    Willie to return on TV with refurbished show

    Willie Revillame (Jerome Ascano, NPPA Images)Willie Revillame (Jerome Ascano, NPPA Images)Willie Revillame will return on television on Saturday, May 14, with a new, refurbished primetime offering.

    In a statement sent to Yahoo! OMG! Philippines late Tuesday, May 10, TV5 announced that the show will be titled "Wil Time Bigtime," which will occupy the timeslot of its predecessor, "Willing Willie."

    The game show will also have Willie and Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad as the main hosts, the statement said. It did not mention, however, the inclusion of the other hosts in "Willing Willie" in the new show.

    "“Wil Time Bigtime is the people’s program. This show is created to entertain them, make them forget their problems even for a while, and possibly realize their dreams," Willie was quoted as saying in the statement.

    The statement added that the show will "showcase new games that will utilize an LED (light-emitting diodes) floor and new software technology for a whole new TV experience.

    "This brand new approach in local game shows is definitely a visual treat for all Filipinos. While brainstorming for new segments, we're keeping in mind that these new innovations on TV shall be incorporated in all the mechanics of the games to make sure that we offer something new for everyone," said Jay Montelibano, business unit head of "Wil Time Bigtime."

    “We’re very optimistic with what the new show has to offer. Wil Time Bigtime becomes TV5’s strongest link to the masses and we’re offering them a whole new TV viewing experience with the technology we’re utilizing in the show,” said Roberto V. Barreiro, TV5 Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

    The show will air at 5pm this Saturday and subsequent weeknights at 6:30pm on TV5.

      tsktsk hanggang ngayon marami pa ring apektadong-apektado sa buhay ni willie. tama na makapagbigay ng isa o dalawang komento pero pag nag-iinvest ka ng time+effort sa pagbibigay ng saloobin ukol sa buhay ng ibang tao... aba'y asikasuhin na lang natin buhay natin coz wala naman tayong aasahan talaga kundi sarili natin.. kaya walang asenso e, puro showbiz ;)
      • Ara Maxion 1 year 0 months ago
        Tama ka dyan kapatid! Magsumikap para umuunlad hindi yong makakasira tayo ng kapwa.natin. Galing din si willie sa hirap kaya naman siya nagsumikap at ng umasenso na hindi na mahirap sa kanya ang tumulong sa nangangailangan. God bless you!

      please do not delude yourselves: this game show does not help the poor. it may bring cash to a handful of the poor, but it is not helping the poor.

      hospitals who provide free or cheap medical care, cooperatives who sell products at low prices, schools who provide free/cheap education, centers who help impoverished individuals seek decent and stable jobs. these are the ones helping the poor. 95% who come out of this game show are still poor.
      • Bracketman 1 year 0 months ago
        Right. game shows are just temporary solutions. not for the long term
      • GUY M 1 year 0 months ago
        Are you trying to say that they cancel all game shows, you have a country that
        the majority of people who pass the nursing exam have to work in call centers to
        make a living. By the way do you do more for the poor than just pray for them,
        lip service is great if followed by actions.

        kayo ba ay nakatulong sa mga kababayan nyo? Kayo ba ay walang kasalanan?
    • JP  •  1 year 0 months ago
      Kayo na kay Willie, basta ako sa Team Princess Punzalan at Team Liz Almoro, pati na rin Team Jinkee.

      kahambugan = pinipilit ipasisante sina Pokwang at Sucaldito na para bang may-ari sya ng ABS. Walang respeto sa nagpapasweldo sa kanya.

      mas kahambugan = inaway sina Randy Santiago at John Estrada kasi ayaw nyang may pumalit sa lumang slot nya sa ABS. Sino ngayon ang nanggigipit? Nagtatrabaho lang sila at pinapakain ang pamilya nila tapos inaway na. Ang babaw ng pag-iisip

      Bilib ako sa idol nyo! Sa dami ng taong pwede nyong gawin idol, yun pang nandudunggol ng boobs sa TV

      • Callia Altero 1 year 0 months ago
        Tama. Unprofessional at kayabangan ng magalit siya sa mga taong nauna pa sa kanya sa showbiz, kung tunay siyang kaibigan dapat maging masaya nalang siya dahil may trabaho pa ring ibinibigay ang industriya nila para sa mga kaibigan niya kesa hintayin niyang lumapit sa kanya sinaa John at Randy para mangutang diba? Mayabang at walang respeto sa industriyang bumubuhay sa kanya,.

      IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE SHOW, CHANGE THE HOST, TOO!

      Even if you changed the name of the show everyday, still you can expect Willie to be rude, insensitive, @#$% and opportunistic. Because it his very bad egotistical habit (try to back track his pattern), that crept in him.

      Willie will only be tired of transferring from one to another TV Networks, and he will remain the same... because he is a hopeless prideful AND ARROGANT. His habits are VERY HARD TO BREAK!

      TV5, SHAME ON YOU FOR BRINGING HIM BACK! PWE!

      Ang mga away-away sa bawat TV network ay nawala na ang respect sa bawat isa, sana mawala na yong politics sa television.
    • guerrero L  •  1 year 0 months ago
      New title, but with old characters. I doubt the new name will change anything.
    • Spike  •  10 months ago
      Si Willie puro yabang lang yan at nag dudunong dunungan pero sa totoo lang walang alam yan. kung magtanong sa contestant kala mo alam niya ang sagot pero wag ka nakasulat na kasi yung sagot kaya alam niya
    • pennyblanca  •  1 year 0 months ago
      Changing the TITLE of the show is totally different from changing the HOSTS of the show. And bet nothing really is new on this one, bigger prizes (with funds coming from steady sponsors), maybe more games (i hope it won't really be too much as to rip off some pride of our fellow filipinos) and the same old arrogant willie revillame. I wonder what will it take for us to figure out what we are indeed supporting here.. is it the benefits we get out of the game show?or we simply can't let go of our support because of the influence of the hosts on us..
      whatever.. we all just wanted something that can be of help to our fellow filipinos..

      Crazy. The man commits an immoral act and they just change the name of his show and put him back in the spot light. That is insulting, and is basically saying they feel there are no other Filipinos that can do a better job than him....which is untrue.

      There is just something wrong with many Filipinos mindsets.... For example....

      Estrada steals money from the people, gets impeached, admits hes a crook, runs for re-election, and gets millions of people vote for him. He got the second highest amount of votes? Why would anyone ever vote for a confirmed crook? Did those voting for him feel there wasn't enough crooked politicians so they wanted more?

      Or take a look at Manny.... The man is a great boxer....one of the best ever. But that does not mean he would make a good policy maker. He ran for office and won simply because he is a celebrity. Since getting office have you heard him do one thing for the Filipino people? Any new rules submitted to end corruption, etc? Nope. Instead he continues boxing, and just collects a paycheck from the Filipino people for his political office.

      I love the Philippines, but the corruption in this country won't change until the majority of the population try to change it.

      Wake up and try to solve the problem, not just idolize celebrities! (and yes I know this will get a lot of thumbs downs from people that are offended by the statement, and refuse to see reality)

      tsk...tsk.. Willie will just LOL to everyone....because no matter how critical we are to him and no matter how evil he does, he's still winning...napag-uusapan sya that makes him more popular. and he is earning more, gaining more wealth. People see him as the most evil person in showbiz industry, and he likes it that is why he is not making any changes. Why, because that is the reason why he is a billionare now.... and it's a pity that there are TV network na tumutulong sa kanya to spread his evil plan. ABSCBN learned a lesson, TV5, when will you ever learn? that you are coddling a devil and you are now an accesory in spreading evil...tsk..tsk. :(

    • mysterion  •  1 year 0 months ago
      I've got no beef with each and every incarnation of Revillame's shows [never actually sat through any of them], but what rubs me the wrong way is this constant barrage of his/this 'Para Sa Pilipino' tag. Wait, what!

      Revillame and his army of handlers and spin doctors should take the high road and quit exploiting the gullible with their crooked 'Para Sa Pilipino' bull. Sure it's PR gold [no doubt about it], but until we all can see tangible evidence that these shows actually offer anything uplifting to the Filipino psyche, Revillame's 'Para Sa Pilipino' tagline is an empty, degrading promise that's a a slap to every self-respecting Filipino's face.

      sana hindi na bumalik sa ere si Willie dahil hindi siya nagsisilbing role model as a tv host. wala naman siyang gagawing maganda for sure. sinisira niya ang imahe ng isang mabuting tv host.
      marami pang mga artista na pwedeng pumalit sa kanya. kaya ABC 5, maghanap na kayo ng IBA!
