No Willing Willie show starting April 11

Last April 8, Willie Revillame, the controversial host of Willing Willie show of TV5, said that he will be on leave from the show starting April 11 until the Holy Week (Good Friday will fall on April 22, 2011). Willie said that the show was not suspended by Philippine's tv/movie board (MTRCB) and that he will not apologize from anyone. He said that he will take sabbatical to have time to think if he should still go back to the showbiz industry. Willie was accused of "child abuse" by some sectors on Willing Willie's episode where a 6-year old child, Jan-Jan, was doing a "macho dancing". Major sponsors of the show, including Jollibee Foods Corporation and Procter and Gamble, have withdrawn their advertisements following the said controversial episode. The last live show of Willing Willie was shown last Friday, April 8, 2011. (source:www.mb.com.ph)
