VICTORINA: We Condemn Willie's Hubris!

ABS-CBN is no longer the biggest station in the Philippines. It is the biggest Philippine TV station in the world and what is shown on ABS-CBN is a reflection of who we are as a nation.

It is an on-going tragedy that what we find on Wowowee doesn't show what is best about our country and our people. It regularly shows uncouth behaviour, it shows men and women of all ages gyrating their pelvises and almost grinding crotches, it shows people trading sob stories for money, it shows games where greed for money and the willingness to gamble --not skill or knowledge -- reigns, and host of other things.

Next time we raise a fist of indignation over remarks made by people like Chip Tsao, Terry Hatcher, or whoever else; let us remember Wowowee and ask ourselves if this show adds to or takes away from our negative image as a country.

Before I start my comment about Willie's show I would just like to emphasize that Im not a fan of Eat Bulaga, Wowowee or any noontime show but my parents love Wowowee, specially my Dad who is a hardworking tricycle driver. He would come home for lunch after a day long of pamamasada and will watch Wowowee with my Mom together. I personally hate the show. Not because its baduy, korni, pangmasa or anything. (but Willie's joke isnt even funny in the first place.) Since the show started and my parents getting hooked on it I know there's something wrong with it as what they do with their contestant. They make fun of people show fake empathy by giving away cash coming from their sponsors and enticing the people with their prices (knowing the fact that they are cheating their contestants.) And when Ultra tradegy happened which took the lives of hundred poor filipinos, I was just so enrage and was hoping that the aweful show be cancelled right away. Willie has crossed the line this time with his arrogant comment with Mrs. Cory Aquino's funeral. He should have thought and used his brain first before uttering words in public. He needs to go. Go away Willie. Buy yourself an island and stay there for good.

thank you VICTORINA!
