If She Goes, I Go, Too

In mainstream entertainment industry, the audience is king. Thus, networks are pressured to give in to the demands of viewers to make sure that loyalty is retained. Social media has become a main factor in gauging the feelings of the audience. With a few hundred characters or a thousand words, followers can express their reaction to their favorite shows or celebrities. Today’s netizens can sometimes be impatient and want their requests, if not demands, to be acted on by the network immediately.

If things were easily run that way, all viewers will be happy because they will be getting what they want to see on free TV. However, strategies and interests prevail in the running of any show. On one hand, certain celebrities are seen on TV more often because the management has plans for them even if such celebrities still have to win the favor of the viewers. On the other hand, some celebrities, even if they have strong social media following, are not seen as often because of management decision. For instance, celebrities might be difficult to work with, have attitude problems, or have difficulty blending with the group. Expect such celebrity to have less exposure.

Other than audience and celebrity factors, sponsorship and endorsements can come into play. If a celebrity is a favorite endorser of a sponsor of the show, then that celebrity will definitely have his/her time on screen. Without ads, a show might simply fold up regardless of the talent or star power of the cast. In other words, maintaining top ratings is complicated.

Nonetheless, the most significant factor to consider is the performance of shows that share the same time slot. If a rival show suddenly introduces an innovation and ratings surge out of nowhere, expect the other shows to change their strategy to make sure the present viewers are retained and new ones are gained.

When a station risked changing the usual format of shows for a particular time slot, many viewers were surprised that the other station (OS) suddenly changed its time-tested format. Instead of seeing the most anticipated performances of their idols, fans were treated to skits and games. Thus, the change was met with varied reactions. First, the change was abrupt, and was thus perceived as a reactionary move to counteract the rival network’s new show. Second, fans were not happy to see their idols acting, which is something that they have been doing for days. Third, some segments seemed off.

The feedback was not what the network had expected. Most were negative and demanded the removal of the segments that were introduced. Further, when the new segments will be removed, Fiery Host (FH) will be taken out as well. Allegedly, netizens found the style of FH annoying, as she puts the guests on the spot. Of course, fans are not too keen on seeing their idols placed in potentially embarrassing situations on live TV.

FH got wind of the possibility that she might be removed, she sought comfort with a Major Celebrity (MC). MC was sympathetic to the concern of FH and promised to do what she could to help FH secure her spot in the show. MC approached the production and hinted that she will leave the show if FH is removed. The statement was simple, yet crucial, because MC has a huge following and her leaving will certainly stir up intrigue. So, will MC stand in the way of improving the show, or will the network do what it intends to and say “bye” to MC? Thus, viewers can stay put and pass around the popcorn.

Lawyer on CA Order: No Need to Arrest Willie, He Already Posted Bail

Willie Revillame's lawyer clarified that the television host has already posted bail for charges of child abuse and child exploitation, even before the Court of Appeals' decision to uphold a trial court's warrant of arrest against him.

"He has posted bail after the criminal information was filed by the city prosecutor for Quezon City. In effect, there is no need for a warrant of arrest," Revillame's legal counsel Nards De Vera told GMA News Online.

News reports indicated that the CA ruling ordered Revillame's arrest, which his camp is seeking to clarify.

"We want to correct that misimpression that the court of appeals has ordered his arrest. What the CA said that it is okay for the RTC to issue a warrant of arrest so that Willie could be arraigned," said the lawyer.

In the decision penned by Associate Justice Ma. Luisa Quijano-Padilla dated September 7, 2015, the appeals court's 13th division held up the warrant issued by Quezon City Regional Trial Court Judge Roberto P. Buenaventura for Revillame's arrest because of probable cause.

"When the CA made the decision, it only merely said that the judge was correct in finding the probable cause," De Vera said.

The lawyer also said the new development would allow Revillame to have his day in court.

"Let the trial proceed so that the government can prove its case and Willie can exercise his right in the trial. That's all it meant," he said.

"I hope we would emphasize is what the CA is saying is you may proceed for the trial so that the guilt or innocence of Willie can be determined by the court.

"So now we will proceed with the trial."

'No evidence of child abuse'

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) filed the complaint for violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Anti-Child Abuse Law before the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office after receiving complaints about an incident in Revillame's defunct show "Willing Willie" that featured a six-year-old boy performing gyrating dance moves in 2011.

But De Vera defended his client, saying there is no evidence supporting the charges.

"There is no evidence that there was child abuse. Number one the child, the mother, the father, never complained. In fact sabi nila they are very grateful dahil na boost 'yung confidence nung bata... Nakakatuwaan siya ng mga tao,"

"We'll just proceed with the case and we are confident that the evidence will show that there is no truth to the complaint filed against Willie."
