Willie already apologized for what he said about the airing side by side of Wowowee with the cortege of Corazon Aquino although he still stands with what he said. He now went on an indefinite leave because of this controversy where Filipinos still continue to share their shock and dismay with the noontime show host through online petitions and through twitter, facebook and text messages.

Indefinite leave may mean 2 days or 3 days off from work which means that Wowowee won’t have Willie to host it because he was asked to go on leave starting August 10. His co-hosts are now taking over and they are doing quite well as always especially Pokwang who doesn’t miss giving us fun antics that brings more life to the noontime show.

The country is in a crisis and we need all the money we can get to help feed the poor and to make the lives of the Filipinos a little bit better.

Willie Revillame is on a hot seat right now after he voiced out his opinion about the live video streaming of the cortege for Corazon “Cory” Aquino. On his show in Wowowee, he said that it doesn’t seem nice that on his noontime show where everybody’s enjoying then the footage of Aquino’s cortege is also simultaneously being aired. He asked the crew to turn off the video streaming. Here’s exactly what he said on his show in Wowowee.

Hindi siguro magandang tingnan na pinapakita niyo yan. Nagsasaya kami tapos pinapakita niyo yung, I don't think dapat ipakita yan.

Jejomar Binay, the mayor of Makati said that the public support for the late Corazon “Cory” Aquino should be a warning to GMA not to push for the Charter Change. He said that the procession of people during her funeral shows that our people are really capable of staging another people power if ever the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would cling to her power beyond her term as President which will end next year, 2010.
