ABS-CBN has issued a statement in response to the reports about Willie Revillame‘s upcoming show with TV5.
ABS-CBN is reminding Willie Revillame that he still has contract obligations with the Kapamilya network.
In a statement which was emailed by Mr. Bong Osorio (Head, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications) to Starmometer, the Kapamilya network is ready to take legal action if Willie Revillame inks contract with another tv station:
We have filed our official response to Willie’s complaints. We are aware that his supposed program that will air in another station on October 10 has been publicized. We would like to reiterate however that Willie continues to be bound to ABS-CBN and we will challenge in court any contract involving his production or exhibition of another program with another network.According to reports, Willie Revillame (together with some staff and dancers who left Wowowee) is already taping the first episodes of his new program “Willing-Willie Kami” on TV5. The said program is reportedly premiering on October 10, 2010.
