Entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin did not hold back her thoughts as news broke that Willie Revillame’s show on TV5 was suddenly taken off the air — a move that sent shockwaves across Philippine showbiz. But what stunned many even more was the replacement: an alleged upcoming comeback show of none other than the Superstar herself — Nora Aunor (Ate Guy).

Cristy, known for her sharp tongue and no-filter opinions, questioned the decision during her online commentary, wondering if TV5 made the right call by pulling out a high-rating personality like Willie, only to replace it with what she calls a “sentimental gamble.”

“Ang dami-dami pang artista na fresh, na may hatak sa masa. Tapos bigla na lang si Ate Guy ang ipapalit? Hindi ko minamaliit ang legacy niya — Superstar siya — pero iba na ang takbo ng panahon ngayon,” she said.

However, Cristy also acknowledged the weight of Nora Aunor’s name in Philippine entertainment, saying, “If there’s anyone who can command the attention of all generations, it’s Nora. But the question is — can nostalgia beat current trends?”

WHY WAS WILLIE’S SHOW CANCELLED?

According to insiders, low ratings and poor advertiser support were factors in the quiet pulling of Willie Revillame’s program from the TV5 lineup. While the host has yet to make a statement, sources say Willie was “deeply hurt” and blindsided by the decision.

THE SUPRISE COMEBACK OF NORA AUNOR

Rumors are now swirling that the vacant time slot is being prepared for an emotional, docu-drama talk show centered on Nora Aunor’s life, legacy, and interviews with other legends. This has sparked excitement among Nora’s die-hard fans — many of whom haven’t seen her on a regular TV show in years.

Cristy concluded her segment with a bittersweet note:

“I have nothing against Nora. In fact, I admire her. Pero sana, huwag tayong magbuwis ng isang Willie para sa isang eksperimento.
