It seems like when Willie Revillame asked the TV Audience on Saturday-May 14, 2011 at the opening of the Pilot Episode of 'Wiltime Bigtime',  'Did You Missed Me?'-the ratings proved that Filipinos really missed him.

Controversial TV host Willie Revillame has reclaimed his title as leader of weekend primetime game show when his revamped TV5 early evening show "Wil Time Bigtime" posted a 37.5% audience share according to the data provided by Nielsen Media Research toppling competition within the same timeslot.

The 3-hour pilot episode of Wil Time Bigtime has posted an overwhelming audienceshare of 37.5% in MegaTAM; overtaking GMA-7's 26.0% and ABS-CBN's 19.5% audience shares, respectively.

Wil Time Bigtime's premiered last Saturday, May 14, with a very subdued Willie Revillame who expressed no disgust but only gratitude to his supporters and critics.

The host thanked his long time partners and supporters such as Sen. Manny Villar, Sen. Ernesto Maceda, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile and family. He also thank celebrities like Garvy Valenciano and his wife Angeli, Jose Mari Chan, among others.

He also thanked TV5 President Atty. Ray Espinosa and Movie and Television Reviewand Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairperson Grace Poe-Llamanzares.

But Willie said it was the words and encouragement of TV5 chairman Manny V. Pangilinan that encouraged him. "Your pain is our pain, your success is our success. Mr. MVP ngayon ko lang po narinig sa isang boss yan. Sobrang nabuhayan ako," Willie said.

Wil Time Bigtime's Saturday pilot has earned raves after it finally unveiled its state-of-the-art full high-definition LED floor which according to Jay Montelibano, the program's Business Unit Head costs 34 million pesos - the first of its kind in the country.

Its modern set fully enhances the excitement in most of its game segments including "Red, White, Blue" where studio contestants can get the chance to play for the Jackpot round of "Baligtaran." "Family Apir" was retained with another new jackpot round called "Will I Stick." "Roll It", "Wil Time Bigtime" plus the Mega Jackpot round of "Step Yes, Step No". Cash prizes have also been increased compared to its previous format.

The public's resounding welcome for the return of Willie Revillame on primetime TV proves his unwavering popularity among the Filipino masses. As a matter of fact, the show already gained support from some advertisers like Cherry mobile, Ysa, Bench daily scents, Pau liniment, Technomarine, Foton, Camella, Datu Puti, Skelan, Strepsils and many more. Jay Montelibano remains confident that other advertiserswill reinstate their confidence for the show.

Willie and his co-host, Valenzuela councilor Shalani Soledad, are very thankful to all those who stood by the show and promise to give their 101% percent for the constant improvement of the people's program.

Wil Time Bigtime airs weeknights at 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m.

Vic Sotto host of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' New Season on TV-5

One of my favorite quiz show! The millionaire fever is back. Beginning on May 15, Sunday, the world’s most popular game show is taking the Philippines by storm once more. Hosted by Bossing of Game Shows, Mr. Vic Sotto, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” kicks off its sixth season loaded with exciting additional lifelines, updated set technology and the chance for a lucky player to become 2 million pesos richer.

“As we enter our new season, we promise the viewers that we double the fun, excitement and tension in the sixth season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” That’s our final answer,” said Vic Sotto. To date, the game show has already given away more than P13 million in total prizes in its five-season run.

For the initial episodes of the all-new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” smart kids could be a few questions away to become young millionaires as the tension-filled game show features honor students recommended by their schools to get this once-in-a-lifetime chance to win P2 million. On top of the jackpot that will be split to the kid player and his/her respective school, win or lose, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” will award all the kid players college scholarships.

The overnight-millionaire dream is alive once again as Filipinos take their chance to defy the pressure from the hot seat for P2 million jackpot. To help the player along the way, the hot seat contestant can use lifelines available. Aside from pre-existing50-50 and Phone-A-Friend lifelines, the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” introduces added lifelines that will make the game even more exciting:People Speak and Switch. Through People Speak, the studio audience who answers correctly will have the chance to win up to P20,000. The Switch lifeline, meanwhile, entitles the contestant to switch out the original question for another question of the same value.

The game show that pioneered the craze over game shows on Philippine TV returned in May 2009 via its new home TV5. For the last decade since its debut in the UK in 1998, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has dominated the ratings game around the globe with international versions spawning in over a hundred countries, including its top-rating Philippine version.

While the elimination of players in the past was through Fastest Finger First round done in the studio, hot seat hopefuls this time will be selected through mallauditions. To register in the mall editions, text MILLION (space) Name/Age/Gender/Address to 2256 (Example: MILLION Mark Sy/21/M/12 Leo St., Quezon City). Each text costs P2.50 for Smart and Globe subscribers, and P2.00 forSun Cellular subscribers.

TV5’s version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” has recorded a first in local franchise history after Ms. Sharon Cuneta won the P2 million-peso jackpot for thebenefit of the children at Hospicio de San Jose last January 9, 2010. Some celebrities including Ms. Coney Reyes, Arnel Ignacio, Efren Peñaflorida, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez have also played and won for their chosen charities.

Don’t miss the new season of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” starting on May 15, Sunday, 7:30pm after Magic Bagsik on TV5.

2 Pinoys Star in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’

Two Filipino-American actors join Johnny Depp in his quest for the Fountain of Youth in Walt Disney Pictures’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

They are Daphne Joy and Michael Rosales, who play a mermaid and a pirate on the Queen Anne’s Revenge, respectively.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), Jack Sparrow (Depp) is not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica.

A multicultural actor/rap artist/performer, Michael Ilano Rosales was chosen to play a “pirate from the Philippines” from a pool of over 4,000 aspirants. It was also his first-ever acting audition. His Hollywood journey would take him from his home of Hawaii, across 11,000 kilometers to London, where his scenes in “On Stranger Tides” were shot.

As a musician, Rosales transforms into Mic3—Mic (Mike), short for Michael, 3 for the third child, and the 3 for the main islands of the Philippines. His goal is to reconstruct today’s hip-hop landscape, to bring it back to its artistic foundation and roots and provide a meaningful message to the listener. In 2008, Rosales released his first full-length album, “Respect My Pride.” The album features English and Filipino language music that inspires an appreciation of the Filipino culture and heritage. A feature video, “Balikbayan,” was filmed in the Philppines, reinforcing the cultural messages found in his music behind a backdrop of historical Philippine landmarks. Rosales has shared the stage with several notable performers, including Damian Marley and Busta Rhymes.

Counting the recent hit “Just Go With It” and such popular TV shows as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Criminal Minds” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” to her credits,Daphne Joy was born and raised in the heart of Olongapo, Philippines. Although her family relocated to Los Angeles when she was just 8 years old, she was able to retain her Filipino culture and upbringing. Despite the language barriers and overall culture shock, Daphne was able to completely readjust to her new surroundings, and with her natural beauty, easygoing personality and wit she made friends and was able to adapt to the American way of life.

Intrigued by her new country’s pop culture, Daphne became interested in entertainment, becoming involved in dance groups, choir, cheerleading and talent shows. At the age of 18 she transferred that interest to acting, and was soon working in front of the camera. She was also featured in several A-list recording artists’ music videos, along with commercials, national print campaigns, magazine covers and features.

Opening across the Philippines on May 2011, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have received the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Buckingham Palace said Friday.

William's dukedom is one of three titles bestowed by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II to mark his marriage to Middleton at Westminster Abbey. The titles also apply to Middleton.

William also became the Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, which means Middleton will become the Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus.

The second Duke of Cambridge, Prince Adolphus Frederick, was the seventh son of King George III. Defying the Royal Marriage Act, he married his mistress, Sarah Louisa Fairbrother, an actress and a commoner, in 1847. Since the marriage wasn't legal, his children were all illegitimate.

The palace announced the titles in a statement Friday.
