Will you support Willie Revillame's new show at TV5?

Willie Revillame is one of the most controversial TV personality in the Philippines right now. He is reported to earn more than a million per day in his previous daily noon time show Wowowee until the show was abruptly cut by ABS-CBN after Willie did not show up to host the show for several weeks. Currently there is a bitter court battle between ABS-CBN and Willie over Willie's contract with ABS-CBN. ABS-CBM insists that Willie is still in contract with ABS-CBN until Sept 2011 and as such, Willie is not allowed to do any show outside ABS-CBN. On the otherhand, Willie insists that ABS-CBN essentially cancelled his contract when ABS-CBN cancelled the show. Now, let's leave the legal battle about Willie's contract to the courts. The question I would like to post is, " Will you support Willie Revillame's new show at TV5?" There are 2 very strong positions I am hearing with regards to this question: 1. Yes, we will support Willie as he is the best tv host and he is helping a lot of poor people thru his show. Willie is well loved around the world and has been making a lot of people very happy. 2. No, we will not support Willie's new show for the simple reason that Willie is such an arrogant, ingrate, big headed person. He is a person who does not know how to deal with succes. Arrogant since he scolded ABS-CBN on national TV when ABS-CBN showed a streaming live video of Cory's funeral in his show Wowowee and then he threatened ABS-CBN that he will resign if ABS-CBN does not fire Jobert Sucaldito. Ingrate, because he is essentially now biting the hands of the station that gave him the opportunity (several times) to attain the status he has right now. Big-headed since by the way he acts, he acted as if he owns ABS-CBN when he threatened ABS-CBN, forgetting the fact that he is just one of the talents of the said station. Aside from this, Willie is a master of manipulating the poor people to believe that everything he does is for the poor people when in fact, everything he has been doing is to amass millions and millions of pesos at the expense of the poor people. In reality, all he has been doing is so self-serving. First, the title of his show, Wowowee, is from his name Willie..2nd, notice that there is a special segment in his show where Willie sings his songs? Do you think this is for the poor? Of course not, this is to advertise his songs and the more his songs get recognized, the more money goes to Willie. 3rd, Notice that Willie has something to do with all the sponsors of his show? Wil Cologne, Wil Tower, Technomarine where he designed watches, Belo (where he is shown to have lifesize picture behind Vicky Belo), Savemore and alot more...AND NOW, the title of his new show at TV5 is Willing Willie..Again, his name on it...Is this what he says, for the poor people? Seems like it'all for Willie's benefit.
