Wowowee Wilyonaryo - Scam or Honest Mistake?

ABS CBN’s noontime show Wowowee faces yet another controversy with their new segment called “Wilyonaryo” which started last Saturday, August 18. But on Monday, August 20, something fishy happened. Watch the full 8 minutes and 45 seconds video clip after the jump…

This game is like a pinball wherein the winning contestant is asked to choose a colored wheel. The contestant will then choose “Wilyonaryo” o “Winame”.

If the contestant picked “Wilyonaryo”, she or he has a chance to win 2 million pesos, one million pesos, 500 thousand pesos or a house and lot. If he picked “Winame” (coined term for “uwi na ako”), he/she will bring home the offered amount of Willie Revillame. Kinda like Pera o Bayong.

Last Monday, a contestant named Weng made it to the final jackpot round. She picked the white wheel but later gave it up and chose “Winame” when the amount of money offered by Willie reached to P100,000.00.

It’s a good deal because the white wheel contains zero. But when Willie revealed the content of the remaining wheels, all seem to be in places like the 1 million pesos, the house and lot and the 500,000 pesos. Then he announced that the two million is in the violet wheel. But the content of the violet wheel is also “zero” and not the P 2 million.

“Ah, ‘yon, walang laman!” said co-host Mariel Rodriguez.

“Mali-mali, sandali… Ang P2 million…ay hawak-hawak ko pala!” said Willie Revillame, and then he gave one of the dancers the film containing the number 2.

Honest mistake nga ba ang nangyari o totoong scam? Ano sa tingin nyo?
