Two major incidents involving ABS-CBN have involved the networks ' variety show '' Wowowee '' . Demand for tickets to a one-year anniversary episode of the show at the PhilSports Arena in 2006 caused a deadly stampede killing 76 people . Over a year later in August 2007 , the show became entrenched in another scandal involving the possibility of a new game on the show being rigged as evident by a " mechanical glitch " which occurred during an episode , which grew greater after '' Eat Bulaga ! '' host Joey de Leon and '' Wowowee '' host Willie Revillame started exchanging attacks on-air against each other during their respective and competing shows . The incident later led to a probe by the Department of Trade and Industry led by senator Mar Roxas ( which was jokingly suggested by Joey during a speech he made on '' Eat Bulaga ! '' in reference to the Hello Garci scandal , dubbing it " Hello Pappy " )
