The leave of Willie Revillame has been quite instant. He never showed up after the incident that made fans soar out of rage over Willie’s request to remove the funeral video of the late former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino’s video which was shown in the middle of his show Wowowee. Willie issued his apology and since then, we never saw light of him.

Today while visiting the official website of ABS-CBN, I saw in the news column that ABS-CBN already issued an official statement about Willie Revillame’s leave from the show Wowowee. It reads as below:

“In the interest of self-regulation, ABS-CBN has availed of the conciliation process under Section 6, Rule 7, of the MTRCB Rules of Procedures, regarding the incidents involving Mr. Willie Revillame in the Program Wowowee. After having considered the facts, issues and terms of self-regulation to be imposed in the pertinent cases, the MTRCB has approved the same.

WHEREOF, the ABS-CBN shall undertake to perform the following:

1. Extend Mr. Revillame’s leave until 20 September 2009, and
2. Remove the present dance segment of Luningning and Saicy.

FURTHER, ABS-CBN reiterates that it is fully aware of its legal and moral responsibilities as a broadcaster and shall undertake to continue to uphold the values and customs of the Filipino viewing public.”

This statement was copied directly from the issued statement by ABS-CBN. No copyright infringement intended, just for information purpose.

In here all fans and not so fan of Willie will know that the management of ABS-CBN already expressed their official statement in view of how they want the public to know about the update.
