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.
Â
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.
Â
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."
