Revillame's closed-door meeting with Kapamilya bosses set for May 24

The much-anticipated closed-door meeting of Willie Revillame with ABS-CBN chairman and CEO Eugenio "Gabby" Lopez III and president and COO Charo Santos-Concio is scheduled on May 24। Reports have it that the meeting was originally set for May 13, but it did not push through because Revillame flew to Macau to unwind right after the national elections, during which he campaigned for Nacionalista party standard bearer Manny Villar. A source said the meeting is one of the most important matters that the TV host will attend to upon returning. Revillame has been absent from his daily hosting chores for noontime show "Wowowee" for two weeks now beginning May 5, a day after he threatened to resign from the show if the ABS-CBN management does not fire showbiz radio anchor Jobert Sucaldito. Revillame said he was incensed by Sucaldito's comments about his featuring high school graduates who got passing grades from 75% to 79% on his show. He challenged the management to choose between him and Sucaldito. The beleaguered TV host stood by his decision to resign in a taped interview aired May 7 on "Bandila." "I mean what I say," Revillame stressed. "Natatakot ka bang mawalan ng trabaho? 'Pag magaling ka, may bilib ka sa sarili mo, 'wag kang matakot. May kukuha sa iyo. Dapat ganoon ang prinsipyo mo sa buhay. Ba't ka matatakot? Isa lang ba ang channel?" he said, seemingly alluding to Sucaldito. Revillame's contract with ABS-CBN will expire next year. A source told Bulletin Entertainment that Santos-Concio texted a long message to Revillame before he left Manila, asking him to make amends with Lopez and apologize.
