In a revelation that could only seemingly bury Willie Revillame further in the estimation of many--considering how people are already calling him names like "arrogant" and "bully"--actress-host Kris Aquino disclosed on “The Buzz” on Aug. 30 that the beleaguered “Wowowee” host is intending to buy a private plane.

Aquino said Revillame made this revelation during the birthday celebration of Bench owner Ben Chan the night before.

“He's buying a jet but [Revillame] is sharing the jet with two partners,” Aquino said.

As she is wont to do, Aquino insinuated herself in the issue saying Revillame had already promised to take her two children - Joshua and Baby James – to Hong Kong via this new aircraft.

“He promised me so right now, I’m already thanking him—thank you Willie..”

Revillame is currently “on leave” from “Wowowee” after the public bewailed his outburst asking for his mother network ABS-CBN to stop airing former president, Cory Aquino’s funeral cortege on the show, Aug. 3.

Although Revillame had already apologized to the Aquino family, the public outcry over his action continues.

That said, ABS CBN has “extended” his leave of absence until Sept. 21, which they explained form part of the “conciliation/compromise settlement” reached with the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Thursday, Aug. 27.

The memorandum of settlement was signed by ABS-CBN legal counsels Maximilan Uy and Cherrie Cruz, MTRCB chair Marissa Laguardia and adjudication committee head Paulino Cases, following the complaint issued by the MTRCB, Aug. 11.

Revillame toured parts of Davao and Cagayan de Oro over the last two weeks conducting concerts sponsored by presidential aspirant, Senator Manny Villar—an ardent friend and supporter.
