Willie Revillame’s camp says there’s no truth to rumor that host’s TV5 contract will not be renewed

Arniel Serrato of PEP.ph reports that a representative from Willie Revillame's camp belied rumors that TV5 will no longer renew the contract of the TV host-comedian.

According to the report, the rumor was based on a blog entry which said that Revillame was asking for a "P90 million per month" talent fee. A meeting supposedly took place between Revillame and a TV5 executive on May 16 where the executive told the host that his contract with the network will not be renewed.

Jay Montelibano, business unit head of the show Wowowillie, said in the report however that the blog entry's claims are false. In his text message to PEP.ph, Montelibano said: "I don't think there's any truth to that coz Kuya Willie and I were together last night (May 16) at Wil's Events Place, hence no such meeting took place." Montelibano added that he also has "no idea where the 90M/mo (talent fee demand) is coming from."
