Another scandal is now faced by the noontime show of ABS-CBN, Wowowee. Philippine Entertainment Portal reported last Wednesday that Nena Santos, July 7, 2008 winner of the segment Bigtime Pera o Bayong complained that her Brand New House and Lot Prize from the game show is NOT REALLY a brand new House and Lot at all. What???
The 56-year-old Santos said that after receiving the certification, she thought everything would be smooth and easy in getting her "dream house," which is located at Santa Barbara Villas II in San Mateo, Rizal.
Take note, she won last July 7, 2008, and she only got her "Brand New House and Lot" only after 7 months! Weird.
"Pagdating namin doon [sa San Mateo], hinanap namin si Engineer Lalaine. Sabi niyang ganun, may laman pa raw 'yong bahay dahil na-repossessed yung ibinibigay sa akin at may laman pa. Hindi na brand new, repossessed ang bahay at may laman pa," she said.
The complainant was really disappointed especially when she recalled what Wowowee host Willie told her during the day she won as the second-prize winner of "Big Time Pera o Bayong." She said, "Sinabi pang ganun, 'Naku, nanay, magandang bahay 'yan sa Saint Monique [Valais], kaloob ng Globe Asiatique, kumpleto ang gamit."
What's more shocking with her story is the paper she's holding now, it's not an ownership title, but A PERMIT TO OCCUPY only. Meaning, she can be evicted anytime.
Santos is now seeking help from DTI, she also took this opportunity to call the attention of Wowowee contestants who may have the same fate as hers. She suspected that she's not the only winning contestant who experienced this kind of treatment.
