Watch His Video NOW - April 8, 2011, Friday Episode of Willing-Willie.

Just Want to Share this Blog and Link to My Readers:

Found In MyKiRu IsYuSeRo's Blog Post:
Intriguing Issues, Scandals and Controversies... Plus the Hottest Celebrities, Hunks and Beauties

On Willing Willie 's episode tonight, April 8, host Willie Revillame made a big announcement concerning himself and his show.

Willie announced first during the early part of the show that Willing Willie won't go live or will have a pre-taped episode tomorrow, April 9.

He also announced that all of its advertisers will be placing ads in the show only until tomorrow.

Then on the later part of the program, at already 9:45PM, Willie Revillame made a big announcement, which was actually not a surprising one, that Willing Willie will go off air for 2 weeks starting this Monday, April 11.

But before that announcement, he first recalled all his sad experiences as a host, starting with the time he was a host on ABS-CBN's Wowowee.

He recalled the ULTRA Stampede, the Wilyonaryo Scandal and the Cory Aquino Funeral.

Then on the middle part, he explained about the "Jan-Jan" controversy on Willing Willie last March 12. He believes that the Youtube video of Jan-Jan was edited and a sliced version of the actual Willing Willie episode.

Willie also fired back against those celebs who said something against him on Twitter. He enumerated their names: Jim Paredes, Aiza Seguerra, Agot Isidro, Mylene Dizon, Lea Salonga, Bianca Gonzales, Tuesday Vargas, K Brosas and Lea Navarro.

(Thanks for the update/s. I admire your efforts in doing the video transcription. Kudos!)

The Truth about Beth Tamayo and Elizabeth Batain

What I found out early today:
Beth Tamayo is dead.
Beth Tamayo was sentenced to death.
Beth Tamayo and Elizabeth Batain are only ONE and the Same Person.

A mere Hoax, a Rumor.

When I first heard the news, spreading like wildfire in SMS as well as in many social networking sites, I began doing my own researches. I initially find this thing very cheap but mind you, I honestly got curious. They say curiosity kills and so I went online and search over the web. In a very few clicks, these what I got:

Conclusion: This is a mere Hoax, a Rumor.

Indeed, Beth Tamayo isn't Elizabeth Batain.

Actress Beth Tamayo broke her silence on the rumor that she and Elizabeth Batain, one of the Filipinos who was executed recently in China are one and the same.

“Hindi ko lang ma-gets na bakit saken agad na-iconnect yung Beth na binitay.” part of Beth Tamayo’s e-mail sent to GMA-7′s showbiz talk show, Startalk said. “I’m very much alive and kicking.” she added. She also sent her condolonces to the family of Batain. Beth is currently in the United States and was last seen on GMA-7′s fantaserye Luna Mystika.

Beth Tamayo very much "alive and kickin'"; Kris Aquino visits family of the real Elizabeth Batain

Nagpadala ang aktres na si Beth Tamayo sa Startalk—ang showbiz talk show ng GMA-7—ng reaksiyon kaugnay sa kumalat na balitang siya umano si Elizabeth Batain, ang isa sa tatlong Pinoy na binitay sa China kamakailan lang dahil sa pagiging drug mules diumano.

Tanging si Elizabeth ang hindi ipinakita ang litrato, pati ang pamilya nitong pumunta ng China bago siya binitay.

Bahagi ng email na ipinadala nito sa Startalk ang sumusunod: "Ang dami namang Beth, why me? Just because i haven't been in the surface? Hindi ko lang ma-gets na bakit saken agad na-iconnect yung Beth na binitay.

"Now, it makes me think na baka yung mga naghahanap sa ex ko ang may gawa nito just so I could re-surface and give my side. I don't wanna say anything anymore but just to appease some people who might be wondering or baka maniwala kaya eto ako i'm giving a reaction about it.

"But for the record again.. i'm very much ALIVE and KICKIN'!"

Ang tinutukoy na "ex" ni Beth ay ang kanyang asawa na si Johnny Wong.

Ayon pa kay Beth, sa tanang buhay niya ay hindi pa raw siya nakarating ng China.

Nasa Amerika pa raw siya ngayon, pero ayaw muna niyang sabihin kung anong state ito.

Sinabi pa ni Beth na mabuti't hindi na raw ito nakarating sa mommy niya dahil hindi naman daw siya tinext o tinawagan tungkol sa balitang ito.

Kaya sa huling bahagi ng email ni Beth, inulit nitong buhay na buhay siya at walang dapat ipag-alala ang mga kaibigan at pamilya.

Nagparating din ito ng pakikiramay sa pamilyang naiwan ni Elizabeth Batain.

KRIS'S TESTIMONY. Si Kris Aquino ang isa sa makapagpapatunay na hindi si Beth ang tinutukoy na "Elizabeth Batain" dahil dinalaw daw niya ang pamilya ng huli sa Quezon province kamakailan lang.

Kuwento ni Kris sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "I went to the family. I asked their permission if I could talk about it, and they allowed me kasi I wanted to respect kaya walang press na sumama sa amin.

"Kasama ko yung daughter ni Vice President [Jejomar] Binay, si Anne. Sila kasi yung may communication, 'saka I went to Batain family... Ito yung family ni Elizabeth na never ipinakita yung litrato, ayaw nilang magpa-media.

"I took the chopper yesterday, it took more than an hour to get there kasi nasa dulo talaga ng Quezon. But fulfilling kasi talagang nagpasalamat sila na nagbigay kami ng pagmamalasakit, na nakiramay kami sa kanila.

"Tapos, marami silang mga gustong i-explain tungkol sa kapatid nila, kasi masakit talaga lahat ng accusations na pinagdaanan. And then I met her two children. Kinantahan nga ako nung daughter. Sinabi ko na sana talaga lalo pa niyang paghusayan because she really has a beautiful voice.

"And for me, it was really worth the effort na nagpunta dun kasi regardless of guilt, kasi, di ba, huwag na nating pag-usapan yung guilt o hindi, kasi dapat respetuhin natin ang batas ng China. Pero pamilya silang nawalan ng minamahal nila and, ako talaga, I felt that since I had that wonderful opportunity na mapuntahan sila," seryosong paglalahad ni Kris

Dagdag pa niya, "Ginawan ko talaga ng paraan in my capacity as Kris. Kasi ang nakaka-surprise was that wala silang complaint how government handled it. Kasi tinanong ko, e, 'Meron ba kayong gustong ipaabot kay PNoy?' 'Wala po.'

Another Story:
"Kasi nung August pa lang, sumulat na siya sa China on their behalf, meron silang pina-bring up sa akin na about media and about yung privacy issues and all. But yun, napaabot ko naman sa mga boss ko. And gumaan ang pakiramdam ko dahil naramdaman ko naramdaman nilang merong nagmalasakit sa pinagdaanan nila."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Kris at matagal itong natulala nang sinabi namin sa kanya na may kumakalat na balitang si Beth Tamayo raw itong si Elizabeth Batain.

In Ogie Diaz' "Oh My G!" column at Pinoy Parazzi yesterday, April 4, the writer-manager-host doubted if the rumor is true. He mentioned that the Beth who is rumored to be dead might be the Elizabeth Batain who was sentenced to death in China some days back. To quote:

TINAWAGAN NAMIN ANG uncle niyang si Ramon Yuson, pero tila hindi na ‘yon ang kanyang number. Nagpalit na yata ang dating manager ni Mahal.

Gusto lang kasi naming linawin kay Ramon, dahil kumalat sa text at dalawa na rin ang nagtanong sa amin kung ang pamangkin niyang si Beth Tamayo ang isa sa tatlong binitay sa China dahil sa droga.

Sey ng aming kausap, “Baka ‘yung walang mukhang si Elizabeth Batain ‘yung si Beth, hindi kaya?”

Honestly, hindi kami naniniwala rito. Dahil knowing the media? Imposibleng makakawala sa kanila ang impormasyon kung ito man ay itinatago.

Lalo na at si Beth ay isang kilalang artista, ‘di ba? So, personally, hindi kami naniniwala rito.

And I’m sure, paglabas nito ay asahan na nating may official statement ang kampo ni Beth para pabulaanan ang katsipang kumakalat na text message na si Beth ang isa sa mga binitay.

Ipagdasal na lamang natin ang mga kaluluwa ng ating mga kababayang binitay, inosente man sila o guilty.

Mommy Mai says:

Information, inputs and stories are now presented. It is indeed yours to decide.

We personally don't believe in this.

Though it has been very intriguing and interesting, we shall stop sensationalizing this issue as it damages and ruins somebody else's reputation and disturbs his or her privacy. Entertainment is non-sense if it is done at the expense of other people.

Next Most-Awaited Scene: For this issue or rumor to die, Ms. Beth Tamayo has to show up to prove her message, only sent via E-mail, that she is very much alive and kicking. I know she doesn't have to prove to anyone her existence but for her peace of mind and to stop this commotion or hubbub, I think she has to show up and greet the whole world - Hello! :)

With such a very pretty face, Ms. Beth Tamayo is an icon in show business, a competitive and a very good actress. Most of us admire her beauty, elegance and simplicity. She smiles like an angel and seems to project as someone who has a big, humble and sincere heart. I hope she can always be tagged or talked about as who she really is and NOT as someone else, NOT even as Elizabeth Batain. Take care, Ms. Beth. GOD bless you and your family always!

To Ms. Elizabeth Batain, may your soul be blessed and rest in eternal peace with our Creator.

Would you mind sharing what you have in mind? We'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for dropping by!

See you again... soon! :-)

Willie Revillame On Spotlight Once Again

Early today, I saw a video on my Facebook wall, and so I watched it. To my dismay, I know there is again something wrong, very alarming. And that shouldn't be tolerated... After seeing the video, I want to give Jan-Jan a big hug. I cannot imagine myself and even hubby, allowing that incident to happen to our "precious little one!"

Read the Latest News from Yahoo! OMG! Philippines...

DSWD protests ‘Willing Willie’ over dancing 6-year-old

Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Dinky Soliman wrote on Monday, March 28, a letter of protest to TV5 management, headed by its chairman Manny Pangilinan, over another controversy involving "Willing Willie" host Willie Revillame.

Soliman had appealed to the network not to allow children to endure ridicule and embarrassment on national television after its early evening program allowed a six-year-old boy named Jan-Jan Suan to perform dance moves akin to male erotic dancing. During the routine, Jan-Jan was crying amid laughs from the audience and strikingly from Revillame himself.

In an e-mail to Yahoo! OMG! Philippines, Soliman said: "I will write a letter of protest to Channel 5 (and) to Mr. Manny Pangilinan regarding the case and we should all write him and demand that children should not be part of the show. They should not be used as instrument for enjoyment and to be laughed at. I will send the communication today."

At one point during Jan-Jan's performance, Revillame said: "Umiiyak pa yan…Ngayon pa sa hirap ng buhay ng tao…si Jan Jan siyempre sasayaw bilang macho dancer sa edad na yan para sa kanyang mahal na pamilya…pinahanga mo ako Jan Jan."

"Lumuluha yan…parang sa pelikulang 'Burlesk Queen'…umiiyak na ganoon…ginagawa para sa pamilya. Masama ang loob pero kailangan kong gawin para sa mahal sa buhay," he added.

The show's spinner then repeated the song the child had danced to five times after, apparently forcing the sobbing child to repeat his "macho dancing," even in his final appearance on a rising platform on stage.

DSWD statement

A few hours after her e-mail, Soliman sent the protest letter to TV5 which was addressed to Pangilinan. In this regard, the DSWD sent Yahoo! OMG! Philippines its official statement:

"The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) condemns the emotional abuse and humiliation bestowed on a six-year-old child contestant, during the March 12, 2011 episode of the Willing Willie show aired on TV5.

The sequence shows the boy gyrating in a distasteful manner with the audience, including the host (Willie Revillame), manifesting no evidence of concern or alarm for the child. This incident is clearly a violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act and a blatant manifestation of child abuse. The term “child abuse” includes the following acts: “psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment,” and “any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human being.”

Putting pressure on children to do acts such as mimicking adult sexy dances, in exchange for a certain amount of money, and at the expense of being laughed at and ridiculed by hundreds of people, clearly traumatizes the child. This is a clear form of child abuse and will not be tolerated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

The Department has already communicated to ABC Development Communication Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan asking that children should not be allowed to appear in TV shows like Willing Willie, especially those capitalizing on poverty as a source of immediate entertainment. In the formal communication with Mr. Pangilinan, the Department has also rebuked the insensitive actions and remarks of Mr. Revillame.

On a final note, the Department is also conducting its own investigation on the said incident and if warranted under the circumstances, legal action will be taken against the TV 5 management and other concerned parties in violation of RA 7610. The necessary counseling will also be awarded to the child and his parents, to prevent further trauma and abuse due to the media hype brought about by this saddening incident."

MTRCB action

For its part, the Movies and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has begun to act on complaints regarding the "Willing Willie" episode. In a brief published on its website, the MTRCB said, "The Board received numerous complaints about the 12 March 2011 episode of “Willing Willie” aired over Kapatid Network TV5 where a six-year old boy contestant was shown to be gyrating and impersonating the body movements of a macho dancer.

In accordance with the Board’s duty to enforce the Constitutional mandate that the State shall defend the rights of children from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development, the Board has referred the matter to the Hearing and Adjudication Committee for appropriate disposition.

The Board further emphasizes that whenever children are featured in television programs, producers are mandated to observe legal standards stipulated in R.A. 7160 to avoid “psychological abuse xxx cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment” and “any act by deeds and words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child.”

Meanwhile, TV5 Head of Creative and TV Entertainment Perci Intalan told Yahoo! OMG! Philippines that the network and "Willing Willie" producer Wil Productions are aware of the issue and the comments of the public regarding the matter and are currently in discussions on appropriate action.

How to Find a Good Nanny or a Reliable Yaya

Know Some Effective Ways to Find a Nanny - What, When, Where, Why, Who and How.

True, it is so hard to find the most reliable, loyal and honest nanny to whom we can entrust our kids, valuables, humble abode and everything. Honestly, hubby and I were having a difficulty settling on a "quite perfect one" long-term Yaya.

We perfectly know we are kind, fair and considerate enough to all of them but nothing seems to last. It is either they got sick, needed to leave for some personal reason/s, or worst, got caught and be put in jail for her to learn her lessons.

We always treat them as a family; we give in to their requests and never doubt or judge them; we make them feel they belong in the family and whatever she wants, she gets as long as she doesn't go beyond her boundaries and limitations. She can practice her freedom and her rights provided that it is lawful, fair and just.

However, most of them seem to go beyond their parameters and have become quite abusive. And so we now have this big problem and need to deal with this immediately. Otherwise, everybody suffers.

Here are some useful tips to help you find the "right" one and convince her to stay:

1.) Treat your nanny with respect – this goes a long long way in any relationship. They are not robots, make sure that you give them time to rest once in a while and give them rest days. Also, make sure you do not leave your children with them day in and day out. It is their job to help you with the baby, but ultimately, you are still the parent.

2.) Be kind – everyone is fighting his or her own battles, and so learn to be kind. If there are mishaps, then do not readily blame them or accuse them. Ask. Ask what happened, and don’t jump to conclusions. There may be times when you may question their judgment on things especially when it concerns poor child safety. On the other hand, you may be surprised, just if you’d take the time to ask. You may find out that they may just have a different way of viewing things, although faulty at times. But that’s why they’re nannies to begin with.

3.) Be generous. – While some people may object to this, i would say that it plays a big factor on why people leave. Plus, being generous doesn’t necessarily have to equate to giving money. You can be generous with praise when they did a good job. People like it when they get recognition for a job well done. Other things relating to this would be giving out their law-mandated benefits, such as their social security and medical contributions, that’s part of being humane.

4.) Trust, respect and consideration. It takes two to tango. It is a mutual relationship. Observe the Golden Rule. Otherwise, both parties would suffer and be miserable. So make the most out of your working relationship/s and get what you both deserve.

We’ll hope that helps you keep your good nannies, if you happen to have one right now. Otherwise, I hope it converts your current nanny or sitter into a good one.

But for now, just like you, we are also in search of a good one.

Now, do you know anyone? Please help. Contact us at 0915871-8721. :-)

A Yaya Indeed; A Nanny Indeed.
