This is just so disgusting. Willie Revillame, you are the lowest of the low.

I watched this video of a six year boy crying as he danced in Willie Revillame’s show. Watch as Willie laughs and picks on the poor boy (removed video now)

My heart just goes out to him.

My friend, a mother herself asks :

What have we become as a people if we consider the humiliation of a helpless six year old boy as entertainment? Of course the issue also goes back to the family — why in heaven’s name would you teach a six year old to dance that way? My heart broke as I watched the expression on this little boy’s face.

@iamhappyamy tells me in Twitter” @momblogger a kid gyrating like a macho dancer, willie making fun of him, the audience enjoying – truly sickening!” @yeahred adds “Letting a kid dance sensually on national television (and enjoying it) is very inhuman. Willie Revillame, you’re such a disgrace.”

And the way Willie Revillame laughed like crazy. I cried as I watched the boy dance and cry at the same time. Even the aunt is laughing. You find it entertaining to see a six year old boy cry as he is forced to dance?

Isn’t this a violation of the “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act” Section 3 (b)?

(b) “Child abuse” refers to the maltreatment, whether habitual or not, of the child which includes any of the following:

(1) Psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment;

(2) Any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of a child as a human being;

What Willie did is humiliate this boy repeatedly in front of millions of people. Where is the dignity in that? Why does he subject Jan-Jan who is obviously crying, to that kind of torture. The adults who taught him to dance that way? Ugh, the very same people responsible for his well-being.

Benjamin Pimental adds “Heck, let’s be more direct on this: We have a big problem if it’s OK for most people to let a big shot TV host treat a child like garbage.”

@gangbadoy hopes “ad executives, brand managers, people who pay for media airtime will STOP sponsoring shows that poke fun at kids. Advertisers, power! Advertisers more than the critics – have the power to sink a show. Pull out of advertising this show. Detergents, dish soaps- kaya nyo.”

A friend told me the Wiling Willie show is allegedly sponsored by the following: P&G’s Head & Shoulders, UFC Cook & Dip Catsup, Oishi Cookies, Smart C Drinks, Jollibee’s Mang Inasal, Unilever’s Rexona, Pepsodent, Vaseline, Surf Liquid Detergent, Glutamax Face Cream, Pau Liniment, Yakult, CDO Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino, Technomarine, Will Tower Mall, Daily Spell fragrance, Wil Cologne, Protec-Cee, Foton Automobile, Manny Villar’s Camella Homes, Cebuana lhuiller.

TV 5 are your proud of your biggest star who picked on this little boy?

The station, the advertisers, producers and all people involved in this show should be ashamed.

There are no words. Grabe!

Here is a letter to Jan-Jan.

What did others think? All are disgusted.

    ika ni Willie, bawa’t isa raw sa mga contestant na nag-oodisyon sa show niya ay inaasikaso niya
    because he aTRULY cares for everybody na mahihirap
    at kinikilala niya ang mga ito ng husto.
    pero ito si Jen jen – wala raw siyang kamalay malay na ganoon daw ang gagawin nung bata.
    isa pa: ang dahilan ni willie ay “eh kasi yun ang ginusto ng mga magulang ni Jenjen na gawin niya!!”
    kung gusto pala ng mga magulang na bigyan ng kahihiyan ang kanilang mga anak
    eh OKAY NA RIN KAY WILLIE yun.
    ganun siya tumulong sa mahihirap.
    basta mabigayn lang ng pera, pagtawanan ng ibang tao, mapasaya ang manonood (na otro rin mga walang pakialam kung panay kahihiyan nag ginagawa ng kontestant) hala ay sige na!
    yun na ang OKAY.
    eh kailangan nila ng pera eh. sige na.
    kahit nakakahiya. kahit mawalan ako ng dignidad.
    OKAY NA YUN. walang halaga ang dignidad. o respeto. o integridad.
    basta mayroong pera – okay.
    Ganoon na po ang buhay nating mga Pilipino.
    ganoon ang itinataguyod ng ABC 5 sa sang bayanan na nagmamahal DAW kay Willie.
    basta magkapera lang – di bale na ang ibang mga bagay sa buhay.

    ANG tanong ko: ALISIN KAYA SI WILLIE SA TV, PATULOY PA KAYA NIYA GAGAWIN ARAW ARAW ANG MAMIGAY NG PERA SA MAHIHIRAP DAHIL”GUSTO LANG NAMAN NIYA TALAGA MAKATULONG SA MAHIHIRAP?!!!!!”

    Mr Manny V Pangilinan,
    sa dami rin ng kinikita mong salapi
    sana mamigay ka rin naman ng pera sa mahihirap tulad ni Willie
    araw araw
    tutal kung kinukunsinti mo rin naman itong show ni Willie at ang lahat ng mga ginagawa niya rito – na palagiang ipagtatanggol niyang gawin sa kadahilanang nais niya lang makatulong sa mqahihirap -
    tularan niyo na rin po si Willie.

    kasi kung KSP rin ho kayo tulad marahil ni Willie eh hindi naman po halata dahil mas nuuna po sa kaalaman – o kamangmangan – ng karamihang pilipino ang inyong husay sa negosyo.
    dahil po sa pagtataguyod niyo sa mga palabas ng ABC5 na tila naaayon rin sa inyong panlasa na wari ko’y katanggap tanggap para sa inyong sarili,
    ay ito na nga ay kagustuhan niyo na rin, hindi naman po masama na sabayan niyo na rin si Willie sa gawin niyang “para sa sambayanan”.
    baka sakali makatulong pa po ito sa tunay na pag unlad ng ating bansa.
    at nang lahat ng mahihirap ay magkapera na rin tulad niyo.
    salamat po in advance.
    kung hindi niyo naman po maintindihan ang tagalog ko dahil nga atenista kayong tunay – magsabi lang po ang i am Willieng to translate this email in the Atenean language whihc surely you will perhaps be more well versed with, having been educated in the environment whihc embraces the norm of being “men for others”. (no women for you)

    i agree with the rest to BOYCOTT
    not just the show – BOYCOTT THE ENTIRE NETWORK.ABC 5.
    nothing of substance either to watch there.
    Manny Pangilinan is great at buying companies.
    running them competently is not his expertise though.
    ABC 5 is run by grossly incompetent people who know very little re the industry.
    with the bulk of money he put in it, it should be rating well already
    but it isn’t – not with the quality of programming put in.
    its mostly recycled material.
    mga “latak” lang.
    let’s still all find some good in this

    To sum it up, Willie is definitely a “bobo” one! He’s not aware of everything. Lahat ng act nya ay para sa taong di marunong mag-isip.

    tsokey lang po na tangkilikin niyo si Willie at ang kanyang programa.
    walang dapat umawat sa inyo kung pareho ang values ninyo sa kanya.

    para pagtawanan ng host ang pagtratrabaho ng ama ng bata sa parlor
    ay isang malinaw na pag yurak sa dignidad ng kapwa tao. yung bata na mismo ang sumagot na isang “marangal na hanapbuhay” yung pagtratrabaho na kanyang ama sa parlor.
    hindi narinig ni Willie ito o higit lalo hindi niya “carry”. sa halip ay laong pinagtawanan yung bata. malinaw na pang aapi iyon.
    sa iyo siempre hindi. sa iyo ay okay lang iyon.
    tulad mo marahil hindi saklaw ng kaisipan ni Willie ang dignidad sa paghahanap buhay ng marangal dala at gamit ang sariling pagod at kakayahan kahit sa parlor ang gawaing marangal.
    hindi ito hanap-awa tulad ng show na nagmumudmod ng pera doon sa taong yumakap lamang sa host or sa batang kung anu anong kamangmangan lamang ang pinapayagang gawin para masamsam ang pag abot at pagtanggap ng salaping hindi naman pag aari ng host kahit na ang pinalalabas niya ay sa kanya iyon.
    tama ka ‘dre. “ang gusto lang ni willie ay ang makatulong” …. para tumaas ang rating ng show at lalo siiyang sumikat … gamit ang pera na hindi naman sa kanya at pera ng sponsor na ipinamimigay niya na pinalalabas niyang galing pa sa kaibuturan ng kanyang hitk sa salapi at mapang-awa puso.
    para daw sa sang bayanang nagmamahal sa kanya.
    sa pilipinas rin naman po ako nakatira.
    ngunit hindi ako yayakap sa host ng show para mabigyan ng pera.
    hindi ko kailangan tangkilikin ang taong huhugutin ang kahihiyan sa pagkatao ko para maabutan ako ng salapi na hindi naman sa kanyang pag aari.
    maghahanap buhay ako ng marangal para kumita ng salapi.
    hindi ko gagawing kasangkapajn ang maralita or ang pagkamaralita ng kapwa ko para mahaling ako at tangkilikin ng manonood. at tanhalin akong sikat na mapagbigay ng pera hindi akin at para lamang sa pag angat ng rating.
    hihikayatin ko mai-angat ang kapwa ko at mahango sa kanyang kahirapan – hindi ang rating ng aking network.
    tama ka ‘dre … mag isip isip … ikaw lalo. mabilis ka mag husga
    habang masinsin kang manood pero hindi saklaw ang iyong paningin ang katotohanan na may tunay na halaga.
    lalo ka rin tumama sa iyong paghusga na sa magulang nga ang paggagalingan ang halaga na sangakap ng pagkatao ng mga bata.
    kaya sige na. kasuhan mo na ang iyong mga magulang.

    the host just claimed and declared that he interviews each and every contestant in the show before they are allowed to appear before the camera.
    besides, why dont YOU first learn to write correct inglis!

    i watched the whole portion from beginning to end on the day it was aired.
    i have nothing against willie as a person. he is entitled to whoever or whatever he decides of himself to be as a person. what i am against is the values he promotes and manner with which he handles his job as host.
    to be condescending at the employment of a person in a parlor is neither a right nor a justifiable choice for anyone hosting a program.
    the host IS the sole responsible entity for what can or cannot transpire in the show. he has full control. that is likewise carry a huge responsibility. it takes quickness of mind, sharpness of sensitivity and sound sense of propriety. jen jen was asked to do his stuff TWICE and in both instances he was in tears – before the aunt was emotional and after the same tita was given the 3k for the “embrace” whereupon Willie once more asked the boy to perform the same dance. you may have an excuse with “hmmm yung video kasi yung part lang ata na umiiyak yung bata …” tipong di mo nga huli yung dapat ma-arok sa pangyayari.
    as you stated “ATA”. di ka syur.
    just like most who have comments blurt out, you too profess speed at who to blame.
    try being faster at finding solutions BRO.
    maybe your involvement transforms to substance similar to that of your desired implications – which you can either do yourself or “be”.

    this “CRAP” you refer to in simple terms is spelled “KSP”.
    deep-seated i believe.
    Willie may have had a very unhappy or even “injured” childhood life.
    just like many amongst us walking with a “crippled” spirit from out of that pained existence of yesteryears.
    and furthermore i agree with you – we value the impression we share with ther est of the world of our country.
    that is because WE CARE.
    Willie doesn’t.
    neither does ABC 5.
    they’re always in it for themselves.
    know this and ingrain this NOW.
    be guided by this consciously when ever you flick the switch on your TV remote.
    transform your viewing acdg to how you live your life.
    not vice-versa.

    in the first place why does any producer or manager of the network ever get willie at all? for ratings? pity what a rating can do. there are a lot who can do better. filipinos can do better! willie is only encouraging people to be poorer and to beg and put drama to their life to get other peoples sympathy,dont give people their bread,instead teach them to work for their bread. lalo lang tayong nagiging pitiful by this! willie r. i dont know you pero i know somewhere their in your heart there is good!

    in the first place why do producers or managers of the networks get willie? for ratings? pity what a rating can do to a network,but think about what the effects are on the society…especially the people patronizing their shows,their the masses,for willie he is helping people have hope but dig deeper,IT’S NOT, its only encouraging people to beg, dont give people their bread teach them how to make them. maybe he is just helping,giving hope to the lesser, i dont know what his intentions are but look what is happening to our society. his adding insult to iinjury. we already have so much to bear, a filipino have so much to bear,disgrace shouldnt be one of them willie. a child, an innocent child, pity also to the parent of the boy who let this happen..i dont know willie r. but i know somewhere there in your heart,there’s good in you. anong meron ka at di ka maalis sa industria?tsk tsk…pity
