Ogie Diaz and his co-host on Wednesday, July 20, said that TV host Willie Revillame might be power tripping since there were no updates on what will be his role in Manny Villar’s Advanced Media Broadcasting Network (AMBS).
“Ito naman ‘yung sa AMBS, ‘yung kay Willie Revillame. Wala pa rin siyang title o hindi pa rin nila alam kung ano ang tawag sa position ni Willie Revillame,” Diaz began in his YouTube vlog.
Jegs, his co-host, wittily replied, “Ha?! Eh baka yung position na ‘yan te ‘yung bago mag 70!”
It left Diaz wondering and the answer he was looking for was “Edi 69!”
The host-talent manager was shocked by the response but the comedian continued his joke, saying, “Sabi mo position eh! Sabi mo position.”
Mama Loi who was also present at the discussion then said, “Kinakabahan ako kay Jegs.”
Diaz then went on with his Showbiz update, sharing that up until now, Revillame is still looking for staff, artists, hosts, and even dancers for his show. Loi wondered, “Ha? Bakit? Nasaan na ang mga dancers niya dati?”
Jegs then revealed that Revillame was extremely delicate when it comes to his dancers.
“Eh diba hindi naman nagtatagal ang mga dancers ni Willie? Kasi kaunting kibot lang, tanggal agad?”
However, the comedian recanted what he said after realizing that he might not find work at AMBS.
“Hindi! Alam mo te, kasalanan ng mga dancers ‘yan. Kasi ibang dancers delingkwente, unprofessional. Eh gusto ni Willie professional! Kasalanan ng mga dancers iyan. Kasalanan nila. Minsan late pa.”
Diaz then explained that TV hosts are humans, with different personalities, and different attitudes. But as far as work-related he clarified that he has yet to work with Revillame.
“Iba-iba naman kasi ang mga ugali ng TV host. Kanya-kanya silang drama, kanya-kanya silang sumpong, kanya-kanya silang tantrums, kanya-kanya silang kabaitan din. Eh ako kasi hindi ko pa nakakatrabaho si Willie.”
Loi speculated that since the host’s show has yet to have a crew of its own, there is a possibility that Revillame is waiting for something “huge.”
“Or baka nay kailangan ng dagdag kasi siyempre baka mas malaki na ang stage. Malay mo naman ganoon. Kayo naman. Si Jegs hindi talaga ‘yan makakatungtong sa AMBS, hahaha!”
Meanwhile, Jegs who recanted his earlier statement revealed another piece of information about Revillame as an employer.
“Naku! Iyang si Willie, ang gusto niyan, pagkatapos ng show, maiwan pa rin ang mga co-host niya, dancers. Maghappy-happy sila, kain, hanggang sa mapuyat silang lahat. Kapag hindi sumama, may record na iyan, out na.”
The comedian, however, took back what he said after Diaz told him that Revillame doesn’t like inconsistencies.
“Hindi te! Mabait si Willie! Mabait siya!”
Earlier in February, Revillame announced his decision to transfer to AMBS after his stint in GMA Network. Wowowin, the show he had on the Kapuso Network, had its last airing on February 11.
