DSWD: 6 yr old boy "abused" in Wiling Willie

[valskie01]

willie has no moral ascendancy. allowing and even encouraging the boy to dance like that. pwede naman niyan pigilan yun bata. He should even rebuke the parents for teaching or allowing their son to dance like that.

hahaha

hey there are people who will sell you one of their kidneys for less than 100T

amazing the things people do for money

[Burai]

this issue is not about being malinis or pag mamalinis.
nor this doesn't mean that if we disagree with that child's dance eh nagmamalinis kami.
it's also about doing things in the right place and in the right time. that's not even decent for a child to do at their current age.
ang kikitid mag isip ng mga nag thumbs up sa isa sa mga comments sa link niyan sa youtube pag open mo pa lang. always saying nagmamalinis ang nag o-oppose.
parang binenta mo na rin anak mo to *** addicts kung ikaw yung parent. now, try to be the parent of that child, kumbaga ilagay mo pwesto mo sa pwesto nila pero anak mo naman ang nasa stage nung willine willie, sige go!

Willie Revillame has become filthy rich by letting poor people do filthy things on TV. He has taken advantage of their desperation and robbed them of their dignity.

But as long as he can make the advertisers salivate and put in huge amounts as sponsors, TV5 will make sure that their "cash cow" will continue with his shameless way. Lets face it, people love freak shows and Willie's is the biggest one in town. One of the sad facts of life that we must learn to deal with.

gagapangin lang ni menyak yan ... bigyan ng salapi ... hindi na uli magpapa-interview ang pamilya

tama! hay naku, di na sila natuto kay WBR.

[junerski]

i usually visit the orphanage in boystown and kapag may mga presentation sila, mga ***y rin sinasayaw nila gaya nung mga sayaw ng ***bomb at kung ano ano pang dance groups... ang mga bata ngayon kakaiba na eh, madali mag absorb ng mga nakikita nila... malas lang ni willie na on national tv nakita ang pagsayaw ng bata...

pero masyado petty ang problema para pagaksayahan pa ng panahon. ang dami pulubi sa kalye bakit hindi nila matulungan yun. sa malacanang lang, sa gate ng jp laurel isang katutak pulubi dun, hindi ba nakikita ni pnoy yun o ni dinky?! yung nanay na inuutusan ang anak magbenta ng sampaguita, diba abuse na rin yan. masyado sensationalized lang itong panibagong issue kay willie.

Fastfood chain suspends ads on 'Willing Willie'

MANILA, Philippines—(UPDATE 2) Jollibee Foods Corporation is suspending ad placement on TV5 game show "Willing Willie" amid a child abuse controversy, its media office said.

“Mang Inasal will be holding off ad placements from ‘Willing Willie’ this week,” the JFC Corporate Media announced Saturday on its Facebook page.

The announcement came as the drive to boycott products of the top-rating show’s advertisers gains support on various social media sites.

In a letter sent to Froilan Grate of Facebook group Para Kay Jan-jan (Shame on you Willie Revillame), JFC media representative Pauline Lao said the giant food conglomerate was “aware of the issues and the various sentiments raised” following the show’s March 12 episode, which featured a macho dancing six-year-old boy.

Lao said the corporation, which packages itself as family friendly, was keeping tabs on TV5’s investigation, stressing that it "remains committed to upholding the welfare of children."

“We trust that the appropriate and expert institutions will also respond and look into this matter with urgency,” the JFC official said.

The boy, a contestant in the game show, was seen in tears as he was repeatedly egged on to simulate a striptease to the delight of program host Willie Revillame and the studio audience. It caused uproar on the Internet.

The government condemned the episode, with the Commission on Human Rights saying it was studying the possibility of filing legal charges against those responsible for the "child abuse."

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board has said it received numerous complaints after seeing the show and would review the episode for appropriate action.

Social Welfare Secretary castigated the fast-rising broadcast station and Revillame for making the young contestant from a poor family “gyrate distastefully” in exchange for P10,000 in prize money.

Lao, meanwhile, clarified that JFC’s other fastfood chains—Jollibee, Chowking, Greenwich and Red Ribbon—"do not have ad placements in the Willing Willie program."

Activist lawyer Ipat Luna reminded advertisers Thursday that they play a crucial role in "shaping the national soul" and urged them to “pull out of Willie's show as a first step."

"If poverty is the excuse for losing one's dignity, I think companies like yours are in the best position to show that dignity can be had despite poverty and Willie's show flies in the face of that possibility," she said in her letter to the companies, which also include Oishi, Yakult, Unilever, Bench, Camella–A Vista Land Company, CDO Karne Norte, Belo Medical Group, and Cebuana Lhuillier.

Oishi responded to Luna’s letter, describing the incident as “regretful,” and added that “we hope [this] will not happen again.”

“While we, as advertisers, do not control the actual execution and their artists during the show, we also want to do our part to avoid these unfortunate incidents,” Oishi said. The snack firm also said it was reviewing possible actions which "can yield actual, positive results."

On Wednesday, TV5 television network said it was conducting a “thorough investigation” of the incident.

Sana lang nga eh wag tayo magmalinis...kasi if we were in a very tight financial situation...baka mag-burlesque tayo just to earn money for our family....even on national TV.

Kahit yung mga drug mules sa China yan din ang rason. Kumita ng pera para sa pamilya. Sell your dignity for easy money.

i usually visit the orphanage in boystown and kapag may mga presentation sila, mga ***y rin sinasayaw nila gaya nung mga sayaw ng ***bomb at kung ano ano pang dance groups... ang mga bata ngayon kakaiba na eh, madali mag absorb ng mga nakikita nila... malas lang ni willie na on national tv nakita ang pagsayaw ng bata...

There was a time na walang ***y/beerhouse dancers sa mga noontime shows. Sino ba ang nagpauso nun na umiimpluwensya sa kabataan? tingin ko, may malalim pa na problema yan na umuugat sa pangit na kulturang pinoy.

TV5 vows reforms, may not be enough for MTRCB

Facing widespread public rebuke for alleged “child abuse" on its show Willing Willie and possible government sanctions, ABC TV5 has imposed a moratorium on contests and game shows involving minors.

The network’s chief operating officer Robert V. Barreiro also informed the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) at a hearing Monday that his company will follow stricter guidelines on the appearance and performance of minors on all TV5 programs.

The case involving six-year-old boy Jan-Jan Estrada dancing in tears on Willing Willie to a cheering studio audience last March 12 has brought condemnation of the television episode and calls for reform in television programming from government agencies like the Commission on Human Rights and the Department of Social Welfare and Development, as well as groups such as the United Nations Children's Education Fund (UNICEF) and World Vision Philippines.

According to the MTRCB web site, Barreiro said the network has appointed an internal Ombudsman to entertain complaints regarding offensive programs. The network’s Ombudsman will also designate representatives to supervise all auditions of TV5 programs.

Furthermore, he added that his network has created a Standards Advisory Board composed of, among others, a psychologist, a creative director, and a children’s communications expert. He also said that TV5 has engaged the services of a team of psychologists to attend to Jan-Jan’s needs.

But TV5 stopped short of punishing the program Willing Willie or its controversial host Willie Revillame, as the MTRCB is demanding.


“ABC TV5 should be able to impose punitive sanctions on the program [Willing Willie] and its hosts, which can range from a reprimand to a cancellation of the TV program itself, in the spirit of self-regulation," said the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board in its “Third Briefer on 'Willing Willie' (Child Abuse Case)" posted Monday evening on its website.

MTRCB Chairperson Mary Grace Poe Llamanzares added in her statement: “Still, the sufficiency of any such sanctions shall be subject to final determination by the Hearing and Adjudication Committee, and the approval of the Chairman."

The MTRCB's Hearing and Adjudication Committee held a preliminary conference hearing Monday afternoon on “the complaint of a child abuse scene in the 12 March 2011 episode of 'Willing Willie'," stressing that “the MTRCB is determined to resolve expeditiously this case of paramount importance."

The Committee also required “the immediate submission of the Investigation Report of ABC TV5’s internal Ombudsman no later than Thursday, 07 April 2011, at the continuation of the preliminary conference hearing."

Calls for sanctions have been heard from various sectors since the controversy erupted two weeks ago.

In a March 28 letter to ABC chairman Manny Pangilinan, Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman wrote, “it is unmistakable that what happened last 12 March 2011 to Jan-Jan Estrada was child abuse."

Media columnists, entertainment celebrities such as Monique Wilson, Aiza Seguerra and Jim Paredes, and elected officials including Quezon Rep. Erin Tanada and Coop-NATCCO Party-list Rep. Cresente Paez have also called for punitive measures against the show's producers. – YA/HS, GMA News
