Just when "Wowowee" says goodbye on Philippine TV, Wowowee himself Willie Revillame also leaves ABS-CBN, his home studio for more than a decade.
"Nagpapaalam na ako sa ABS-CBN. Wala na akong kontrata." he confirms.
Willie said he is aware of the implications of his decision to officially end his contract with ABS-CBN. He said he cannot just sit idly and watch the death of his show. With regard to his next steps, he has yet to decide. His objective now is to move on and learn from his experience.
He also revelead that he had two meetings with ABS-CBN last July where it was agreed that he will return to Wowowee on July 31. But on July 20, he was surprised when Ms. Linggit Tan informed him that he is no longer returning to Wowowee. He added that he received a letter from Ms. Tan on July 26 regarding the cancellation of Wowowee.
To compensate, he was offered a one-hour weekly program as a replacement, which shall not be a live show but pre-taped, and not of equivalent importance to Wowowee. Without even thinking twice, Willie said he declined the replacement program.
However, Willie's lawyers, Atty. Ferdie Domingo and Atty. Nards Vera, say Willie, whose contract expires in September 2011, will neither sue for damages though ABS-CBN did not fulfill its side of the contract nor will pay damages. The two lawyers said that in this case, Willie could be considered as the "injured party."
