"ABS-CBN will launch on March 15 the controversial Wowowee noon-time show hosted by Willie Revillame, a program that promotes mendicancy and dependency of the poor, all anticipating rich prizes and rewards doled out by program organizers.
"It would seem that ABS-CBN is out to prove something, unmindful of that tragic stampede that killed 71 elderly women and a four-year-old child, and scores of others injured. I call it utter insensitivity of the ABS-CBN to resurrect Wowowee, since that program has become the badge of shame and monumental embarrassment of the Lopez network.
"At a time when government prosecutors are still trying to pinpoint responsibility for that tragic incident because of the shortcomings of the network’s program organizers and management itself, to foist Wowowee and its program host on the public exhibits gall and temerity."
-- Emil Jurado, Manila Standard Today
Strong words there, and I agree with him totally. Resurrect "Wowowee"? That's the height of insensitivity. What is "Wowowee" all about anyway? It's mainly a mindless, stupifying TV show that caters to the public's irrationality and exploits the poor's hopes and dreams. Apparently ABS-CBN cannot just let it die, perhaps because it is very profitable for the network...
