A few weeks ago, Cristy Fermin made a confirmation that Willie Revillame is back to Wowowee. She further states that Charo Santos Concio talked to Willie while typhoon Basyang was hitting Metro Manila.
Just a few days ago, on Juicy over TV 5, she said that there was someone from ABS-CBN that was trying to block Willie’s coming back to the station. A lot of speculations have been hanging in the air. Even Pokwang was not sure of the status of the show.
But now, it seems that Willie is definitely not coming back to the show. In fact, Wowowee is out.
A new show is about to start this coming Saturday, 31 July 2010 taking the place of Wowowee. Pilipinas For The Win is the new ABS-CBN noontime show.
The new noontime show will be hosted by Robin Padilla, Kris Aquino, and original Wowowee co-hosts, Pokwang, Mariel, and Valerie Concepcion.
I wonder now how Willie Revillame and Cristy Fermin think about what just happened?
UPDATE: The new noontime show will be named PILIPINAS WIN NA WIN
Here is ABS-CBN’s official statement on the new noontime show:
