Public anger over TV host Willie Revillame's on-air outburst on the inclusion of the video footage of former President Cory Aquino's cortege in the Aug. 3 episode of “Wowowee” is yet to wane.

Still, Willie has supporters, too, some of whom staged a rally in front of the ABS-CBN compound last Aug. 17.

ABS-CBN issued a statement on the TV host’s defense the next day – followed by the expression of support from songwriter Lito Camo.

"Nandu'n ako nung nangyari yon. Masaya, marami kaming bisita that time kaya naintindihan ko ang naramdaman ni Willie nung nakita niyang may ganun [cortege]," Lito told Manila Bulletin Online during the presscon of “Show Me The Manny.”

So used to Willie's in-your-face demeanor, Lito was not surprised at all when the TV host let loose on air.

"Hindi na bago sa amin 'yon. Alam mo naman ang ugali ni Willie, napaka-perfectionist niya. Pagdating sa trabaho, one hundred percent [ang binibigay niya]," was Lito’s explanation for Willie’s outburst.

Willie, to Lito's assessment, did not disrespect Madam Cory.

"Hindi ko sinisisi si Willie kasi gusto lang niyang mapaganda ang show," Lito said.

He added: “Ba't ganoon? Kapag nagkamali tayo ng isa, parang buong buhay mo, nagkamali ka na. Samantalang 'yong ginawa mong pagpapasaya sa tao sa araw-araw - 'yung pagod - hindi na nila nakikita.

“Tao lang naman tayong nagkakamali. Dapat pagbigyan na natin. Dapat patawarin na natin.  Ang hangad lang naman niya [Willie] ay magpasaya."

Willie has not been reporting to “Wowowee” for two weeks now. Does Lito know when and if he will come back?

"Hindi ko masagot yan,” he said. “Pero everytime na nag-uusap kami, lagi niyang iniisip yong mga taong nangangailangan na napapasaya niya na sana.”

“Pero ako, bilang kaibigan niya, [masasabi kong] marami siyang natutulungan hindi lang dito, kundi maging sa buong mundo. Gusto kong bumalik siya."

In case Willie leaves his Kapamilya family, will he follow his lead?

"Sabi ko nga, para kaming Batman and Robin. Hindi ako makakapagsalita nang tapos pero hindi lang naman pera-pera 'yan eh - may damdamin na involved diyan, eh. Depende nga kung ano ang magiging desisyon niya. Depende 'yan kung ano ang mangyayari."
