Willie Revillame Lost Almost P50 Million in 3 Months
Willie Revillame admits that he has lost about P50 million in running the show Wowowin over which he stands as the host-producer.
Wowowin is Willie’s blocktimer game show in GMA Network which airs every Sunday afternoon.
In a presscon that was called by GMA in the noon of Wednesday, August 5, the 54 year old TV host/comedian/singer has expressed that he has almost given up on the show.
“Going P50 million. It’s alright, it is just money.”
“You know, it is just money and it can be regained.”
“Moreover, we have started in Wowowee (ABS-CBN) with nothing.”
“So, I will just have it returned to the people.”
According to Willie, he was busy the days before the episode of Wowowin on August 2. He is staying in Tagaytay to manage the construction of his Boutique Hotel in the area.
It may seem like he has lost his will to pursue the program because of his huge loss.
He realized that the 3:30 PM timeslot which he has chosen is not a good one and that advertiser are hesitant to invest on the slot.
A couple of days ago, there were rumors that the show will take a halt by the end of July because of the loss that Willie has been experiencing. He has lost a lot from his own funds in trying to revive the show and to keep it on air.
“Kapuso…may Puso.” But Willie is said to have regained his high spirits when Mr. Joey Abacan, the first vice president for program management of GMA called him for a meeting.
It is said that he is in good mood when he mentioned about never having to leave anyone behind.
According to willie, “ I never thought that there is a station that is just like this that is willing to listen.”
