Willie Revillame Cancels Contract as He Disagrees with the 40% Deductions of Viva

TV host and businessman Willie Revillame allegedly canceled his contract with the Viva after he disagrees with the 40% deductions to his income.

After former senator Manny Villar left ALLTV, Willie Revillame’s talent management will be handled by Viva. Reggee Bonoan, a showbiz writer, claims that Willie collaborated with Viva on “Wowowin” and a number of international shows.

Showbiz author Jojo Gabinete recently stated that Willie will make a significant revelation regarding his “Wowowin” in June. The most recent episode of Cristy Fermin’s entertainment show, however, revealed that Viva and Willie Revillame would no longer be a couple.

“Hindi na matutuloy… Pati ‘yung pagpirma niya ng kontrata sa Viva hindi natuloy,” Cristy said on “Showbiz Now Na” on May 28.

Willie and Boss Vic del Rosario already met and came to an agreement that Viva would receive 20% of all concert revenues, according to Cristy. The seasoned journalist adds, however, that Willie refused to accept Viva’s 40% reduction from the revenues after a short period of time.

“Ang kuwento ng aking source, nag-meeting na raw si Boss Vic del Rosario at si Willie Revillame. Nagkasundo na, na kukuha ng 20% ang Viva sa lahat ng kikitain ng konsiyerto ni Willie. So okay na, okay na raw, wala nang problema, pasable na kay Willie. Aba, maya-maya raw pagkatapos ng ilang araw, mayroon na naman daw kakaltasin na 20%. ‘Yung booking at saka finder’s fee. Eh ‘di 40% na,” she added.

Willie is defended by Cristy in this regard. The entertainment columnist also questioned the agency’s alleged unfair withholding from Willie’s pay.

“Siya ang performer. Siya ang haharap sa tao, siya ang magpapasaya, siya ang magpe-perform. Bakit naman 60 lang ‘yung kanya,”said Cristy in her show.

It will be noted that Willie provided evidence that “Wowowin” would not vanish in February 2023 and after his and other ALLTV programs were discontinued as a result of poor viewership. Willie shared a video of the “Wowowin” studio at Starmall EDSA being rebuilt.
