DOJ exempts Revillame from Ultra tragedy case

Willie Revillame, noontime game show host of Wowowee was exempted by the Department of Justice regarding the Ultra Stampede that happened a year and a half ago.


February 4, 2004, when thousands of Wowowee supporters and wannabe millionaires rush in to Philsports Arena in Pasig City as Wowowee celebrates its first year anniversary. Unfortunately, the supposed to be happy celebration was turned into a shocking stampede which killed 71 people.

In a seven-page resolution, Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez approved the petition for review filed by Revillame which sought a reversal of the finding of probable cause for reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and physical injuries by Senior State Prosecutor Leo Dacera III against him.
