know why viewer of abs-cbn likes him even they already his attitude. I have watched willie's video in youtube why he has a lot of money. It was uploaded by even de mata. You can search it in youtube if you want.

I am wishing that one day I would no longer see his presence in any ABS-CBN shows. He is really disgusting and lack good manners. He should attend special classes in a finishing school about the basic of ethics and manners.

I agree with the previous post that he should have said off cam. And he should have selected his words properly. It was insulting. The reason why ABS could not remove him as a host is because no one has lasted this long against Eat Bulaga. But with his actions last August 3, the management of ABS CBN should think twice. We have seen this over and over again. He will ask for an apology in national television and cry but after a few months he will be back again with his same old tactics.

Hopefully the kapamilya network won't just be too narrow-minded in thinking only Willie Revillame as a man who could be beat up Eat Bulaga, in reality he is not, he is far from the acting power of other talented host, I think it's not revillame alone who is competing eat bulaga but the show itself, so even without willie, ABS-CBN could plan any credible show to compete Eat Bulaga and just assign it to other credible hosts like Kris Aquino, or Roderick Paulate, Amy Perez even Dennis Padilla.

I don't like his hosting styles.I was not able to watch that incident during President Aquino's burial but if that would be true, that's too bad.

i never liked him. He use people for his own benefits. He doesnt have the personality of being a host. He has no class at all. ABS also use him because they benefit for what this guy is doing to the network. I mean, the network and this guy works perfectly by using people for their own benefits. Theyre good at manipulating and working under the table. This guy acts like he is the savior to these poor people who patronize him and to think the money he gets could be from the network and keep begging from balikbayans to give. eew! you can tell if the person is educated or not by what comes out from his mouth. and this guy is the perfect example.

We have the same sentiment, I am wondering, why on earth ABS-CBN, which has a reputation of being the "most admired broadcasting company in South Asia" is tolerating this Willie Revillame. Why he should not be sacked when what he is doing is damaged the good image of the network?it appears that ABS-CBN is not responsive to take actions for all the misbehavior done by Revillame. In fact he already ruined the network's credibility when he "got mistake with the tricky prize"during one episode of his show before, though he had no direct "hand"about the game, as a host it's his responsibility to make sure everything is in order and proper. Then there's his unbecoming behavior of humiliating some of the guests and the dancers, every time he do this, I will cringe with disappointment why this person will not be sacked and removed from hosting. It is better for ABS-CBN to take Roderick Paulate, Ame Perez and Randy Santiago as his replacements. These three talented individuals are all seasoned hosts with credibility and good ethics to run a noon time show.

I kept telling myself, he should have said it off cam and not live, it really gave a bad impression on the people on that day our beloved former president was being carry to her grave.i think they know, that if Willie loose his job Wowawee show might plunge to the ground. i think they should put Kris Aquino there instead, so that there will be decreased of women being abused..i think. i don't know about you.

On what I saw during his time in wawawee last August 3, it was not rudeness. He is just telling what he feels. Yes it was rudeness to other but does this people heard what was Wille's side why he tell that. He already ask appology to the family of late President Cory. And applogy is accepted by the family. Yes its true that he was suspended bcoz of his rudeness way back. But why he is still there hosting his show now. There an explanation behind that. And please do not judge the person. Not bcoz I like Willie, he has his mistake while I watched his show. Do you not commit mistake, do you not tell what inside of you? And please do not compare one person to other person they have different character and attitude. Different level of education and level of knowledge.

Being a TV Host is not an excuse to be rude. We are not talking about anything else here, we are talking about the code of ethics of a professional TV host. The reason why he keeps abusing and committing mistakes is that he seems easy to get away with troubles and nobody teaching him a lesson. He should be responsible with his actions. He keeps repeating the same mistake, then asked apology, moments later, he do it again, tolerating him will further give him license to be arrogant. It's like a child committing the same mistake and the parents just laughed and said he is only a child without thinking their way of discipline will give a wrong notion to the child that it is okay to commit mistake and do it over and over again. If no one will remind him to be always cautious with his action, he will continue doing it in the future which is damaging.

Yes your correct about it. But the show must go on, what ever it takes. Code of ethics can be disregards specially if it hurts your feelings. So thats why he ask an apolgy becoz he knows that his going to hurt others feelings becoz his on his duty as a TV host. Still the show must go on....

I never liked that guy from the start I guess he's just so popular cos he hands out money to the poor (which is not his money by the way) ----he claims to be makabayan (but look at his attitude towards his contestants) - (he makes fun of them ----------- there are many ways to entertain your viewers than making fun of other people) he may not know it, but these people get hurt inside no matter how they pretend to smile on TV look at how he treats women, on and off camera! my god---what a j*rk! he doesn't deserve all the credit he had been given

As far as I know he chose to go on indefinite leave. I really think Willie despite being his callous in the way he expresses himself to many, he has some good number of followers with his shows. I am not a fan of his shows because I am never able to watch noontime shows anymore as I am working already. I think he should be given a chance to think about what he did on TV and maye given another chance if he will reform indeed. I know he has made similar mistakes before but I think this time he really need to look into it and let him decide on his own. There are people that adores him because despite being tactless he has helped many people along the way and to just remove him from his show would be more devastating for the show if they would just replace him. From what I know he has established himself in the show that ABS is not willing to discipline him since his shows are indeed earning despite the fact.
