Eat Bulaga host Vic Sotto reacted to the rumors surrounding the longest-running noontime show.
In the past few months, hearsays about Eat Bulaga’s financial difficulties circulated on social media, which TVJ Productions denied.
Even Joey de Leon and Tito Sotto addressed their viewers last Wednesday, challenging their critics to outlast them.
Entertainment reporter MJ Marfori asked Vic about his insight on the said issue and gave a lighter response about it compared to his long-time colleagues.
“Part of the game,” said Sotto “Kasama sa buhay ‘yon eh, ‘yun ang nagpapasaya ng araw-araw natin eh – Yung mga nanonood, ‘yung mga nagkokontrahan.. kasama sa hanapbuhay ‘yon,”
Vic also clarified that they never considered It’s Showtime as an enemy, but a friendly competitor.
“Iba ‘yung kaaway namin, alam niyo na ‘yon. Iba ‘yung kaaway sa kalaban eh,” he stated.
According to him, making people happy regardless of the show they’re watching was more important.
It can be recalled that several It’s Showtime fans disclosed information that claimed Eat Bulaga’s lowering revenue and ratings.
To debunk the rumors, Tito reportedly released the income report of Eat Bulaga in the past six months, showing that they earned half a billion pesos in the first six months of the show.
They’re also reportedly planning to transfer to a bigger studio to accommodate more audience.
