The Crying Dancing Boy Incident: A Timeline


Few televised performances have had the public impact of six-year-old Mike's (not his real name) dance on the variety show Willing Willie last March 12. The sight of a crying boy gyrating in front of a howling audience and prodded by the program's famous host Willie Revillame spawned a viral social media campaign, a probe by the government's TV review board MTRCB, ad pullouts by some of the country's biggest firms, and calls for reform across the TV industry. GMA News Online has produced a timeline tracking the still unfolding story. It will be updated as new developments happen. — GMA News Collated by Candice Montenegro, with additional reporting by Marnie Tonson Timeline JavaScript by Wayne Manuel
