• As in the defunct Wowowee, Pokwang carries on her penchant for hugging and kissing good-looking men, whether guest star or part of the studio audience, to the new ABS-CBN noontime show Pilipinas Win Na Win (which is very clearly a Kris Aquino show because as main host, Kris all but eclipses her co-hosts including, aside from Pokwang, Robin Padilla, Mariel Rodriguez and Valerie Concepcion). Yesterday, Pokwang went a little too far by putting her legs across the lap of a blushing American guy whom she showered with her usual hugs and kisses. If it were a male host doing that to female (star or guest), he would be accused of sexual harassment — on the air at that! Of course, with Kris on the show, MTRCB chief Consoliza Laguardia might think 10 times before sending the show a “warning.” Takot lang n’ya kay P-Noy, ‘no!

Now that Wowowee has been phased out…temporarily?…does it mean that Willie Revillame will finally bid ABS-CBN goodbye and, like Cesar Montano and “another Kapamilya” who’s turning Kapuso anytime now, jump ober da bakod to another (not necessarily Kapuso) station?

That’s the big question of the hour as another show, Pilipinas Win Na Win, replaces the timeslot (after Showtime) of Wowowee on Saturday, July 31, the date earlier bruited about as Willie’s much-awaited comeback to the show from which he has been “on leave” (or “suspended” from) more than three months ago.

First, the much-awaited official statement from ABS-CBN, issued yesterday after (closed-door?) meeting among Wowowee host Willie Revillame and ABS-CBN big bosses Gabby Lopez and Charo Santos-Concio. But, of course, Funfare’s VDPA (Very Deep Penetration Agent was there, so invisible that the three didn’t see “it”, hehehehe!).

Statement on Meeting Between ABS-CBN and Willie Revillame:

ABS-CBN management and Willie Revillame pushed through with their scheduled talk yesterday afternoon (Monday, May 24).

Now that her brother, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, is apparently well on his way to Malacañang, Kris Aquino has become a favorite target of Twitter enthusiasts asking if she will keep her “promise” to leave the country with her family (husband James Yap and their kids Joshua and Baby James) and work for the TFC (The Filipino Channel) if Noynoy would win in the presidential race.

If you recall, Kris said something to that effect several weeks before the May 10 polls when she got into that messy issue involving James and another woman (suspected to be having an “affair” with him but it turned out that she and James were “just friends”). Kris-bashers were quick to drag Noynoy into the controversy, urging everybody “not to vote” for Noynoy even if he didn’t have anything to do with it.
