Talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz denied that he was included on the list of content creators who spread that Eat Bulaga was closing.
In his Facebook post, Ogie said that netizens should stop making conclusions without watching his vlog.
“Para po ito sa mga tumalon agad sa konklusyon na kinumpirma na namin na mamamaalam ang Eat Bulaga, dahil nalulugi na ito,” said Ogie. “Panoorin nyo po NANG BUO. Wag agad magre-react. Check nyo kung kinumpirma namin,”
“Eto po ang resibo, konting oras, data o wifi lang ang kailangan para malaman nyo kung ano talaga ang ibinalita namin,” he added.
It can be recalled that several Eat Bulaga fans announced that they would boycott Ogie’s vlogs.
Meanwhile, Joey already answered the rumors surrounding Eat Bulaga, calling them false.
“Naiingit lang ang mga ‘yan dahil hindi sila kasama sa Top 5 Longest Running TV Show in the World,” said Joey. “At ito muna ang hamon ko – Umabot lang kayo ng 15 years baka luluhod pa ako sa harap niyo. 15 lang ha, eh by that time baka bumiyahe na ako eh,”
Later on, the veteran host clarified that he was not challenging It’s Showtime to outlast Eat Bulaga.
It was also reported that Eat Bulaga earned half a billion pesos during its first six months, proof that the longest-running noontime show would not close anytime soon.
