Willie Revillame inaming nalugi siya ng PhP140 million sa ‘Wowowin’
TV host Willie Revillame revealed that he lost almost Php 140 million for producing ‘Wowowin.’ On its May 8, 2021 episode, Willie gave a short tour of the studio and reminisces the days of ‘Wowowin’ before the pandemic hit.
“Nami-miss ko ‘yung sigawan, lalapitan ka, hahalikan ka ng matatanda, inaamoy ka ng mga lolo, lola, ‘Willie pambili ko lang ng gamot. Willie ‘yung apo ko bigyan mo ng ganito, pambayad ng kuryente, bigyan mo ako ng TV.” said Willie.
“Nagsimula ako rito, May 10, ako ho ang nagpo-produce noon, ako. Pera ko ‘yun, every Sunday, 3:30-4:30 p.m.. Dumating ang time na after mga ilang linggo, sabi ko, stop ko na, dahil wala kasi akong marketing, eh. Walang nagbebenta ng programa.” Willie added.
“So, nalulugi. Umabot na sa point na P140 million po yung nagastos ko na walang bumabalik. Kasi nagbabayad ho ako ng blocktime, eh, more than 2 million for 1 hour. Isipin n’yo sa 2 million, 2.2 yata, sa isang buwan ho, eh 8.8 million yun. Wala ka pang ilaw. Kala n’yo, ganu’n kadali mag-produce. Wala ka pang bayad sa artist, wala ka pang bayad sa staff, sa gwardya, lahat. So, gumagastos ho ng 14 to 15 million a month ang programang Wowowin,” Willie said.
WIllie then admitted that he gave up and wanted to quit the show and simply stay at his Tagaytay residence and rest. Then he got a call from GMA executive offering him a 50% off which he still declined.
GMA-7 then offered that the network will produced and market the show.
“Sabi ko, ‘maganda yan kasi, ang GMA, marketing at sales na po, sila na po kungbaga ang bahala sa commercials na napakalaking bagay na po sa akin kasi ho, natutulungan na ako, sobrang laking tulong,” said Willie.
