According to PEP.ph, Willie Revillame already sent his letter to ABS-CBN requesting the network to release him as its talent. Willie has been on indefinite leave for almost 2 weeks now. It started when Willie dared ABS-CBN to remove Jobert Sucaldito from the network otherwise he will leave Wowowee. He made that reckless statement on-air.
When I heard about what he said, I thought it was rude and arrogant. I believe there are matters that can be discussed privately and by not sending a message like a threat to the network. In my opinion, It's about time Willie should be out of the show. He said in Paparazzi Channel 5 last Sunday that he's no longer happy with what he's been doing. It is important to people that we enjoy what we do in our lives, otherwise we're going to mess things up, just like what Willie did. Having Jobert blamed on this is not fair either. Willie as a host, should be calm enough to deal with it. There are legal ways to protect himself from Jobert's chismis against him. However, he didn't use that option.
Willie has been in the program for 5 years, and the rating of the show is unexpectedly high. It's just sad that this has become his fate, being hated by some people because of his attitude. For the moment, It would be better to leave him be and contemplate on his actions. I'm sure many Filipinos out there are still hoping and waiting for his return sorry but I'm not one of them.
No wonder Eat Bulaga has been running for more than 25 years now. Eat Bulaga's hosts are having fun at work on a day to day basis, while for Willie it came to a point that all is just work and happiness is missing.

After Watching Code Geass Anime
Code Geass is an anime series created by Sunrise and characters designed by CLAMP. This anime consists of the first series that was aired in Japan in 2006, followed by its sequel Code Geass: Leleuch of Rebellion R2 in 2008.
Japan was conquered by the Empire of Britania, yielding to unequal justice and Japanese being oppressed by Brittanian people. Because of this, rebels and terrorists started a war, and the "hero" Lelouch stumbled upon a mysterious girl during a battle between Britanian authorities and terrorists. The girl gave him the Geass, the power to control people's minds through looking them in the eyes. Lelouch has always hate Britania ever since a child for personal reason, he wanted to know who ordered the killings of his mother. He then decided to battle Britania for his sister Nunally, and hid himself behind the mask Zero. Suzaku Kururugi has a big role in the series as well, he wishes to change Britania from the inside without bloodshed and a childhood friend of Lelouch, joined the army of Britania and became the ace pilot of Lancelot Knightframe.
This show has been in my anime-must-watch list for a while now, after watching the first few episodes of the series I admit that I got hooked. Every episodes of Code Geass always ended with a cliffhanger, making you look forward for the next episode. I thought at first that the main protagonist is Suzaku, or I would say even on the last episodes of the first season I thought he really is the Hero. To be honest, as I watch the sequel I lost the fun of watching it. But it's still worth to know the ending. Lelouch has gone mad, lost control of his power but unwittingly shows his vulnerable side when it comes to family and friends.
The show is exciting with mecha fighting and unique battle tactics. Lelouch indeed has a brilliant mind, however there are part of the anime that annoys me.
The OP and ED are great. All in all, I would still recommend everyone to watch it especially if you like Deathnote. My overall rate is 7/10.

Jovit is a 16-yr old Batangueño who joined the show with his superb performance of "Faithfully" for his audition. He was raised in Marilag, Batangas. On the show, he received the first standing ovation from the judges in Pilipinas Got Talent, it was an outstanding performance.

Kris vs Pacquiao
On Pacquiao's TV endorsement for Manny Villar, Aquino's rival in Presidential election. Pacquiao said, "Merong iba d'yan, laban ng laban sa salita pero wala pa namang nagawa." On Ms. Kris Aquino's twitter account, she said that she has seen Pacquiao's indirect hit to Presidential candidate Noynoy, clearly stating that her brother hasn't seen worth in politics. I really don't care if he is endorsing Villar.
In my opinion, Pacquiao is Pacquiao. He is a sports icon, a boxing champ. I look up to him for being highly loyal and has a strong love for his country. But I do not wish him to join politics as well. He once tried to enter politics but failed. I'd rather see him as someone giving encouragement to Filipino people. If he really wants to help our nation, politics is not always the answer. There are plenty of ways to help out the country. It's not always about how you WON in peoples hearts and who DID something in politics. I believe it's about how you give LOVE and RESPECT to your fellow people.
