An enterprising Facebook activist took pains to transcribe the audio-visual footage of the 48-minute episode from which the 10-minute “spliced" video clip of a crying dancing boy on TV5’s game show “Willing Willie" was taken.
The transcript apparently confirms what host Willie Revillame, TV5 management and their counsels had been saying about the boy crying after seeing basketball player Bonel Balingit and had lost the game to a girl contestant.
Anna Margarita Garcia posted Friday on her Facebook page a Note titled “‘Kantanong’ portion of Willing Willie (March 12, 2011 episode)" to put into proper context how this episode of TV5’s primetime game show led to its voluntary two-week suspension starting on April 11.
Garcia noted that “TV5 management & counsel pointed out that out of the 48 minute portion of the episode, only a ‘spliced’ 10-minute video clip was shown on YouTube. This transcription focuses on contestant number 5 because, precisely, he was the child allegedly subjected to abuse on the show."
In the transcript, it was noted that, just as TV5’s counsels had long maintained, the six-year-old boy came to tears only twice during the episode – first, moments after the boy saw Balingit towering over him, and second, after the boy lost in the elimination round to a little girl contestant.
The transcript also noted that when another little girl contestant had started crying, “Willie stopped, sympathized and asked her to stop crying, wiped her tears and let her sing again."
But it was also noted that Revillame called the crying dancing boy a “macho dancer" and compared his performance to the movie “Burlesk Queen," in which Vilma Santos played the character of a stripper who was obliged to continue dancing even though she was in extreme suffering.
What follows is the transcript posted by Garcia on her Facebook Wall.
“Kantanong" Portion of Willing Willie (March 12, 2011 episode) Transcription
by Anna Margarita Garcia on Friday, April 15, 2011 at 1:48pm
TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: Before going on a two-week voluntary suspension on April 11, TV5’s primetime game show “Willing Willie" used to air Mondays to Saturdays.
The game show’s main segment “Wiltime Bigtime" has six contestants competing in two rounds: the elimination round “Kantanong" and the jackpot round “Spin a Wil."
The game show host, Willie Revillame, would interview each of the contestants during “Kantanong" portion and have each of them showcase a talent. Depending on the contestant’s talent shown and the studio audience’s approval, Willie would give various amounts of cash rewards to each contestant.
All the contestants in the March 12 episode of Willing Willie in the Wiltime Bigtime portion were children.
TRANSCRIPTION BEGINS HERE
Contestants were called
1. Jenny, Grade 4, sang “Bring Me To Life" and got P5,000 as cash prize.
2. Joeann, 9-years old, sang “Stand Up For Life" and also got P5,000 as cash prize.
3. Madelle, 8-years old, sang “Would You Say You Love Me" and the host, Willie Revillame, praised her and asked her to sing again because she sang so well.
Madelle said she wants to be famous. Willie asked why, and she replied that she wanted to help her parents.
Willie asked her what was the first thing she would buy for her family once she was famous.
Madelle started crying, and Willie stopped, sympathized and asked her to stop crying, wiped her tears and let her sing again. Madelle sang "Listen".
After listening to Madelle sing, Willie gave her P15,000 as cash reward.
4. Ian, a little boy who did not disclose his age, sang a rap song to one of the game show dancers. He go P7,000 as cash reward.
On the fourth question, instead of saying “Kantanong!" Willie said “Question!" Then he corrected himself and said “Anong question!? *laughter* Anong tawag to. Kantanong! *laughter* Parang Wowowee tuloy to. *laughter* Baka sabihin pa nila ginagaya natin, eh dadudulas ah." *laughter*
(TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: “Wowowee" is the noontime show which Willie used to host in a different television network, ABS-CBN.)
5. Jan-Jan, 6-years old, went on stage. Willie to called over Bonel Balingit, a former basketball player, to stand beside him and Jan-Jan.
Willie said, "Jan Jan. Ano Jan? Suntukan, gusto mo? Ano? Parang naghahamon ka ng away! Ano? Ha? Ano?"
Balingit and Jan-Jan looked at each other.
*laughter*
After Willie gave the little boy a high five, Jan-Jan smiled.
Willie then permitted Jan-Jan to greet his parents.
Jan-Jan: “Binabati ko si papa ko, may parlor!"
Willie: “Nagtatawag ng tatay!"
*laughter*
Jan-Jan: “Binabati ko si papa ko, may parlor! ‘Tska si mama may birthday!"
Willie: “Sino? Sino may parlor?"
Jan-Jan: “Si mama."
Willie: “Yung tatay mo may ano?"
Jan-Jan: “Parlor."
*laughter*
Willie: “Bakit may parlor ang tatay mo? Ano siya?"
Jan-Jan: “Kasi, para hanap buhay."
Willie: “Hanap buhay, ano ginagawa niya sa parlor?"
Jan-Jan: “Gugupit."
Willie: “Gugupit? Siya ba nag-gupit sa iyo?"
Jan-Jan: “Opo."
Willie: “Ilan taon na si Jan-Jan?"
Jan-Jan: “6 po"
Willie: “6 na! Sino paborito mong singer?"
Jan-Jan: “Si…(pauses)… Hindi po ako kakanta!"
*laughter*
Willie: "Ah hindi ka ba kakanta" *laughter* “Sorry, ah. Akala ko kakanta ka, eh. Okay, sino… Dancer? Mga dancer? Gusto mo ng dancing?"
Willie then asks if the boy’s parents were also in the studio game show set. The camera shows Jan-Jan’s aunt who had brought him to the show that day.
Jan-Jan gets teary eyed after greeting & thanking his parents & aunt.
Willie: “Bakit ka naiiyak? Bakit ka naiiyak? Naiiyak ka? Sasayaw ka, ‘di ba? Pakita mo talent mo, Jan-Jan, ah? Pakiss muna si tito Willie. Palakpakan natin si Jan-jan!
