Each Time You Watch Wowowie, One Million Goes to Willie






Remind me again that the Philippines is going through a recession and that every day, millions of people suffer of hunger. For the meantime, a noontime show host earns ONE fu...ng MILLION per day.

According to Yes’ Magazine, Andro’s best friend and Wowowie host Willie Revillame and Andro’s ninong Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, chairman and CEO of ABS-CBN are the most powerful entertainer and most powerful executive, respectively, in local show business. The showbiz magazines’ latest issue features "The 50 Most Powerful in Showbiz." The 48-year-old Revillame reigns No. 1 in the Entertainers category.

“As many people adore Willie as disapprove of him – but nobody can be indifferent to him,” the magazine said. That means Trixie, who hates Willie’s guts, actually contributes to his popularity.

Atty Trixie Angeles, you who can bring down city hall, and you who fought the Manila Mayor for the protection of Mehan Gardens (and won), can you do something about this cultural anomaly. Speak up Trix!


And Victorina, who is now writing another article about Willie, is helping him earn his millions, because apparently the advertisers don’t care whether the opinion about Willie is good or bad, if he is talked about, he is a good channel.

The multi-millionaire host who spends his money collecting cars and allegedly abusing women has kept “Eat Bulaga!,” the longest and popular noontime show in the country, on its toes. It seems "Wowowee" is the “persistent thorn in Eat Bulaga!’s side.” So Eat Bulaga and Joey de Leon are also culprits for making Willie to most powerful entertainer today.

Revillame’s builds on his “global” status among Filipino workers abroad. “What’s even more amazing is his audience’s continued adulation despite the negative issues that hound him to this day, foremost of which is the deadly 2006 stampede at the Ultra stadium that marked his show’s anniversary,” the magazine said.

In fairness, Revillame should make a good case study in audience and market research. But my bottomline is this: Revillame (and his bosses) made a good business out of other people’s misery. They build their millions out of the stories of misfortune and tears of the masses.

Willie has grown to such monumental stature that he thinks he is invincible now, no matter what we do, or say, his masses will support him, and heck, will die for him literally. I am two minutes away from calling my friends at ISAFP (Jojo, call me) for some bullet assistance. But that would make him, God forbid, a national hero!

So, we run out of options now and just accept the fact that Willie is the person who defines popular culture today?

Is there justice in this side of the universe?

(Aside: It is not the fault of the masses that they are in the dark, it is because the enlightened ones didn't care enough to share the light.)

    I woke up on the sunny shores of a Pangasinan Beach and lo and behold what do I see? Me being called Willie's Best Friend and a Godson of erstwhile Media Mogul Gabby Lopez.

    FUNNY RAIN! And I almost buried my head in the sand in shame. But it made my day aside from greeting Atty. Trix a very happy birthday. For the benefit of our readers, I categorically deny being Papi's best friend and a Lopez godson. Let's just say I don't eat where I shit.

    Let's see, P1 Million a day! If my math work's right, 6 day a week, 24 days a month, 288 days a year.
    864 days of airtime in three years. Plus a few weeks added.

    Hmmmmmm...
    That's a lot of pretty pennis to chew on. No wonder he is so smug.
    Only in the Philippines can mediocrity be so richly rewarded financially. Keeps me wondering what goes on under the table.

    its unfortunate that such persons exist as proof of failure of democracy. if we only have a greater population of educated middle income. such creature wouldn't exist. democracy only works best when majority of the population are highly educated. unfortunately, our country is a failure as a democracy.

We, as a people, has the power to stop this evil gambling operatives by boycotting these illegal numbers game, jueteng in Central Luzon; Masiao in Visayas and Mindanao. If no one is betting on jueteng then jueteng will stop to exist..It’s as simple as that...similarly with drugs, there will be no pushers if there are no users...

    24 days airing x into 12 months x into 3 years of x Php 1,000,000 per show = Php 864,000,000 is Willie's earnings... (as a safe estimate)

    It's easy to pay 7M in tax a month if you got a clean 26 million per month to spare.

    What a one-man media machine... all money from advertisers...

    Wow! He gained a lot from ridiculing and disrespecting audiences. False hopes to people and cheats from his games. Disowning accountability to the stampede.

    I think we have more worth than the Php 864M he got. My soul is priceless. I'm not sure about him. It's really scary to hold such wealth in exchange of great compromise.

    I don't think he even likes what he does. That's why he's so mean to his audience and co-hosts. His contempt is obvious. Then of course everyone laps it up. He's probably earning his 1M the hard way. Make a living doing something you hate. How much would you charge? Willie earns the money for every day he shows up. It's not a question of if he's worth it.

    Sad but true: We are all doomed because Willie is the person who defines popular culture today.

    May I add that I blame media conglomerates like ABS-CBN for feeding our hapless masses TRASH like Wowoweee, The Buzz etc etc.I won't be surprised if Willie decides to win for Senator someday!

    hes a kind person
    ang he deserved to be pay a million a day

    so shut your mouth fag


  27. Stephen Says:

    I know earning 1M pesos a day is ridiculous while the majority of filipinos suffers from poverty and is very much affected by the economic crisis. I just dont get it why we cant just be happy for the guy. I mean, yes, its not reasonable for him to earn that much at a time like this, but its also not his fault that they are paying him that much. I just think that we should just leave him alone doing what he does(entertaining people) as long as he's paying the right amount of tax against what he earns and he doesnt have anyone killed. Many readers here wont agree with me but I just think we should focus on what good we can do for our country rather than tear each other apart.
    I should admit, his show is kinda corny because I do get to what it during lunch break(office pantry tv shows it everyday) and I can say that hes good at what he does.

    Lets not think like crabs here..

    This is just my opinion.

    Peace!

    Yes, it IS possible that WR may become a senator...but don't blame him if ever it happens.

    Many readers based here can't live without their fill of showbiz matters, so they won't be able to remove ABS or GMA7 from their tv presets even if they're asked to boycott these stations.

    The media conglomerates have our people by the balls, and I'm afraid there isn't much we can do about it...the enlightened ones simply don't have the numbers, IMHO.

    Sige, Willie...tumakbo ka na. Patunayan mo na gago/tanga ang mga botante dito.

    hindi ko alam kung bakit ang bumabatikos sa kanya, hindi kaya marami lang ang naiinggit kay willie?

    maaring may katotohanan ang mga sinasabi nila, pero hindi ba sa pamamagitin ng wowowee maraming mga mahihirap na pilipino ang nabibigyan ng pagasa, pag minsan pa ay natutulungan. maraming OFW ang nakakalimot sa kanilang kalungkutan, eto mga dahilan kaya patuloy na tinatangkilik ng mga tao ang palabas.

    Dun sa mga bumabatikos sa kanya, ano ba ang nagawa nyo na?kung sa halip na bumabatikos kayo e tumutulong kayo para mabigyan pag asa ang mga maralita o hindi kaya makatulong sa kanila.

    yun lang po....

    Iba ang Wowowee the show at iba si Willie Revillame. Hindi si Willie ang nagbibigay ng pera sa tao. Ang Channel Two.

    Si Willie lang ang host. Ito ang problema. Problema kasi 'yung ibang taong makikitid akala kusang palo at tutoong matulungin si Willie. Para bagang nagsa-sakripisyo si Willie para tumulong at pasayahin ang mga tao. Neknek n'yo!

    Si Willie nanggagamit lang 'yan dahil alam n'ya sinagamit rin siya ng Channel 2 para pang-tapat sa Channel 7 (Eat Bulaga).

    Bottom line: Pera-pera lang 'yan!

    I hate the show - it's annoying, it's loud, they're all screaming - however, I do notice that they seem to give a lot to the contestant. The show is popular NOT because of him. No one cares about him. The show is popular dahil maraming kapos at mahihirap sa Pilipinas. Kakanta ka lang, kahit sintunado, may 500 pesos kana! That's easy money. It's not Willie's fault. It the government's fault and failure to aid our fellowmen. Kung hinde gutom ang tao, they wouldn't go on that show!
