Willie Revillame
A QC court has given ABS-CBN 15 days to answer the plea of host, Willie Revillame for “judicial confirmation” of the rescission of his contract as host of Wowowee.
“If you fail to answer within the time aforesaid, the plaintiff will take judgment against you by default and may be granted the relief applied for in the complaint”, the clerk of the QC Regional Trial Court Branch 84 said in the summons which was served August 31.
Revillame is asking for more than P11 million in damages and legal fees from ABS-CBN.
Willie was suspended for three months without pay, after he publicly asked the management to suspend Jobert Sucaldito over the latter’s attacks on him on his radio show.
Willie said that it was agreed on July 10 that he would return to Wowowee on 31 July. But during the meeting on July 20, he was told that the network had changed its mind and offered him a once-a-week show on Studio 23.
