Veteran TV host defended Willie Revillame on the latest controversy involving the TV host after the Court of Appeals ordered to arrest Willie Revillame for child abuse and exploitation. Boy Abunda noted during his show the young boy named Jan-jan was not abused by the controversial TV host, Willie Revillame.
According to Boy Abunda, Willie Revillame should not be the sole party to be blamed on the incident. The TV host was quoted as saying “I’ll be very frank: para sa akin, the six-year-old boy was not abused by Willie Revillame. Para sa akin… I think this should be discussed by the whole country… tanungin natin: ano ba ang ginagawa noon ni Jan-jan? Sino ang kanyang kasama? Anong klaseng mga sayaw at mga awitin ang itinuturo natin sa ating mga anak?” Abunda opined.
The veteran celebrity host, Boy Abunda also said that Filipinos should challenge themselves to questinthe kind of culture that the children were being exposed to, adding that it was unfair for Willie to be blamed for the “cultural disease” which was afflicting the countr.
Boy Abunda also said that after watching the interviews of the boy in the past, the young boy, Jan-jan, was not forced and the audience even cheered him on during his performance.
Willie Revillame’s camp, however, said that the host has already posted bail for the charges filed against him.
I salute and commend you Mr. abunda about your article. Not because you defended Willie Revillame { i am one of his fanatic fan } but because you told the truth about that kind of cultural desease in our country.
It happened that i’ve watched that whole episode of the show, I admit that I was nalaswaan din ako @ ang crowd ay nagsisigawan sa tuwa and Willie was carried by the reception of the audience not thinking na may mga taong na offend din , dahil nga nandoon pa rin yong kinagisnan nating mga pilipino na medyo conservative.
But you pointed out @ sana ang mga kinauukulan ay makita nila @ magsilbing aral. Sana hindi ito political propaganda.
Thank you Sir for opening the eyes of some if not all.
