Wowowee Wilyonaryo fined for fraud

Wowowee

This is the aftermath of that whole “Joey De Leon explain before you complain” and Willie Revillame crying brouhaha that happened on national TV. Back in January, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) absolved the noontime show Wowowee from any irregularity resulting from its Wilyonaryo segment (Check out the video and transcript in that Wilyonaryo link). On the other hand, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) NCR filed an Administrative case against ABS-CBN as per a fact finding panel have recommended. The fact finding panel was composed of the Consumer Welfare Trade Group, Bureau of Trade Regulation Cosumer Protection, representatives from MTRCB, KBP, and a consumer organization Nationwide Association of Consumers.

ABS-CBN, in January has released this statement:

“ABS-CBN is extremely disappointed with the charges filed by the Department of Trade and Industry…ABS-CBN categorically denies any wrongdoing or violation of law. ABS-CBN is reiterates…there was a design flaw in the wheels but there was never any intention to gain any advantage over contestants or control te outcome of the contests. ABS-CBN will answer the charges and is confident that it will be absolved of any liability.”

On Monday, Oct. 13, 2008, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) formally released the results of its investigation and found ABS-CBN guilty of the irregularity in the Wowowee Wilyonaryo segment and ordered ABS-CBN to pay P290,000 in fines and with an execution of written undertaking. This is what in part is the dispositive portion of the 11 page judgment by the DTI:

“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.”
