UPDATE: Willie Revillame has apologized for the remarks, according to this INQUIRER.net story. Meanwhile, the online petition launched by irate viewers and Internet users against Revillame has gathered 7,309 signatures, as of this writing.

Here’s a clip posted on YouTube of Willie Revillame, host of the popular ABS-CBN noontime show “Wowowee,” reacting to the video of former Philippine president Corazon “Cory” Aquino’s cortege.

Aquino’s remains were transferred yesterday from La Salle Greenhills to Manila Cathedral, and thousands of Filipinos lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the procession/convoy and pay their respects. ABS-CBN, which by the way is the “official broadcast partner of the Aquino family,” was covering the cortege on TV and livestreaming it on the Web.

When “Wowowee” started airing, ABS-CBN showed the video of the Aquino cortege as an inset.

Here’s the video on YouTube showing Revillame’s reaction in the middle of interviewing a contestant on the noontime show.

I won’t even say anything. Just watch the video, and you be the judge.

Thanks to Rainier Contreras’ tweet for the heads up on this YouTube clip.
