Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN head for TV Production, issued a statment regarding the Wowowee controversial. Here's her statement:

"We launched a new game segment in 'Wowowee' titled Wilyonaryo. On the second day of its launch (August 20), we discovered a design flaw. There were two numbers in the same wheel, which became subject to questioning. On the next day, we corrected the flaw. While the design of the game may be flawed, we have no intention to manipulate results, but rather to add excitement and suspense,"

"Unfortunately, a game show can experience glitches in its initial stages of development. But we wish to assure the public that we would increase our vigilance in the development of our games in the protection of public interest,"

"We assure the public that all games and contests in 'Wowowee' are executed with transparency, fairness, and honesty. 'Wowowee' will continue to give cheer, help, and fulfill the dreams of millions of viewers around the world,"

"We never intended to fool our public. Rest assured that in ABS-CBN we are always guided by our values of honesty and integrity. Nandito po kami para magpasaya ng aming televiewers, ng mga Pilpino sa buong mundo at magbigay ng katuparan sa mga pangarap,".
