Anyare? Netizens notice GMA’s extravagant treatment to It’s Showtime compared to Eat Bulaga

While It’s Showtime’s first episode on GMA was described as ‘extravagant’ and star-studded, some netizens noticed the simple celebration made by the other Kapuso program Eat Bulaga.

In a Facebook post, several netizens commented how GMA prepared so much for the first episode of ‘It’s Showtime’ compared to Eat Bulaga, which already being with them for 28 years.

According to them, the opening number made by Vice Ganda during the first episode of ‘It’s Showtime’ on GMA was already lavish.

GMA also guested some of their talents, including Barbie Forteza, on the Kapamilya show.

Netizens also noticed that the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga didn’t receive the preparation made by GMA to ‘It’s Showtime’, including holding a press conference for the longest-running noontime show.

Some observers that GMA Network showed their full support to the Kapamilya program while they were just waiting for Eat Bulaga to give up and cancel their contract.

“Parang mas masaya pa ang GMA sa pagpasok ng It’s Showtime da GTV kesa sa pag support sa bagong Eat Bulaga. Charot!” a netizen said.

“Nagsisi na gma na hinayaan nila kala nila hahayaan nang mga tv network ang tvj kasi daw matanda na yon lng pala hinintay ni mvp kasi alam ni mvp kapasedad nang tvj kaya ngayon dlng noontime show apiktado gma pati mga program nila bumaba sa sponsors nga lang unang araw pala 18 big sponsors agad agad kayo jan tape bulaga mron paba kayo naiwan jan,” netizen Virgo commented.

However, despite the preparation made by GMA Network, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon have proven that they’re still kings of the noontime.

While E.A.T’s first episode was simpler than It’s Showtime, the noontime show made by TVJ Production still led the rating competition on July 1.

Radio DJ and actress Karen Bordabor expressed her support to Awra Briguela after the latter was put behind the bars after being involved in a heated confrontation last Thursday night.

In a series of tweets, Karen who’s also put under the custody of the authorities in 2016 said that she knew how difficult the situation of Awra was, saying that she also experienced the same thing.

As of writing, Awra has yet to give any statement about the said incident that was captured by CCTV.

E.A.T ng ‘Legit Dabarkads’ tinambakan ang It’s Showtime at Eat Bulaga sa noontime show ratings

As expected, the new noontime show of former Eat Bulaga hosts on TV5 led the rating contest on July 1, 2023.

According to the data released by Nielsen, NUTAM Overnights Data, TVJ’s E.A.T gained an 8.4% average program rating and also reached 11.86% during its peak minute.

It also reached an 8.2-M audience during its almost 3 hours of airing yesterday.

Meanwhile, E.A.T’s closest competitor, ‘It’s Showtime,’ which recently transferred to GMA Network’s GTV Channel, reached a combined of 3.94% rating.

The former show of the ‘Legit Dabarkads’ Eat Bulaga was the least-watched among the three, getting only a 2.62% rating.

Aside from getting a high rating, E.A.T also broke the record of achieving the highest number of concurrent viewers on social media for a noontime show that was recently held by ‘It;s Showtime’.

Observers already predicted that ‘E.A.T’ would lead the rating contest because of the issues that happened around them in the past several months.

However, they’re more excited about whether E.A.T would maintain the lead over their competitors, especially since TV5 has a fewer television reach than GMA Network, where two of its competitors were airing.

Netizens were also surprised that Eat Bulaga still got a decent rating, despite having two competitors at the same time.

Netizens criticize ‘VIP treatment’ of Awra Briguela for being released despite weekends

Awra Briguela went viral on social media after being involved in a heated confrontation between her and a group of men in Poblacion Makati Thursday night.

The Kapamilya actor was put under the custody of the Makati City Police and was expected to spend the rest of her weekend behind bars while waiting for the opening of the court to post bail.

However, even if the court may closed on Saturday, netizens were surprised after Awra was released on bail.

The actor was accompanied by her family and lawyer while leaving the station.

Awra refused to talk to the media about the charges he was facing.

Meanwhile, netizens criticized the ‘VIP treatment’ given to Awra.

“Woww magic labas kaagad ganun bah kapg sikat palabasin kaagad Saan yong justice dyan ahahahah Atleast Natikman niyang mag himas ng rihas . Nxt time kong iinom magtira sa sarili huwag puro kalandian.” netizen Mahal said.

“Justice system talaga dito satin “BULOK” pag kilala ka kahit Sabado at walang opisina makakapag bail ka pag ordinaryong tao ka lang antay ka ng lunes.So disappointing,” netizen Tess commented.

However, contrary to popular belief, some courts were open on Saturdays.

The same thing happened to Sen. Jinggoy Estrada in 2017 when he posted bail and got released on Saturday.

Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Amparo Cabotaje-Tang explained why some people can still post bail even on Saturdays.

She denied that individuals who were successfully released on bail on Saturdays were given special treatment.

“The court maintains a regular skeletal force on Saturdays without fail,” the Justice said.

“There is a justice on duty for the day precisely to act on situations like the posting of bail.” she added.

Kampo ng mga Jalosjos, itinanggi na nilalayasan na sila ng mga advertisers: “It’s non-refundable”

The camp of the Jalosjos family, who currently owns TAPE Inc., denied that advertisers were now demanding to refund of the money they paid in advance to promote their products on Eat Bulaga.

It can be recalled that several outlets reported that major sponsors, including ‘Puregold’ already wanted to recover the money they paid to TAPE Inc. after Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon left the show.

However, in a statement, TAPE’s lawyer, Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque denied the said reports, saying that Puregold respected the contract between them and TAPE.

She also said that the contract was still valid even if the former hosts already left the show, as long as Eat Bulaga was still on air.

Aside from that, the fee which the advertisers paid was already not refundable.

“The contract is between Puregold and TAPE Inc. for Eat Bulaga! show. It is coterminous with the show and not with the hosts. Thus, there is no ground for a refund even if the main hosts left. As long as there is a show ‘Eat Bulaga’ within the wide reach network, GMA Network, the contract between TAPE Inc. and Puregold shall subsist.” the lawyer said.

“These are two big companies which both respect the terms of the contract. It is stated in their contract that the same cannot be cancelled, and the fee is non-refundable,” she added.

To prove that Puregold and TAPE Inc. still had a good relationship, Atty. Abraham-Garduque revealed that the two companies were now planning to put a segment to promote the grocery chain on Eat Bulaga.

It was known that the owner of Puregold, Susan Co, was a close friend of TVJ, and she’s one of the first major sponsors who checked on the three.

“Para sa karamihan, isa itong malaking kumpetisyon. Pero para sa programa gaya ng Eat Bulaga! na 44 years na po na nagpapasaya, hindi po ito kumpetisyon, pero ito po ay aming inspirasyon,” he added.

Isko then greeted the legendary trio during the show.

“Tito Sen, Vic, and Joey, and their Dabarkads, congratulations sa inyo. Masaya kami may bago na kayong tahanan. Masaya kami kasi marami nang pagpipilian ang tao. At least, ang noontime show ngayon, para nang buffet, marami ka nang choices.” the former Manila City Mayor stated.

“Taus-puso, sampu ng aming mga kasama, staff, production, the mangement TAPE Inc., we warmly welcome and congratulate Tito, Vic, and Joey. Congratulations po sa inyo!” he also said.

It can be recalled that TVJ, together with their hosts and staff, left Eat Bulaga on May 31, 2023, after having problems with TAPE Inc.

The two also greeted It’s Showtime, calling them as ‘neighbors’.

Valentine Rosales, binawi ang paghingi niya ng tawad kay Awra Briguela: “Sabi ko na nga ba tama ako!”

Internet celebrity Valentine Rosales took back his public apology for Awra Briguela after the CCTV footage taken at the bar where the latter was partying was released to the public.

It can be remembered that the footage shed light on the incident involving the Kapamilya actor, who had a heated confrontation with a group of men in Poblacion, Makati.

Several hours after the incident, Valentine made a comment against Awra, but it was swarmed by criticisms from the netizens who defended the actor.

Valentine made an apology to Awra and even praised the latter for being a ‘true friend’.

“First of all, I want to apologize to Awra. I’m really sorry, masyado akong nagsalita nang hindi ko pa alam ‘yung buong story. Dinelete ko ‘yung comment ko and hindi na ako sasawsaw, magbabagong buhay na ako.” Valentine said.

“I hope you find the best lawyers to help you na makaalis sa kulungan. Nalaman ko ‘yung reason behind that.” he added.

However, after the release of the CCTV footage, Valentine took back his words, saying that his previous comments were right all along.

“Sabi ko na nga ba tama ako eh! Dapat pala di na ko nag sorry minsan na nga lang tumama binawi pa, mali mali talaga desisyon [ko] sa buhay,” Valentine tweeted.

“Ilabas ang eksenang may hinipoan at pinag tatanggol! Imbento kayo! Alam ko na yan style na yan ganyan din ginawa ko sa 7/11 wala kayo maloloko parepareho tayong bakla may nag mamalinis lang at tulad ko na tanggap ang ugali kong masama at prolematic atleast totoo di plastic!” he added.

Paolo Contis, walang pakialam sa unang araw ng TVJ sa TV5: “Wala namang point na maglaban-laban”

Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis said that he’s not paying attention to their new rivals ‘E.A.T’ and ‘It’s Showtime’.

In an interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal, Paolo said that there’s no point for them to compete with the said two shows, especially E.A.T, which is hosted by former Eat Bulaga hosts.

According to him, having more choices for the televiewers was better.

“Wala namang point na maglaban-laban, di ba? Kasi ang tao, manonood naman yan kung ano ang gusto nilang panoorin. At least ngayon, tatlo na yung choices nila. Ngayon, trabaho namin na mapilit at ma-convince yung tao na kami yung panoorin. At magagawa lang namin yun na ginagawa namin nang tama yung trabaho namin. It will be very very challenging.” said Paolo.

He admitted that trying to match the 44 years legacy of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon was a big challenge for them.

So instead of thinking about how to surpass them, Paolo said that he’s looking forward to the first monthsary of their show.

“Mahirap tapatan yung 44 years na nakasanayan. Kami bukas, para sa amin celebration. First month namin bukas. Monthsary namin bukas. “ he said.

Paolo considered lasting for one month was already an achievement for them because of the gravity of criticisms they were receiving from the netizens.

“Hindi namin iniisip na first day na ng Showtime sa GTV, ng TVJ sa… ang iniisip namin, nakaisang buwan kami, di ba? Proud kami dun,” he stated.

Eat Bulaga failed to win the social media competition on July 1, only getting a few thousand concurrent viewers compared to their competitor E.A.T which broke a record of having more than 500,000 live viewers, and It’s Showtime which achieved 250,000 viewers.
