Even without a noontime show yet, a simple lunch of two former Eat Bulaga hosts already surpassed the views of the rebranded noontime show.
On June 27, Allan K and Carren Eistrup live-streamed their lunch while talking to their fans.
He shared that the Dabarkads, including Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, were recording the songs they would use for their upcoming noontime show on TV5.
“Excited na excited na kami, ang aga naming gumising sa call time na 9AM para sa recording,” Allan said.
Aside from Allan and Carren, Wally Bayola also appeared live to greet their fans.
The said video already reached 646,000 views as of writing.
Meanwhile, at the same time, the revamped noontime show of TAPE Inc. only got 47,000 views on Paolo Contis’ Facebook page with 1.8-M followers, while it reached 79,000 views on Isko Moreno’s page with 5.6-M followers.
Observers believed that the former Eat Bulaga Dabarkads would dominate the social media game even without using the original Facebook page of the noontime show.
Paolo already vowed that they would never give up in trying to reach their fans online, even if the pages they were creating were being removed because of mass reports.
