Willie Revillame (MNS Photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) –Willie Revillame has cleared the issue about them allegedly asking payment from audience members before entering the studio. Reports have it that supposedly, 100 audience members from Taguig were made to pay for studio access by a “Wowowin” staff. According to Willie, there was no such thing. “’Wag ho kayo maniniwala na meron kaming staff na nanghihingi ng ganito, na magbibigay kayo ng ganitong pera. Wala po kaming ganoon. Lahat po ng staff namin nandito lang sa loob ng studio. Dito lang kayo i-e-entertain. ’Wag po kayong magbibigay ng kahit magkanong halaga dahil hindi po totoo ’yan. Hindi po namin gagawin ’yun na manghingi ng pera… at hindi ho kami gagawa ng isang bagay na hindi ho tama,” he said. Willie pointed out that it’s the show’s goal to help people and not the other way around. “Kaya nga ho ang ginagawa ko, binabalik ko ’yung mga pamasahe niyo. Nagbibigay ako ng 10,000 sa bawat grupo, nagbibigay ng regalo kasi alam ko naman ho na gumagastos kayo. Binabalik ko lang naman ’yun pero wala kayong babayaran dito. Sa pagpasok po rito sa GMA, wala ho. Aalagaan namin kayo, iingatan namin kayo,” he said. Meanwhile, “Wowowin” reached its first year anniversary on May 10. The show has transferred to its new home in GMA Network’s Studio six. “At home na talaga. Una itong studio sa GMA-7, nandito na tayo. Sobrang komportable sa lahat especially sa ating mga Kapuso at kababayan na manonood halos araw-araw,” Willie Read More …

(MNS photo) MANILA  (Mabuhay) – Amid the claim of Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. that he will win the vice presidential race, leading VP contender and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo on Wednesday expressed fears of a repeat of the alleged cheating in the 1986 snap elections. In an interview with reporters in Naga City, Robredo spoke against Marcos’ supposed “mind-conditioning” technique, saying she wonders why the Marcos camp is claiming a lead of more than 100,000 votes based on their internal tally of certificates of canvass (COCs). “Sa akin lang ano, sana wala silang binabalak na pandaraya na gagawin sa canvassing. Kasi yung winoworry ko ngayon, klaro naman yung numero pero parang mina-mind condition nila,” Robredo said. “Kasi alam naman natin na may history na ganun. Hindi natin makakalimutan yung nangyari nung 1986 na siguro kung hindi nag walk out yung mga tabulators baka nadaya nga tayo,” she added. Robredo was referring to the so-called “Comelec 35” or 35 computer programmers and technicians who walked out during the tabulation of the snap elections between Marcos’ father, the late President Ferdinand Marcos, and the late President Corazon Aquino. The protest was one Read More …

Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte arrives to a cheering crowd for his campaign sortie in Tondo, Manila on Tuesday. Duterte kicked off his 90-day campaign addressing Tondo residents, mostly migrants from Visayas and Mindanao, with a promise of decentralizing development in the country.(MNS photo) MANILA  (Mabuhay) – Incoming president Rodrigo Duterte said he would be a “working president” who would pay no mind to criticisms against him. “I have been in politics for 23 years, I’ve learned to accept garbage and divine light from others. Para sa akin, I would just like to be a working president,” Duterte said. Asked on whether he would like to be loved or feared by people, Duterte, without hesitation, said, “I really do not care who hates me.” “Yung criticism, good or bad, true or not, is part of the territory of governance,” he said, even joking that in his years in politics, he was seldom portrayed in good light. “You know very well, that I’ve been in the government in the past 22 years, kailan pa ba ako nagmukhang anghel sa inyo?” Duterte said. However, Duterte, who ruled Davao City with an iron hand for years, said he would respect the opinions of those who are against him, even within the government. “I  may disagree [with] what you say but I will defend your right to say it. We are in a democracy,” he said. Meanwhile, he explained his somewhat uncouth manner of presenting himself in the public during the campaign period, saying Read More …
