'Willing Willie' to be replaced by 'Wiltime Bigtime'

"Willing Willie", the controversial show of Willie Revillame on TV5, will not be coming back anymore. However, a new show will be airing this May 14 in replacement of "Willing Willie". The upcoming primetime gameshow will be called 'Wiltime Bigtime' which will still be hosted by Revillame.

Entertainment show host Cristy Fermin announced the changes on Juicy Express' May 9 episode declaring the following:

“Binigyan tayo ng pagkakataon at oportunidad ni Willie Revillame na unang i-announce dito sa ‘Juicy Express’ na magbabalik na po siya sa [Mayo] katorse… Sabado ‘yan,”

“Ganun pa rin po, alas-singko [ng hapon] pag Sabado, 6:30 [ng gabi] araw-araw."

Since April 11, "Willing Willie" has been off the air after its sponsors removed their ads on the show due to the alleged "child abuse" on the show's March 12 episode. The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) also had suspended the show for 1-month which ended on May 8. The Board already allowed the show to comeback on May 9.

Again, the show will not be coming back anymore and a new show titled "Wiltime Bigtime" will premier this May 14th.

Meanwhile, our poll's current results seem to favor the news above. So far, 4,989 respondents voted "No" to Willing Willie's comeback . They compose the sixty (60) percent of the total number of voters. As of May 10, 3,190 netizens (40%) also said that we should give the show a chance and should resume airing.

6 year-old boy, macho dancing on Willing Willie

The video of the 6 year-old boy macho dancing on "Willing Willie" below has been the center of criticisms, recently. The issue is that Jan Jan "was allowed to be publicly humiliated on the Filipino entertainment show "Willing Willie" in exchange for money", according to a post in a petition site.

Some people also aired their views on the matter on the microblogging site, Twitter.

According to "@iamhappyamy" she found it sickening tweeting, "a kid gyrating like a macho dancer, willie making fun of him, the audience enjoying – truly sickening!"

"Willie didn't learn the word 'polite' when he was a kid. He thinks he can toy with the 'mass' by dangling them money," "@richard_carpio" said on Twitter.

Noypi's Notes:

*** I previously posted this clip with the comment that I found it funny. As I said, I have not watched this episode. The video only shows the dancing part which I found funny. I did not even notice the boy was crying and Willie was not saying so much either.

I recently saw the entire interview and Willie was indeed making fun of the kid in the earlier part of the interview.
