TV5 co-host of ‘Willing Willie’ Shalani Soledad city councilor of Valenzuela expressed her support to Willie Revillame for his controversial issue of the alleged child abuse.
Willie Revillame has drawn criticism from Loretta Ann Rosales, chief Commission on Human Rights, Dinky Soliman Secretary of Social Welfare, fellow performers and citizens due to alleged abuse incidents during the episode in the show of ‘Willing Willie’ that involved a 6-year-old boy, ‘Jan-Jan’ who have performed a macho dancing in exchange for P10,000.
Soledad said during the interview that she supported Revillame all the way, and hoping that the latter will continue to help Filipinos by the show.
Revillame formally announced last Friday after a major advertisers pulled out from “Willing Willie” that he would take a 2-week break and to think about whether to return to the show.
