It is another deja-vu moment for Willie Revillame in his variety show Wowowin, as another contestant caller cursed at him over the phone last Tuesday, October 13.
After Revillame asked the contestant to confirm her name, he bade farewell in jest. This prompted the caller, who happened to be a 17-year-old girl named Glaiza, to curse at the television host.
"T*ng*na mo!" Glaiza shouted over the phone, causing Willie to be in a state of shock in his "Tutok To Win" segment of the Kapuso show.
After repeatedly telling the Grade 12 student from Ilocos Sur who he is, Revillame asked her why she cursed at him, to which she replied that she thought he was a prank caller.
"Sorry po...humihingi po ako ng pasensya sa nasabi ko," Glaiza told Revillame.
Revillame, then, advised her and future callers to never curse at phone callers even when calls are scams.
"Ang payo ko lang sa natatawagan, kahit na may scam eh 'wag kayong magmumura. Kasi kung totoo [ang tawag] paano 'yan?" the host-actor said on air.
"Kasi nag-text ka sa amin [ng] 'Sana kuya ako matawagan mo para pambili ko ng laptop para sa online class namin,’” he added.
"Tutok To Win" is a segment that gives chance to contestants nationwide to get P5000 or more, as part of Revillame's way of helping Filipinos amidst these trying times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aspiring contestants are required to subscribe to the YouTube channel of Wowowin, like and follow its Facebook page, and comment down their personal details, including their telephone number.
Despite being cursed at, Revillame gave Glaiza P20,000 and an Android tablet that can help her with her online classes.
This was not the first time Revillame was cursed by a caller on national television. It could be recalled that last May, he was also called "G*go!" by a contestant after thinking he was a prank caller.
