Willie Revillame
TV host-comedian Willie Revillame recently shared his two cents about people who have violent reactions to celebrities transferring to other networks.
During the recent episode of "Wowowin," the seasoned singer-actor welcomed Johnny "Mr. M" Manahan for joining the GMA 7 family as a consultant.
Willie deemed the founder of Star Magic as “one of the pillars of TV broadcasting.”
"My director for almost four years in ABS-CBN, 'Wowowee,' my mentor... Ito ay talagang dignified man, simple man. Kumbaga, andun siya, e, hindi nagsasalita ng hindi totoo, good adviser. Welcome to your homecoming home. Homecoming, kasi dito ka naman nagsimula talaga kay 'Uncle Bob,' di ba?”
Willie was referring to the 1970s children’s show "Uncle Bob Lucky 7 Club" where Mr. M started his career as a singer.
“Marami kang magagawa’t matutulungan dito ang GMA Artist.”
Later, he talked about the other stars who also transferred networks.
“Well, nandito na si Bea, John Lloyd is doing a sitcom here. And then, marami pa naging guest na natin, si Xian Lim, naging guest na natin si Jessy Mendiola... Well, abangan niyo ho, I’m sure maganda hong mga proyekto ang gagawin nila rito," he said.
Then added: "Alam mo ang dapat sa isang istasyon, nagtutulungan. Paganda nang paganda ang mga programa dito. Yung mga teleserye dito, pinapaganda po. So, di ba, dapat wala ho tayong mga kompetisyon na ganyan ho eh. Hindi ito ang panahon para tayo maging ... Kung magdesisyon ang mga artistang lumipat, may sari-sarili tayong buhay, sari-sariling desisyon. So, pabayaan natin kung saan sila masaya, di ba?”
