MANILA, Philippines (1st UPDATE) – Popular noontime show “Wowowee” will be replaced by a new game show led by Kris Aquino starting July 31, an ABS-CBN official announced Tuesday.
Aside from Aquino, “Pilipinas For the Win” will also be hosted by Robin Padilla and "Wowowee" female hosts Pokwang, Valerie Concepcion and Mariel Rodriguez, said Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications.
“It is a game and variety show that will surely bring joy, energy and hope to Filipinos all over the world,” Osorio said in a statement.
“'Pilipinas For The Win' will be managed by director Johnny Manahan, creative director Bobot Mortiz, business unit head Jay Montelibano, and executive producers Phoebe Anievas and Rancy Recato. It will be aired after 'Showtime,’” he added.
Osorio said the camp of Willie Revillame, the on-leave host of “Wowowee,” has been informed about the changes. He also confirmed that Revillame will be given a new TV show.
“'Pilipinas For The Win' will replace 'Wowowee.' Willie Revillame, through his manager, was already informed about this new development. He was also notified about the new program being planned for him and this will be announced in due time,” he said.
In May, Revillame went on indefinite leave following an outburst on "Wowowee" where he threatened to leave the show. It was triggered by fellow Kapamilya talent Jobert Sucaldito’s alleged non-stop criticisms of the noontime show.
Prior to Tuesday's announcement, speculations about Revillame’s return to “Wowowee” have spread. He would supposedly make a comeback on July 31.
Revillame, however, declined to confirm the reports. He merely shrugged his shoulder when recently asked by ABS-CBN News to confirm the rumors.
Television comeback
Aquino is expected to return from her vacation in the United States on Friday to give her time to prepare for the new afternoon television program.
In a message sent to ABS-CBN News, Aquino, who recently quit celebrity talk shows “The Buzz" and “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon,” said she is excited to be back on television.
"I'm happy to be part of the new noontime show, and to work with Robin, Pokwang, Mariel and the whole production team. I'm excited to be back on television," she said.
When sought for her reaction, Pokwang burst into tears when told about the new show. She said she is still waiting for the final instructions of the ABS-CBN bosses.
"Talagang nagulat ako. Wala akong kaalam-alam. Thank you. Salamat po," she said.
Concepcion’s talent manager, Becky Aguila, said the new show “is a big surprise.”
"This is a big surprise for us. We thank ABS-CBN management for the wonderful blessing,” Aguila said.
Padilla, who became the guest host of “Wowowee” for 2 weeks, was thankful to be given a new show on ABS-CBN.
"Masayang masaya ako pero hindi hamon ‘yon sa akin kundi pagsilbi sa tao. Wala akong hangad kundi mapaligaya ang mga kababayan ko sa lahat ng sulok ng daigdig," Padilla said. -Report from Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News

hehehe.... nice wla n c willie.. :)
under list of the tigbak shows.sayang pero ok na rin para bago sa mata.ang tanong kung kaya kayang tigbakin ang eat bulaga.maybe?sana eat bulaga mag reformat na rin
tae.. Inalis nga si willie, binalik naman si Kris, ang malanding babae. Nakakahiyang babae, kaya ayaw ng balikan si James dahil may lalaki na naman siya. Angkati niya..
Si willie naman will be back for another show in ABSCBN...
YUCK NAMAN. sana DORA at SPONGE BOB na lang ipalit sa wowowee.
hahaha..
wowowee with willie/ withou williw, pinataob ng eat bulaga??
oh, C'MON!
maybe pinataob sa Mega Manila, pero not in the PHILIPPINES.. i mean WHOLE PHILIPPINES.. i mean WHOLE WORLD!
with Mr. M as director
(starmaker/ the man behind the success of STAR MAGIC) this show will be good...
kaya tigbak kasi talo sa mega at national.'
tignan nalang nating kung kayang bang pataobin ang EB.'
talaga namang titigbakin na ang wowowee.
naghahanda lang sila ng bagong konsepto para matanggal na talaga ang mayabang na willie yan!
sabi-sabi lang na me game show na ipapalit para ke willie pero knowing abs eh hanggang plano na lang yan at malamang hanggang sa matapos na ang kontrata ni hambog! at tuluyan ng mapaalis sa network.
tanggapin ang katotohan, natanggal ang wowowee not because pinataob ng eb... talong talo na nga ang eb ng wowowee e... naging mayabang lang kasi si willie... thats the truth
lusot pa mga kapams.kitang kita na nga sa ratings eh, simula hanggang sa mga bilang ng araw ng wawawe,minsan lng umarangkada ang wawawe sa mega nong ka robin lng pero after that, lamay.kaya wag na lumusot pa kasi nakakahiya
TO ALL KAPUSO BRAGGERS:
Ok we'll see.
Anyways as quoted from Mr.BOng Osorio,
"We don't dwell on past. We deal on present and look into the future."
So sa mga nagbabrag dyan an 30years na yung EB at number nung nakaraan ang Kapuso station, come on mag move on na kayo. Hahaha.
Ang importante is yung ngayon at future.
Oh by the way ang stock price ng ABS-CBN na sinasabing madaming utang well pataas ng pataas. Just check the Philippine Stock Exchange website.
kaylang pinataob ng EB ang wowowee? ah sa ano pala AGB-GMA pollution toxic cannibalistic polpol rating...hahaahahahahahahaha nakakatawa ang mga kapusetset
pansin ko lang, bat ganyan ang title?
one more thing, the personalities of robin and kris are not the type na magka-clash, pero robin sa tingin ko is one of the many showbiz personalities na madaling maaagawan ng scenes ni kris...
@numan
baklang plastikada
Wag dapat ipagmalaki nang mga Kapuso ang EB kasi hindi naman GMA ang nag produce nito.
TAPE inc ang nagproproduce nang EB so di nila dapat inaangkin ito. Bumibili lang sila nang airtime sa GMA.
Wala kasing kakayahan mag produce ang GMA nang mga noontime variety shows. Kund meron man sure flop yan.
Basta para sakin good movefor ABS...Yan naman talaga gusto ko sana gawin na lng nila para matapos na kayabangan ni willie. Di sya bagay sa live shows. Impulsive sya masyado at hilig mamahiya ng co-hosts.Sayang nga lng at matagal na rin kasi sa ere ang wowowee. Well, kasalanana ni Willie yan, aminin man nya o hindi
