For weeks we have been hearing of the "macho dancing boy Jan-Jan" issue in Willing Willie. According to the reports and critics the 6 year old child was subjected to child abuse. It is assuring to learn that the government agencies like the DSWD and the CHR have actively looked into the case and conducted their respective investigations and extended assistance to verify the truth of the allegations. The MTRCB has also suspended the show to deter further mongers. This video is an excerpt of the 8 April 2011 airing of Willing Willie where Willie explained his side. Please watch and listen to hear both sides.
I am not a Willie Revillame fan ever since but I think he has a point. What we see on TV is just fraction of the whole picture because there are unrecorded statements and unseen actions behind the camera. He should not be judged for a single act, give him the benefit of the doubt for the truth will prevail after the results of the investigation will be revealed. His charisma really captures the heart of the children and their grandparents, that is undeniable. However, I cannot still accept the arrogance which surrounds this person. It is evident in this video. Sometimes he just needs to be reminded that not because he has the money, he can say and do everything he wants at the expense of other people's feelings and self worth. For some, they would do all things to get money to support their families' sustenance but this should not be an avenue for others to abuse their rights for the sake of ratings. If people laugh at your joke, it does not mean that it is right. If people laugh even more, you should reconsider your act for it may have negative implications to the one laughed at. You have your own view, you have your own opinion, you have something to say. :-)
