Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin urged the netizens to avoid criticizing the possible new hosts of the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga.
In an episode of her online program, Fermin said that celebrities who would be tasked to replace the legendary trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon didn’t deserve to be quickly criticized.
“Kung sakali po na may mga artista na papayag na mag-host ng Eat Bulaga ngayong wala na ang Tito, Vic and Joey at Dabarkads, huwag po natin silang i-bash, trabaho po ito. Hindi po ilang tao lang ang may karapatang mabuhay at mamuhay nang maayos,” said Fermin.
“Hayaan po natin. Alok po ‘yan. Trabaho po ‘yan, walang personalan po rito trabaho lang talaga,” she added.
It can be recalled that entertainment columnist Jun Lalim revealed the possible names of celebrities that would become the new host of Eat Bulaga which was fully controlled by Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.
They’re Paolo Contis, Betong, Buboy Villar, Kuya Kim Atienza, and Alexa Miro.
It was expected that the new hosts would appear on Monday, June 5.
Meanwhile, the resigned Dabarkads were reportedly planning to transfer to TV5, to rival GMA Network which sided with Tape Inc. and Eat Bulaga.
