ABS-CBN Seeks Immediate Court Ruling on TRO vs. Willie Revillame

As Willie Revillame and TV5 airs "Willing Willie" next Saturday, ABS-CBN seeks immediate court ruling on TRO to be invoked against the said show.

ABS-CBN Corporation yesterday (Oct 15) filed for a motion to resolve before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court following public announcements by Willie Revillame in the media that he will be pushing through with the launch of “Willilng-Willie” on October 23, which will defy the judge’s pronouncement that no show will be launched until he makes a ruling on ABS-CBN’s petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO) vs the TV host.

ABS-CBN requested the honorable court to immediately make a ruling in its application for the issuance of TRO and writ of preliminary injunction before October 23, which is the date when Revillame will pilot his game-variety program “Willing Willie.”

The Kapamilya Network justified the urgency for a ruling with Revillame’s recent statements in a news article where he said “nothing can stop” his show from airing. He even claimed that there is “no truth” that he entered a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ which is contrary to what the judge has pronounced.

ABS-CBN also cited TV5’s official statement, which said “Willing Willie” is set to air on October 23.

Other than the motion to resolve, ABS-CBN formally filed a reply to Revillame’s opposition to the network’s request for TRO and writ of preliminary injunction.

ABS-CBN clarified that the pendency of Revillame’s omnibus motion does not preclude the court’s resolution of ABS-CBN’s verified motion for TRO and writ of preliminary injunction.

It also enumerated all requisites present in the case enough for the court to grant its request for a TRO and writ against the TV host, and that the issuance of these will not result in a prejudgment of the instant case.

Last October 4, ABS-CBN filed a motion for the issuance of a TRO and writ of preliminary injunction in the Quezon City Regional Trial Court and requested it “to restrain Willie from creating or performing work similar to the work under the agreement for any person or entity in direct competition with the business of ABS-CBN and from engaging in activities which are adverse to the interests of ABS-CBN.”

ABS-CBN also sought the court to prevent Willie from appearing or using his name, voice or likeness, directly or indirectly, for promoting any product or service in print, radio, or television or any form of advertisement and committing any act which jeopardizes the success of the program or which may affect the good name and goodwill of ABS-CBN.

QC RTC Judge Luisito Cortez earlier said, “I will study the pleadings submitted to me by Oct 15. Both parties have a gentlemen’s agreement that no show will be launched while the court has not yet issued a ruling on the TRO and other issues.”

Revillame violated the behavioral provisions of his contract when he threatened the ABS-CBN management during the 4 May 2010 episode of “Wowowee,” with a resignation if management does not fire another artist of the network.

After weeks of hiatus, Revillame resurfaced and called for a press conference to announce that he was rescinding his contract with ABS-CBN.

ABS-CBN has maintained that it is the aggrieved party, and as such, is the only one that can decide to end the agreement.

    OMG! WAIT! IM DIZZY! LOL.

    So here’s what I want you to know.

    Willie entered into a contract with ABS-CBN, and he knows that he’ll pay P486 million if he violates the said contract.

    He violated his contract with ABS-CBN when he signed another contract with TV5.

    So now, he’s liable to pay the said amount to ABS-CBN.

    ABS-CBN filed a case against Willie to stop him from appearing on-air to another TV network.

    Willie confirmed that he’ll be having a new show with TV5.
    (he violated the contract again)

    The court suggested a “gentlemen’s agreement” between the two parties.

    The “gentlemen’s agreement” states that Willie shouldn’t appear on any TV show unless the TRO was released.

    Willie denied that there was a “GA” and he is very eager to pursue the launching of his new show.

    To wrap this up, whether or not his show will air tomorrow he is still liable to ABS-CBN.

    Ang pinakamalalang pambabastos ni Willie Revillame na magagawa sa ABS-CBN ay ang pagpapalabas ng bago niyang show sa ibang network, hindi pa niya napapanagutan ang mga kasalanan niyang nagawa sa network na naghulma at naglagay sa kanya kung asan sa ngayon. Hindi ito tungkol sa network wars, tungkol ito sa pagsunod sa usapan, kung nagawa niya ang ganitong kabalbalan sa ABS-CBN mas kaya niya itong gawin sa TV5!

    Dapat sa show na to, hindi ipalabas. Isn’t it rude para sa network na nabastos ni Willie? Kaya nga may contract na pinipirmahan para sundin. What’s the sense of signing a contract kung hindi mo naman pala susundin? I’m sure tv5 knows that too. There are guidelines na dpat sundin, even TV5 violated that.

    Hindi niya dapat ituloy yang show na yan. In the first place, hindi niya gingalang ang kontrata nia sa abs tapos nagpapirate agad sya sa TV5. dapat hinintay niyang maresolba yun kaso at yun kontrata. onting galang naman s acontrata at batas!!! hindi siya gentle mna kaya hindi sya dapat tinatawag na ganyan.

    QC RTC Judge Luisito Cortez earlier said, “I will study the pleadings submitted to me by Oct 15. Both parties have a gentlemen’s agreement that no show will be launched while the court has not yet issued a ruling on the TRO and other issues.”

  7. I couldnt agree more merly! ewan ko ba dyan sa nilalang na yan kung anu meron sa kanya. ganid sya masyado sa pera. kung gusto nyang maging legal yung mga ginagawa nya, bakit di nya bayaran yung 486 million na yan eh mani lang sa kanya yun ah. haay. napaka kapal ng muka ni willie.

  8. ANG KAPAL NG MUKHA NI WILLIE I-AIR YUNG BAGO NIYANG SHOW! NILABAG NIYA ANG CONTRACT NIYA SA ABS-CBN! WALA SIYANG MODO! BINASTOS NIYA ANG MGA TAONG NAGLAGAY SA KANYA KUNG ASAN MAN SIYA NGAYON. NAKAKAINIS! SANA LUMABAS NA YUNG TRO!

  9. Sumtyms pgnasa peak tau ng mood swings natin d natin mapigil mkapagsalita ng masakit sa kapwa.jst like Willie did.bt infairness to him he apologize to abs mngt.he was suspended and left hanging on w/no assurance that he could go back to wowowee.til he knew he’s show was abolished and replaced by win na win.that time he might felt more that he is just being left hanging.he’s contract w/ abs is with that show wowowee.but it was gone,so may be by then he chose to leave abs. D question is why abs is trying to keep an artist without giving that certain artist that he could go back to work and where to put willie back since he’s show was no longer airing.he’s contract is with abs but for that wowowee show,eh wala na kasi inalis ng abs ang show. Is abs jst want to keep him without giving him work.gus2 lng naman dn kumita ni willie just like anybody else…eh ang abs nga d ngbigay ng separation fee to those workers who worked for 20,13yrs na pinangunahan nla by saying to resign dn pina submit cla ng abs ng resignation letter.kc abs knew that those people got the chance to meet willie again.ang basis ng abs against the workers is loyalty.bakit sinali nla yung mga workers na yun na they were still working that time in win na win.for me,pinpipersonal lng ng abs ang mga workers na yun kc friend dn yun ni willie. Pinalabas ng abs na nagresign yung mga tao na yun para d mkapgbigay cla ng separation.bt actually wether you voluntarily resign or has been laid off still the company has to give a settlement for the years that you were working with them….

  10. Sorry tapos na ang contract ni angel sa GMA. pero kay mother lily meron pa, at di nang-apak si Angel ng tao at sya di sya mayabang, di bastos, Di marunong magsalita ng di katanggap tanggap sa publiko, Kaya anong KARMA don, baka kamo si willie ang nakarma, kc biglang yaman biglang bagsak din. Sa sobrang astig, parang di nag-aral, lahat napapansin nya pero ugali nya akala nya maganda, kc nga naman daw nakakatulong sa mga mahihirap, di nya alam sinasakyan lang ang kabastusan nya.Tignan mo si Angel walang ganyan demandahan naayos ng malinis, at di pinatulan ni Angel kung ano man ang sinasabing negative sa kanya. Kc alam nya kung ano talaga ang tama at totoo. Kaya hanggang ngayon sikat pa den sya.
