DTI - WILYONARYO segment of Wowowee violates Republic Act 7394
MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Monday formally released the results of its investigation on the administrative charges filed against a defunct segment of ABS-CBN noontime show.
In its 11-page decision, the DTI found the defunct "Wilyonaryo," segment of the noontime show Wowowee, to have violated Republic Act 7394 or the Consumers Act of the Philippines, a report of GMANews 24 Oras’ Susan Enriquez said.
"A reasonable assessment of the existing game mechanics and procedures implemented at the time of the subject 20 August 2007 Wilyonaryo episode reveals that the game show segment allowed a reasonable likelihood of error and provided the host and organizers significant latitude in controlling the outcome of the contest," the decision said.
With such developments, the bureau ordered the ABS-CBN to pay the P290,000 fine and come up with an execution of written undertaking, the report added.
GMA News tried to get the side of ABS-CBN regarding the issue Monday but they were told that ABS would not be able to give its side for the meantime.
It was on August 20, 2007 that "Wilyonaryo" became controversial because the violet "jackpot" wheel contained two numbers "0"and "2," a report from Philippine Entertainment Portal said.

GMA-7 prepares for their upcoming new shows
Select members of the entertainment press, including PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), had an intimate lunch with the lady executives of GMA-7 earlier today, September 26, at the 17th floor of GMA Network Center in Quezon City.
The five Kapuso lady executives present were Ms. Wilma Galvante, SVP for Entertainment TV; Ms. Marivin Arayata, VP for Entertainment TV; Ms. Lilybeth Rasonable, AVP for Drama; Ms. Darling de Jesus, AVP for Musical & Variety, and Ms. Janine Piad-Nacar, AVP for Games & Talk.They shared to the press their plans for the rest of the year and the first quarter of 2009. Before 2008 ends, six new shows will premiere and a new season of a game show will begin.
DRAMA SHOWS.
Three new primetime series are slated to replace three soaps that will end this year. First on the list is the Filipino version of La Lola, a hit comedy series that originated in Argentina. This Rhian Ramos-JC de Vera starrer will premiere on October 13 replacing Regine Velasquez's Ako Si Kim Samsoon.Next in line is Carlo J. Caparas's Gagambino featuring Dennis Trillo in the title role. It will premiere on October 20 replacing Dyesebel starring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.Mark Anthony Fernandez and Heart Evangelista will team up for the first time in Luna Mystica, a romance-fantasy.
This is scheduled to premiere on November 17 and will replace Richard Gutierrez's Codename: Asero, in which Heart is also the leading lady.In the Dramarama Sa Hapon block, Saan Darating Ang Umaga will replace Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan in mid-November. Based on a 1983 Viva films movie directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes, the TV version will star Lani Mercado in the role of Nida Blanca and Yasmien Kurdi playing the role originally portrayed by Maricel Soriano.
GAME SHOWS.
Three game shows are also lined up this year. One of the longest-running game shows around the world, Family Feud makes a return to the Philippines this time hosted by hunky actor Richard Gomez. This will premiere on October 13. Family Feud will occupy the timeslot of Arnell Ignacio's Gobingo.Janno Gibbs's educational game show Kakasa Ka Ba Sa Grade 5? will be back for its second season on November 15. It will take over the timeslot of Celebrity Duets, which will have its finals on November 8.Finally, a franchise of the reality TV sports show My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad, created by Survivor's Mark Burnett, is now in the Philippines. In this show, a number of dads will be paired with their kids and they will compete in each episode playing stunts and answering questions.
GMA-7 is still on the lookout for the show's host, but it is already set to premiere on November 23 after the second season of Tok! Tok! Tok! Isang Milyon Pasok ends.It was also announced that both Bubble Gang and Startalk will celebrate their 13th anniversary this year.
FUTURE PROJECTS.
Year 2009 promises to be a bigger year for the Kapuso network because of the gigantic projects lined up in the first quarter alone.
As reported earlier by PEP, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera will still be paired together in their next primetime series. Ms. Lilybeth Rasonable revealed that Dingdong and Marian will star in the TV adaptation of the 1980 drama movie Ang Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang, which starred Vivian Velez and the late Eddie Rodriguez.
The lady executives of GMA-7 also confirmed PEP's report that Richard Gutierrez will don the mask of Zorro as his next project after Codename: Asero.
Another exciting project of the Kapuso network next year is the TV adaptation of Totoy Bato, which starred the King of Philippine Movies Fernando Poe, Jr. In the new version, the title role will be portrayed by action superstar Robin Padilla with possibly boxing champ Manny Pacquiao in the cast. But what really surprised us about Totoy Bato is Robin's leading lady—Regine Velasquez. This will be the follow-up project of the Asia's Songbird after the highly-successful Ako Si Kim Samsoon.
Speaking of Ako Si Kim Samsoon, another Koreanovela will be adapted for Philippine TV next year—the hit drama All About Eve. A story of two rival journalists, All About Eve will star Sunshine Dizon and Iza Calzado, who have worked together before in Impostora.
Aside from My Name Is Kim Samsoon and All About Eve, GMA-7 has also bought the rights of two other Koreanovelas: the romantic comedies Full House and Coffee Prince.
Ms. Wilma Galvante revealed that Full House is really intended for Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera, but the casting might change depending on the availability of the two major Kapuso stars. As for Coffee Prince, GMA-7 has yet to decide who will play the lead roles.
As for the highly-anticipated Captain Barbell Meets Darna, Ms. Galvante assured that it will finally push through next year; although she did not disclose whether Richard will reprise his role as Captain Barbell or who will play Darna.
NEW GMA BUILDING.
To top these exciting projects, GMA-7 is about to inaugurate its new building on October 17. The GMA Network Studios, which is located directly across the old GMA Building on Jamboree St., will house state-of-the-art studios.
This includes Studio 4, touted to be the biggest in the Philippines and can accommodate as 1,000 people.
This will soon be the house of SOP and other live shows of GMA-7.GMA-7 disclosed that they spent P1 billion for the new GMA Network Studios .

It will premiere on October 20 replacing Dyesebel starring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.Mark Anthony Fernandez and Heart Evangelista will team up for the first time in Luna Mystica, a romance-fantasy.
This is scheduled to premiere on November 17 and will replace Richard Gutierrez's Codename: Asero, in which Heart is also the leading lady.In the Dramarama Sa Hapon block, Saan Darating Ang Umaga will replace Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan in mid-November. Based on a 1983 Viva films movie directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes, the TV version will star Lani Mercado in the role of Nida Blanca and Yasmien Kurdi playing the role originally portrayed by Maricel Soriano.
GAME SHOWS.
Three game shows are also lined up this year. One of the longest-running game shows around the world, Family Feud makes a return to the Philippines this time hosted by hunky actor Richard Gomez. This will premiere on October 13. Family Feud will occupy the timeslot of Arnell Ignacio's Gobingo.Janno Gibbs's educational game show Kakasa Ka Ba Sa Grade 5? will be back for its second season on November 15. It will take over the timeslot of Celebrity Duets, which will have its finals on November 8.Finally, a franchise of the reality TV sports show My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad, created by Survivor's Mark Burnett, is now in the Philippines. In this show, a number of dads will be paired with their kids and they will compete in each episode playing stunts and answering questions.
GMA-7 is still on the lookout for the show's host, but it is already set to premiere on November 23 after the second season of Tok! Tok! Tok! Isang Milyon Pasok ends.It was also announced that both Bubble Gang and Startalk will celebrate their 13th anniversary this year.
FUTURE PROJECTS.
Year 2009 promises to be a bigger year for the Kapuso network because of the gigantic projects lined up in the first quarter alone.
As reported earlier by PEP, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera will still be paired together in their next primetime series. Ms. Lilybeth Rasonable revealed that Dingdong and Marian will star in the TV adaptation of the 1980 drama movie Ang Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang, which starred Vivian Velez and the late Eddie Rodriguez.
The lady executives of GMA-7 also confirmed PEP's report that Richard Gutierrez will don the mask of Zorro as his next project after Codename: Asero.
Another exciting project of the Kapuso network next year is the TV adaptation of Totoy Bato, which starred the King of Philippine Movies Fernando Poe, Jr. In the new version, the title role will be portrayed by action superstar Robin Padilla with possibly boxing champ Manny Pacquiao in the cast. But what really surprised us about Totoy Bato is Robin's leading lady—Regine Velasquez. This will be the follow-up project of the Asia's Songbird after the highly-successful Ako Si Kim Samsoon.
Speaking of Ako Si Kim Samsoon, another Koreanovela will be adapted for Philippine TV next year—the hit drama All About Eve. A story of two rival journalists, All About Eve will star Sunshine Dizon and Iza Calzado, who have worked together before in Impostora.
Aside from My Name Is Kim Samsoon and All About Eve, GMA-7 has also bought the rights of two other Koreanovelas: the romantic comedies Full House and Coffee Prince.
Ms. Wilma Galvante revealed that Full House is really intended for Richard Gutierrez and Marian Rivera, but the casting might change depending on the availability of the two major Kapuso stars. As for Coffee Prince, GMA-7 has yet to decide who will play the lead roles.
As for the highly-anticipated Captain Barbell Meets Darna, Ms. Galvante assured that it will finally push through next year; although she did not disclose whether Richard will reprise his role as Captain Barbell or who will play Darna.
NEW GMA BUILDING.
To top these exciting projects, GMA-7 is about to inaugurate its new building on October 17. The GMA Network Studios, which is located directly across the old GMA Building on Jamboree St., will house state-of-the-art studios.
This includes Studio 4, touted to be the biggest in the Philippines and can accommodate as 1,000 people.
This will soon be the house of SOP and other live shows of GMA-7.GMA-7 disclosed that they spent P1 billion for the new GMA Network Studios .
myGMA online TV brings Pinoy shows to overseas Filipinos
Philippines - The country's leading media company is optimistic with the success of a new website aimed at providing locally-produced entertainment, news and public affairs content to overseas Filipinos. GMA Network, Inc. and its subsidiary New Media, Inc.'s (NMI) www.mygma.com.ph goes online on Wednesday. The website gives Filipinos abroad an alternative to watching GMA shows, which are currently available through direct-to-home cable and satellite services. "The aspiration has always been to reach a market that we couldn't reach," GMA Network Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto Duavit Jr. told GMANews.TV.
NMI shelled out $1 million to establish the infrastructure for MyGMA. Another P100 million has been earmarked for product development and marketing until the end of the year, NMI President and Chief Operating Officer Judd I Gallares said. GMA President Felipe L Gozon in August said NMI's first half growth was dragged by a major investment for the subsidiary's new venture.
Gallares said, however, that the return on investments for MyGMA is seen in 12 to 18 months. "We already reached the subscribers' revenue quota for three months," Gallares added. MyGMA is currently offering a free trial period of seven days for the use of the website. Subscriber fees start at 99 cents for a day pass. The Sulit Package costs $7.99 a month for current GMA shows, including episodes in the past three months; while the Bongga Package costs $12.99 a month for current GMA and QTV shows, including three months' worth of past episodes, and archived telenovelas dating to as far back as 2006.
