Joey de Leon was upset with the memo he received from GMA-7 officials and Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) regarding his actions and comments. This made the veteran host-comedian to file an indefinite leave of absence in his showbiz talk show, Startalk.
According to Joey, he was unclear of the memo he received and because Startalk is a talkshow, he decided to temporarily leave to avoid making a mistake and save the show and his co-host from being reprimanded.
“Explain before I comply,” said Joey asking MTRCB and his station officials to clear what he is to do and not to do.

Congressman Abante wants Chairman Laguardia to Step Down from her Office
"I am calling on the chairperson of the MTRCB to resign because she is not doing her job."
This was Congressman Bienvenido Abante’s call for Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairwoman Consoliza Laguardia last September 4, 2007 regarding the Wilyonaryo controversy.
According to Manila 6th District Congressman Abante, Chairman Laguardia failed to give sufficient initiative to investigate the incident that happened on Wowowee on its Wilyonaryo segment last August 20.
On the other hand, Laguardia replied to Abante and said, “I serve in the pleasure of the president. Siya ang nag-appoint sa akin at siya rin ang puwedeng magsabi kung kailangan ko nang umalis, Ire-request ko rin siya na medyo umatras at makipag-usap din sa DTI [Department of Trade and Industry] para sabay-sabay naming maguwardiyahan itong telebisyon”
According to Laguardia, it is not their concern when it comes to mechanics of the game show, they are a classification board, what they do is to classify if a show is for General Patronage or for Parental Guidance.
When it comes to initiative, she made a move to mediate on the feud between Willie Revillame of Wowowee and Joey de Leon of Eat Bulaga.
The Department of Trade and Industry undersecretary Zeny Maglaya confirmed that they are the one responsible on regulating the game shows aired on television and now they already created a task force to investigate the Wilyonaryo controversy.

MTRCB Appeals to End Word War Between Willie Revillame and Joey De Leon
MTRCB chairwoman Consoliza Laguardia set off a meeting between rival noontime show hosts Joey de Leon (Eat Bulaga) and Willie Revillame (Wowowee) to end their public bickering over the issue of the alleged rigged game portion and personal attacks.
This planned meeting did not push through on Friday. Revillame together with director Edgar Mortiz arrived in Laguardia’s office but Joey on the other hand did not make it due to previous commitment for a television taping.
According to Laguardia, she initiated the mediation between the two hosts. She believes that they have a big responsibility to their audience.
Meanwhile, ABS-CBN welcomes any investigation regarding the controversy. They vowed full cooperation and is willing to participate to settle the issue.

Joey de Leon's sharp words to Willie Revillame on DZBB Radio Interview
With the steaming issue between Joey de Leon and Willie Revillame, each can't hold of themselves to exchange sharp words with each other.
Before Joey aired his response on Eat Bulaga to Willie Revillame's outburst on his noon time game show Wowowee, He was able to have a phone-patch interview with Ali Sotto and Arnold Clavio on Double A sa Double B on DZBB.
Here's the transcribed phone-patch interview of Joey courtesy of Abante news paper."Natawa lang ako.. Ganoon pala ‘yon. Wala siyang alam. Mababaw. Hindi niya kayang magpaliwanag. Hindi niya kaya na mag-sorry."
"Lahat nang sinabi niya, punto por punto, sablay lahat. Isa lang ang half-truth doon, ‘yung nagpaalam siya sa akin bago pumasok (as Wowowee host). Totoo ‘yon, nagpunta siya sa akin...Tingin ko, hindi paalam. Pinagyabangan ako. Sinungaling talaga."
"Magaling maggawa ng drama. Dinadrama niya lahat... Mahal ko po kayooo.. May taong ganoon. Malansa...traydor."
"Hindi ko binabanggit ang pangalan niya. Hindi ko binabanggit ang show niya. Di sana, idinemanda niya ako. Daldal siya nang daldal."
"Nanggagamit, ginagamit ako. Wala lang sigurong...Umiiwas sa isyu.. Dina-damage control."
"Bakit ganoon? Bakit siya, hindi siya magsalita? Buti pa ‘yung kompanya niya (referring to ABS-CBN’s statement)."
Nang ulitin ni Arnold ang sinabi ni Willie na mahirap maging solo host ng isang show, ito ang opinyon ni Joey:
"Loko pala siya, puwede siyang kumuha ng kasama pero.. Paano, gusto niya siya ang bida."
"Ayaw niya na masapawan siya ng iba. Mayabang talaga ang animal na ‘yan. Kaya ba niyang mag-show ng anim?"
Bago natapos ang interview sa kanya nina Ali at Arnold, nagsalita si Joey na naaawa ito kay Willie. To quote him:
"Naaawa nga ako dahil bobo..."

Joey de Leon Reacts through his Column
Everybody is eager to get Joey de Leon's side regarding Willie's outburst of feelings yesterday in his noontime show Wowowee.
Willie shed tears as he defend himself to what Joey said on the other network.
Joey de Leon is a regular columnist of Manila Bulletin and in his column "De Leon's Den" he again give lines which would bring out another controversy and will be another talk of the town.
Here is a copy of Joey's column entitled "Transfer-Mers":"A little more than a week ago, I read somewhere in this paper that someone in the Kapamilya network remarked that, "Ang kapamilya hindi napapalitan, pero ang puso pwedeng i-transplant,"—obviously referring to the well-publicized and quite controversial transfer of a former known kapuso to their side.
"Well, maybe I thought, they even got an ovation for that statement from their audience and followers. And maybe too, the person who thought of it found the idea cute and brilliant. Hmmm... but you know, throughout history, there have been lines spoken, and even by the greatest of men, which when carefully examined closely, are silly and untrue.
"Take for instance—'You can't have your cake and eat it, too.' And, 'the best things in life are free.' Not quite true, right? Yung first one pwede siguro if you're a big star in television and you have a lot of what you call in the business—exchange deals.
"Or you're a young goddess of a woman and you have a filthy rich provider who is like a faucet—hot and cold. But all these have a "kapalit," kaya nga exchange deal, eh. In the first one, the big star will have to plug always. And in the second one, the sexy goddess will always be plugged.
"Transferring networks, or even working for some of these TV stations at the same time ("grossing the net"or "inter-networking") is not new to me. Remember, I belong to the only daily show in Philippine TV history, or maybe the world, which have aired in three different major networks; surviving and outlasting five presidents... and still counting! Yes, we are the KONTOT (Kings Of Network Transfers On Television)! We are the Transfermers!
"That is why this issue about this angel from heaven, I mean seven, who transferred to you know where, is the least of anxieties. I really just find their statement so untrue and unfair, and I feel I need to react (and besides, wala akong article for this week). O, eto na—tatagalugin ko na para mas may dating at may diin. At saka tutal Tagalog din naman yung binitiwang mga salita eh. Ready?
"Maganda lang siguro pakinggan ‘yung mga sinabi n'yo, pero ikinalulungkot ko, mali eh. Para bang isang babaeng nagparetoke—mukha lang maganda, pero hindi totoo.
"Una, pwede bang magharap kayo sa akin ng tao na nagpa-transplant ng puso na nagtagal ang buhay?! Pwede talaga, pero pwede bang magtagal?
"Pangalawa, lalo na sa panahon ngayon, ang daling magpalit ng pamilya ng mga tao. ‘Yung iba nga may pamilya dito, may pamilya duon eh. Sa showbiz na lang—ilan sa inyo at sa atin ang nagpalit na ng pamilya?
"Sa totoo lang, ito ang mas tumpak—ang puso natin ay mahirap palitan, pero ang pamilya pwede—at pwede pang dagdagan.
"At eto pa ang isang dumadagundong na katotohanan—pwede tayong mabuhay nang walang pamilya, pero hindi tayo pwedeng mabuhay ng walang puso.
"Alam nyo, may art din yung pagsundot at patama. But naturally, all these are 'tuksuhan lang.' Tayong lahat ay may mga pinagsamahan. Magkikita at maaring magkasama rin tayo balang araw. Kaya, walang pikunan. Paliwanagan lang. Biruan lang. Teasing is not bad. Cheating is... on TV!"
