As far as I know, Willie Revillame, who should be forever known as the trademark host of Wowowee (the show is just not the same without him, is it?), hasn’t been suspended by ABS-CBN as everybody must be concluding. “He was just asked to take a three-month vacation,” clarified a network exec who requested anonymity.
The “vacation” is good until September and Willie, so I heard, is enjoying it by playing golf and simply taking it easy. The guy deserves an R&R, having worked himself to exhaustion resulting in a clogged heart, bad throat and all the aches and pains found in the medical book.

Wowowee is currently temporarily hosted by Luis Manzano who came after Robin Padilla (for two weeks), Rico J. Puno, and Billy Crawford and John Lloyd Cruz who both dropped out after doing the job together with Luis in a few editions. So until when will Wowowee have “temporary” hosts…until September when Willie is presumed to be back?
