WOWOWEE ISSUE: WILLIE VS ABS-CBN! SINONG NASA TAMA?

Big news ngayon sa showbiz ang press release ni Willie Revillame na gusto nang tapusin ang kontrata nito sa ABS-CBN na nakatakdang matapos sa Setyembre ng susunod na taon. Ilan sa mga dahilang ibinigay ng dating Wowowee host ay ang paglabag di umano ng ABS-CBN sa kasunduan nilang ibabalik siya sa Wowowee sa July 31. Hinanakit din ni Willie ang pagsira umano ng Network sa pangalan niya dahil sa mga inilalabas na balita laban sa kanya. Ngunit nilinaw ng aktor na wala siyang balak na kasuhan ng TV Network at nais lang nito na kanselahin na ang kontrata nila. Samantala narito ang pahayag ng ABS-CBN.

"ABS-CBN Corp. on Monday said it would not release Revillame from his contract obligations with the company.

In a statement, Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, reiterated the network’s previous stance that it is holding Revillame to his contract obligations until the agreement expires in September 2011.

He maintained that as an “aggrieved party,” ABS-CBN is the only one, not Revillame, that can decide whether to end the contract.

Below is the network's full official statement:

We take note of Willie Revillame's pronouncements in his press conference today.

Willie is bound to ABS-CBN by a contract until September 2011. He violated the behavioral provisions of his contract when he threatened the ABS-CBN management during the May 4, 2010 episode of Wowowee, with a resignation if management does not fire another artist of the network. His behavior was generally seen as a display of disrespect and arrogance, completely unacceptable to the Filipino public.

As the one who violated his contract, Willie has no right to have it unilaterally invalidated. Contracts are binding agreements that must be respected by the contracting parties involved. The one who violates the contract cannot be allowed to dictate whether it should continue or end. Otherwise, contracts will have no value and may be terminated based on whim.

ABS-CBN is the aggrieved party, and as such, is the only one that can decide to end the agreement.

Despite all that had happened, ABS-CBN was willing to continue with the contract. Willie however, refused to take responsibility for his actions.

ABS-CBN wishes to reiterate that it will hold Willie to his obligations under the contract which expires September 2011."

Sino kaya ang nasa tama? makatwiran kaya ang ginawang pagkansela sa programa ni Willie? Nararapat bang pakawalan na ng istasyon na tv Host? Ano sa tingin nyo?
