Here is the press release of Unilever regarding their pulling out sponsorship from Willie Revillame's show and other live game shows.
This is to make public a set of actions taken by Unilever Philippines after an incident in a popular TV show a few weeks ago. The incident featured a 6-year old boy doing a dance number as part of a reality game show.
We recognised that this incident has drawn mixed reactions from different sectors in the society.
In Unilever Philippine’s view, it was a serious incident and as a result, we acted by immediately engaging the network authorities, expressing our serious concern and demanded assurance that similar incidents would not happen again.
TV5, the network, has apologized to us and committed to a series of “self-regulation” measures including the appointment of an internal ombudsman to supervise stricter program guidelines and impose a moratorium on the presence of kids in their live reality shows until a complete investigation is finished. This seems to have been validated by MTRCB as per article published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on April 6, 2011, Page F3.
We see all these actions as positive steps, but we also look forward with great interest to the prospect of MTRCB strengthening regulations on content across all live game shows and making clear the potential sanctions for erring programs.
In support of the above, Unilever Philippines has decided;
1. To temporarily suspend effective Monday, April 11, 2011, our participation in ALL reality-based live game shows across all networks. This measure will be in place until we observe stricter and objective self regulatory guidelines across networks and proper enforcement by the relevant government agencies of existing content regulations.
2. We will actively seek for PANA’s (Philippine Association of National Advertisers) involvement and leadership to help the networks develop a strict and consistent self-regulatory framework. We expect this to be in place no later than one month.
3. In all these, Unilever Philippines actions are oriented to:
a. protect the rights of contestants (especially women and children),
b. provide responsible content for TV viewers, and
c. ensure a safe communications environment for sponsors and brands.
With these actions, we expect something good will come out of this incident.
Unilever Philippines will continue to positively influence the media landscape and work on strengthening our long-standing partnership with all TV networks.

This means we won't be able to see UNILEVER ADS on Showtime, Family Feud, Eat Bulaga, HYY, WW and The Price is Right starting Monday.
i assume only showtime, price is right and willing willie are done live?
alam ko taped ang EB, HHY at family feud...
isa pa, EB and HHY are not games shows, are they? variety show ata sila
Mas nakakatakot talaga pag mawala ang UNILIEVER. Sila kasi ang number 1 sa lahat ng advertisers pumapangalawa lang ang P&G.
Both of their products may sponsorship sa EB,HYY,SHOWTIME at WILING WILLIE.
tadtad pa naman ng surf at sunsilk commercials ang EB, HHY at Showtime..
Sa April 11 pa effective ang pullout. WW is also a variety show like HYY and EB. Let's just see on Monday.
GALING TALAGA NI WILLIE SA KANYANG STATEMENT KANINA. BINUNYAG ANG KASAMAAN NG ABS CBN.
BOOOOOOOOH ABS CBN

GOING BULILIT is a gag show, TANGA! they're kids pero they're acting like ADULTS kasi GAG show nga!
with regard to SHOWTIME, it's a TALENT SHOW at wala kang makikitang contestants na NAPIPILITANG SUMAYAW habang UMIIYAK, TANGA!
palusot lang yong ginawa ni willie kasi wala na syang masisi sa kagaguhan nya at nag-aalisan na isa-isa ang advertisers, wala nang nagawa ang mga bayarang writers like cristy fermin! bwahahahahaha!
ok lang, kung mag pull out ang unilever kasi for sure BABABA rin ang sales nila!
hindi naman iikot ang mundo sa unilever lang!
Third, setting up an online resume on a portfolio website need not cost a lot. You do not even need to pay for domain hosting, for there are so many online directories that you can join. You can even go the extra mile and post links of all past and previous projects and papers that you have made, thus removing the need for the addendum "please ask for a complete list of all my accomplishments" that was very common in hard and soft copies of resumes of the past. It gives the potential employer an in-depth look at what your actual outputs are from previous projects. 2. Evaluate opportunities for learning potential. Maybe the assignment you just received from your boss is the same work youve been doing for the last several years. Is there anything about the assignment that could stretch you or teach you something new? Does this assignment offer you the chance to teach someone else what you know and allow you to develop mentoring and delegating skills? Take the time to look at what you are already doing and see if there is a way to add a little bit of just-in-time learning to the mix. 7) Sales
