Willie Revillame Orders ABS-CBN to Remove Live Feed of Cory's Funeral Motorcade on Wowowee

Willie Revillame is getting a lot of criticism about the way he reacted when the live feed of Cory Aquino's motorcade was shown via split-screen on his show Wowowee last Monday afternoon.

According to a forwarded text message, "In Willie Revillame's show yesterday, dey wr showin a clip of Cory's motorcade sa inset. He suddenly freaks out on air & says "Ano ba yan!!! Kung gusto nyo pakita yan, yan na lang. Kung ako, ako lang. Nagsasaya kmi d2 sa show na 2. Ayusin nyo yan!(") It was disrespectful. Jus d other day hs boss Gabby Lopez profusely thankd Cory 4givin dem bak ABS-CBN. now Willie shuns her! Wat a disgrace! Pls pass so others wud kno."

But according to Willie, he meant no harm in his decision to remove the live feed of Cory's motorcade on his afternoon show. He just felt uncomfortable having a fun show while having the live coverage of the transfer of Tita Cory's body from La Salle Greenhills in San Juan to Manila Cathedral.

He said exactly during the show, "Kung ganyan, pakita na lang natin 'yan. Kasi nagsasaya kami dito, tapos... Masakit sa akin 'yan, e. Nagsasalita ako dito... 'yan, please. Sana maintindihan n'yo. Nagsasaya kami dito, papakita n'yo sa amin yun ang... di ba? Hindi tama, e. Okey? Hindi ba?

"Pangit! Hindi ho maganda sa atin. Nagsasalita, ipinapakita yung kabaong ni Tita Cory, hindi ba? Papano kami makapagsasaya, nahihirapan kami? I'm sorry ho, ha. Pero ako, totoo ako, e. 'Wag n'yo akong pagagalitan, kasi totoo ang gusto kong malaman...

"Pagkatapos ng show, ipakita n'yo ang gusto n'yong palabas. Kasi itong Wowowee, gusto ko... Hindi ba, at alam din ni Tita Cory 'yan dahil napasaya rin siya ng show na ito na laging masaya dito, ok?"

Willie also said his apology for ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio, "Ma'am Charo, sorry. E nahihirapan ako ng ganyan, e."

On Tuesday episode of Wowowee, Willie apologized to those who were hurt with the way he acted the previous day.

"Sa sitwasyon na ito, kung may nasaktan ako, I’m sorry. Sa pamilya Aquino, alam ng buong pamilya Aquino, wala akong masamang intensyon doon," he said.

I Have Fallen In Love (With the Same Woman Three Times) - A Poem Written By Ninoy For Wife Cory

"I Have Fallen In Love (With The Same Woman Three Times)", was a poem written by Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. for his wife Corazon "Cory" Aquino at Fort Bonifacio on October 11, 1973 for their 19th wedding anniversary when the former was a political detainee.

It speaks of Ninoy's love and admiration for his wife and how he has continually fallen in love with her through their nineteen years (at the time) of marriage.

The same poem was set to music by Jose Mari Chan and recorded it in 1989. According to Mr. Chan, he was approached by a good friend Cecille Guidote Alvarez sometime in 1987 to put music to the poem. What he read was a beautiful and heartfelt tribute from a man to his wife that inspired him to compose its melody in a very short span of time.

I Have Fallen in Love with the Same Woman Three Times was included in Jose Mari Chan's diamond record awardee album "Constant Change" and has recently been recorded by Christian Bautista to be included in a tribute album currently being compiled by Kris Aquino for her mother.

Posted below are the lyrics and video to the song:




I have fallen in love
with the same woman three times;
In a day spanning 19 years
of tearful joys and joyful tears.

I loved her first when she was young,
enchanting and vibrant, eternally new.
She was brilliant, fragrant,
and cool as the morning dew.

I fell in love with her the second time;
when first she bore her child and mine
always by my side, the source of my strength,
helping to turn the tide.

But there were candles to burn
the world was my concern;
while our home was her domain.
and the people were mine
while the children were hers to maintain;

So it was in those 18 years and a day.
'till I was detained; forced in prison to stay.

Suddenly she's our sole support;
source of comfort,
our wellspring of Hope.
On her shoulders felt the burden of Life.

I fell in love again,
with the same woman the third time.
Looming from the battle,
her courage will never fade

Amidst the hardships she has remained,
undaunted and unafraid.
she is calm and composed,
she is God's lovely maid.
