“Wowowee” host Willie Revillame Reaction on Former President Cory Cortege

“Wowowee” noontime show host Willie Revillame refused the live feed inset on procession/convoy of our former President Cory Aquino’s remains. Thousands of people filed to see our former president Aquino being transferred from La Salle Greenhills to Manila Cathedral.

Willie has apologized for his actions as reported on Inquirer.net story “On Tuesday (8/4/09), Revillame apologized to his viewers, to the Aquino family and to the network (ABS-CBN) management “for hurting their feelings.” He added that his request to stop the inserted video was really “a sign of love and respect for Tita Cory.”

During the show’s “Willie of Fortune” segment, Revillame said: “’Di po maganda. Nagsasaya kami dito habang nagluluksa ang sambayanang Pilipino. ’Di ko magagampanan ang pagpapatawa habang ipinapakita ang libing ng dating presidente. Ang feeling ko hindi magandang ipinapakita ‘yon habang kami’y nagsasaya. ’Wag kayong magagalit sa akin ... ” He said he was willing to give way to the airing of the TV special, but that his bosses instructed him to do the show live”.

Wowowee host reaction found its way to YouTube; it was met with a huge wave of negative reactions.

Aquino family reaction, especially Kris? Let's see.. it’s a little complicated.
