Anjo Yllana revealed that there’s no chance for any Eat Bulaga host to return to the program if they got removed or decided to resign from the show.
In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Anjo shared his experience with the Dabarkads and the work environment in Eat Bulaga during Television and Production Exponents Incorporated’s (TAPE Inc.) management.
“Sa totoo lang sa Bulaga kasi, once wala ka na du’n, tinanggal ka or nag-resign ka, wala pa akong kilalang nakabalik kahit na gusto nilang bumalik,” he said.
“Ganu’n ang patakaran ng Eat Bulaga,” he added.
According to Anjo, the unwritten rule was the reason why he didn’t expect to return anytime soon to Eat Bulaga.
“Dati ko pang alam na nu’ng nag-resign ako, hindi na ako makakabalik sa Eat Bulaga kasi ‘yun ang patakaran do’n,” he stated.
“Although, pwede kang mag-guest at habang buhay ka nang Dabarkads,” he also said.
He stated that many former hosts of Eat Bulaga wanted to return from the show, but all of their attempts failed.
“Marami akong kilala na gustong dati n’ung nandoon pa ako, hindi talaga pwede eh, parang meron silang ganu’n na prinsipyo,” Anjo remarked.
Anjo is one of the longest hosts of Eat Bulaga and stayed as a Dabarkad for almost 22 years.
In 2020, Anjo announced his resignation from the show, and later on, launched their own noontime show on NET25, which only lasted for 11 months.
During the feud between Eat Bulaga hosts and TAPE, Anjo reminded the production company of his unpaid talent fees.
