Wowowee rehearsal video about the scam issue leaked out (VIDEO)

In the height of TV Ratings tampering issue against AGB Nielsen Media Research Philippines, the "Wilyonaryo" controversial/scam segment from WoWowee resurface again.

Yesterday at EAT BULAGA, Joey and Vic announced that televiewers must visit the video-sharing site YouTube if they want to know the truth about the latest controversy.

Many thought it is about the current TV ratings issue but it turns out to be a new evidence against Channel 2's show Wowowee.

YouTube registered users "absmadaya" and "gaboikent" uploaded a video showing rehearsal of Wowowee. Willie and his crew is rehearsing in opening and closing the cover of a single gold wheel with 2 numbers (whether 5 or 0). A great possibility that they can choose who will win the prize or lose the prize.
Video after the jump...

From PEP:

A technical staff member of the show puts a gold wheel in the middle and Willie tells him, "Masikip talaga." The male staff member makes adjustments and helps him "operate" the gold wheel. Willie rehearses changing the number inside the gold circle. He opens the flap to reveal a portion of the number that makes it undeniably a number five, but then he closes the flap again and it appears to be the straight edge of a totally different number. But when Willie pulls it off completely, it is again a number five.

In the first scenario, Willie opens the gold wheel revealing a number 5, indicating that the contestant wins P500,000. The co-hosts and the backup dancers all rejoice at the good fortune. As the video continues, they also rehearse the scenario wherein a number zero is revealed using the same gold wheel. The contestant loses, to everyone's dismay.

"Wilyonaryo" is the controversial segment wherein Willie accidentally showed the wrong number in the jackpot portion of the August 20 episode of the noontime show. It also started the word war between Willie and fellow TV host Joey de Leon of rival program Eat Bulaga. The Kapamilya network explained that the mistake was a result of a "technical glitch." By October, Wowowee discontinued the segment and replaced it with the "Merrygalo" segment.

When asked to comment about this rehearsal video, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications Head Bong Osorio told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "That's an old issue. That has been going on for months, it stopped...We don't know why it's resurfacing. It's an old issue. It has been discussed lengthily in the tabloids, TV, and afternoon programs. It has quietly taken a back seat until this afternoon."

Ariani Noguiera is FHM Philippines November Cover Girl

Joey De Leon Fires Back!!!!!

Video Clip


Joey De Leon's came on firing. Joey is in Hong Kong, when Willie's outburst drama came up. He just arrive and his opening salvo when Eat Bulaga starts "Hindi ko kayo dadayain", teasing words from the noontime host. And he promise to the studio viewers and television viewers that he will give a speech at the end of the show. Exciting!!!
I'm sure Eat Bulaga todays rating will be very high. Many are expecting the speech that will come out from Mr. Joey De Leon. Reporters, viewers and even the rival noontime show (Wowowee) of Eat Bulaga will be watching. Especially me...

Tito Sotto announced that Joey will give his speech before the jackpot round of "On the spot Jackpot".

Joey Explain that a person is using him as a cover up for their controversy. Joey doesn't name any person or show(but we all know who is referring too). He just gave comments about the video(Wilyonaryo Controversy)that came out in the news, newspaper, television and internet(Youtube and others). He repeatedly explain that all of this is base on the video. And he ask his rival to explain the cheating incident coz' the Filipino audience want to know the truth.

Before Joey De Leon end his speech, he said," Try to cry with tears don't fake it".
And his advice to Willie, " EXPLAIN BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN".

Joey's speech is very clear and well said.

Willie Revillame cries Foul

After the latest controversy, the Wowowee host cries foul to noontime rival host Joey De Leon. He released his sentiment and anger. As we all know the controversy is about the "Wilyonaryo" segment in Wowoweee. In Willie's speech he also revive the stampede incident, and joey's action in that time. He even said he doesn't care about the ratings.

That's a big foolishness, a show to stay in air needs to produce a good ratings. Advertisers will only come in if your show is been watch by television viewers. ABS-CBN will surely cut or replace a show that is not watch by many.

If you will watch Eat Bulaga, the staff says "Mr. Joey De Leon never mention naming names". But his action is pointing to their noontime rival.

Actually if you will notice Willie's speech is also a form of a strategy. He is making the show controversy situation to a sympathy scenario.

UPDATE : Official Statement of ABS-CBN

"There was no cheating in the August 20 episode of ‘Wilyonaryo', the new game portion in Wowowee.

"There are two parts in ‘Wilyonaryo', the elimination and the final rounds. In the elimination round, the contestant won P37,000. In the final round, the contestant agreed to get the one hundred thousand pesos (P100,000) offered by Willie. This brought the contestant's total winnings to one hundred thirty seven thousand pesos (P137,000).

"The revelation of where the P2 million jackpot prize is happened after the contestant decided to get Willie's offer. Since 'Wilyonaryo' is a new game, a mechanical glitch occurred in the reveal portion.

"Wowowee assures all its supporters that all games and contests in the program are executed with transparency, fairness, and honesty.

"Wowowee will continue to give cheer, help, and fulfillment of the dreams of millions of viewers around the world."

We must watch Eat Bulaga today for Joey's reaction.
