Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin revealed why Ryzza Mae Dizon had been set to get removed from Eat Bulaga.
In her online program ‘Showbiz Now Na’, Fermin said that the rumored reason TAPE Inc. why wanted to remove Ryzza because of her appearance.
“Alam mo sa kanilang apat, pinaka nasaktan ako kay Ryzza Mae, nasubaybayan ko kasi noong manalo siya sa Little Miss Philippines kung papaano pa siya binigyan ng isa pang programa ng TAPE Inc,” Cristy said.
“Alam niyo na lumaban ‘yung bata, na meron siyang dahilan.. na may cause ‘yung kanyang talento, pagtulong sa pamilya, nakaangat din ang kanyang talento sa klase ng programa katulad ng Eat Bulaga,” she added.
According to Cristy’s co-host Rommel Chika, Ryzza’s contribution to Eat Bulaga was undeniable. They’re wondering why TAPE Inc. wanted to remove Ryzza from the noontime show.
“Sasabihin niyo na hindi siya nararapat na maging bahagi ng programa dahil hindi siya kagandahan? Inuulit natin, ang kagandahan po ay hindi dapat ginagamit sa kahit anong larangan, maganda o kulang sa ganda ‘yung talento po muna ang dapat nating tignan, hindi ang itsura,” she stated.
Aside from Ryzza Mae, Paolo Ballesteros, Ryan Agoncillo, and Maine Mendoza were also planned to be removed from the show.
The decision to remove the said hosts became the reason for Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, and other Dabarkads to resign together from TAPE Inc.
On July 1, the resigned Eat Bulaga Dabarkads were set to return to television.
