Joey de Leon answers Willie Revillame
Mukhang hindi pa nga matatapos ang pagpapalitan ng mga maaanghang na salita nina Joey de Leon at Willie Revillame dahil matapos maglitanya ng kanyang hinaing si Willie kahapon sa Wowowee, heto at agad namang may sagot ang Eat Bulaga! host na si Joey.
Fresh from Hong Kong, isang palabang Joey ang agad na nabungaran sa Eat Bulaga! kaninang tanghali. “Alam kong sabik kayo at naghihintay ng sasabihin ko, puwes, hindi ko kayo bibiguin. Abangan ninyo mamaya, magsasalita ako,” ang paunang sinabi ni Joey immediately after magbukas ang Eat Bulaga!.

In between their portions, pinanindigan ng matapang na TV host ang pambubuska niya sa host ng katapat na programa. Naroong itanong ni Joey sa isang contestant kung ano ang tawag sa maliit na aso, sabay segue ng “Bakit naman kasi ang dami-daming pangalan ay yung sa aso pa ang pinili?”—isang obvious reference sa bansag kay Willie bilang “Pappy” sa Wowowee.
Paulit-ulit ding nire-remind ni Joey ang mga kalahok sa mga contest ng Eat Bulaga! na huwag maging madaya. “Alam n’yo naman, kahit anong kontes na may involved na pera, nagkakadayaan,” pahabol pa nito sabay dugtong na kahit ang mga hosts at ibang audience participants ay naeengganyo ring mandaya.
Bago pa binitawan ni Joey ang kanyang sagot sa naging parunggit ni Willie, sinabi nito sa isang portion na “Kaya nga kami gumagabay dito sa mga contestants natin dahil kayo ang higit na may kailangan nito. Yung iba diyan, ang tanda-tanda na, humihingi pa ng gabay.”
Finally, nabigyan ng kanyang moment si Joey bago matapos ang show. “Explain before you complain,” ang naging buod ng sinasabi niyang installment niyang pagsagot sa lahat ng sinabi ni Willie.
“Kaibigan” lamang ang ginamit na reference ni Joey kay Willie at sinimulan nga niya ang lahat sa isang insidente kung saan hindi naipaliwanag ang supposedly “pagkakamali” na naganap sa “Wilyonaryo” segment ng Wowowee. Ito ang pinag-ugatan ng ngayo’y tumitinding word war ng dalawang noontime hosts.
Nagbiro pa si Joey nang tawagin niya ang atensiyon ng Senado para unahin diumano ang pag-iimbestiga ng naturang kaganapan sa show ng “kaibigan.”
“Bago sana ninyo imbestigahan ang ‘Hello Garci’, sana unahin ninyo ang ‘Hello Pappy’!” ang kunwaring hamon pa nito, sabay sabi na nagbibiro lamang siya.
Ultimo ang pag-iyak ng walang luha ni Willie ay nagawang punahin ni Joey bago nito tinapos ang kanyang litanya sa pag-ulit ng mga salitang “Kindly explain, before you complain.” Kung mayroon man daw ibang tinamaan sa kanyang mga sinabi, “bato-bato sa langit.”
Sa kabilang banda, mabilis ding nagparinig si Willie sa Wowowee. “Hindi ko kailangan ang Senado, kayo [public] ang higit kong kailangan. Simula ngayon, kaibigan na ang tawagan natin. Tama ka, hindi pa nga ito tapos!” ang parunggit ng Wowowee host.
Ipinagmalaki pa ni Willie na mag-isa niyang nabubuno ang three-hour show niya—with minor help from Mariel Rodriguez and Valerie Concepcion—sa loob ng anim na araw every day, habang ang katapat niya ay two-and-a-half hours lang daw na ‘santambak ang hosts. [GMANews.tv]
As far as this latest episode is concerned, I have to say that both instances has its merits and demerits.
Events:
1. A game show segment from a viewers point of view was rigged from the start as evidenced by the video footage.
2. A TV personality wrote his article on a National Broadsheet after a week of absence from the country ending his article with, “Teasing is not bad. Cheating is… on TV!” No names were mentioned in said article.
3. Game Show host reacts like a brat and “cried” on national television targeting TV Personality on a personal level and repeatedly named TV personality the program he works on and the network he appears in. This tirade went on in between “sobs” for 10 minutes or so. During his outburst, no explanation about the incident happened except him stressing several times that he is not a cheater.
4. TV Personality reacts without mentioning names and calls on the game show host to explain before he complains and stated “bato-bato sa langit tamaan wag magagalit.” Jokingly ended his monologue asking the Senate to forget “Hello Garci” and instead focus on “Hello Papi!”
5. Immediately, game show host reacted that he doesn’t need the senate since he has the support of the people.
6. The network of game show host explains that there was a technical glitch on that portion of the game show citing that since it was new, they still have to work out the quirks and apologizes to the viewing public. Still no explanation how the glitch came about and how come there are two numbers in one box or was it a wheel? This statement came out a week after the incident and after the news broke out on the newspapers, blogs, radio and word of mouth.
6. August 31, 2007, the senate reacts and will look into the controversy.
I am not taking sides on this issue but it’s clear based on what transpired who is the more intelligible personality of the two. One maybe viewed as a taunter and the other a “pikon.”
I agree however that an explanation with a substantiated apology is warranted to clear any misconception about the alleged rigging of the Game Show hosts’ portion in his TV program. His personal attack on the TV personality is baseless and diversionary since he was not mentioned by name in any of the taunts made by the TV personality.
The contestant in that portion of the show was going home with an accumulated amount of P137 thousand since she chose the offer instead of going for the jackpot anyway. And in the spirit of fair play, they showed where the big money prize was. This is where the faux pas transpired. This is where an explanation is needed.
The bottom line, there was an incident which warrants an explanation. People reacted including the TV personality in his “pilyo” kind of way. The senate for lack of focus will delve into the issue. For what reason you may ask? I dare not say. What I can say is that it would be a waste of senate priorities and tax payers’ money. We the people need more from the Senate than resolving an issue which the DTI and the MTRCB can solve. Come to think of it, what has the senate done for us lately?
