Entertainment Columnist Jun Lalin gave some names of the celebrities who would possibly replace the legendary trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon in the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga.

However, some fans were not delighted by the news, especially about Paolo hosting Eat Bulaga, especially by the issues he was facing right now.

“Dapat wag nyo nang gamitin yung name na eat bulaga palitan nyo nalang ng ibang name. Makiki ride on lang kayo dun sa legacy ng eat bulaga na pinag trabahuan ng TVJ ng ilang dekada. Ang Eat Bulaga is hindi matatawag na Eat Bulaga kung walang TVJ.” netizen Yahnnie said.

“TAPE can open a new noontime show as long as they won’t use the EB brand. EB is TVJ!” netizen Nimsah said.

“Nagsama pa kayo ng babaero jan n nega n nga ang dating di lalung wala nanood sa inyo. Wag na sayang lang kuryente namin,” netizen Hanna remarked.

Cristy Fermin to the possible new hosts of Eat Bulaga: ‘Maglagay kayo ng nameplate’

Cristy Fermin gave a piece of advice to the possible new hosts of Eat Bulaga after its original hosts left the show.

In her online show ‘Showbiz Now Na!’ Cristy talked about the rumors that Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. would tap talents from Sparkle Artist Agency to replace the original hosts of the longest-running noontime show.

However, Fermin said that the new hosts should wear ‘nameplate’ because it’s possible that no fan of Eat Bulaga would recognize them.

She also downplayed the move of the Jalosjos family, saying that putting unrecognizable artist to replace the original Dabarkads would not solve their problem.

“Ang mga isasalang daw po, ayon sa mga kwento, ay mga artista ng sparkle ng GMA. ‘Yun daw kabataang artista ng Sparkle.” Cristy said.

“Ano ang sinasabi ng mga kababayan? ‘Yun ba ang sinasabi na higit pa sa isang libo’t isang tuwa ang ibibigay nila? E ni hindi nga namin alam kung sino ang isasalang nila.

“Kaya nga ang sabi nila, pupwede kaya kung sasalang ang mga artista ng sparkle, maglagay sila ng nameplate. Kasi nga po, hindi pa po pamilyar ang ating mga kababayan sa mga artista, sa ibang artista ng Sparkle. Natural lang po na hanapan pa nila ng indibidwalidad ang mga artistang ito.” she added.

“Nakakaawa na rin po si Tito. Parang nahihirapan na rin siya. Pabalik-balik po siya sa ospital saka matagal na siyang hindi nakakapagsalita. Kapag kinakausap siya, patangu-tango na lang si Tito.” she added.

GMA SVP Annette Gozon-Valdes, ready to help the Jalosjos family to find new hosts for Eat Bulaga

GMA Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes vowed to support Television and Production Exponents Inc. after the resignation of all Eat Bulaga hosts on May 31, 2023.

It can be recalled that Eat Bulaga hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo, and Allan K already parted ways with the production company owned by Romeo Jalosjos.

Gozon-Valdes said that they’re offering the talents of GMA to replace the original hosts of the longest-running noontime show to keep it on air.

“Kung wala namang conflict and pumapayag yung talents why not ‘di ba? It’s really a separate business kung mabibigyan naman ng trabaho yung talents namin why not and we’ve been doing this even before magka falling out years and years back,” the executive said.

“Tulad ni Alden (Richards) galing siya sa Sparkle. Tulad ni Bianca (Manalo) and Ruru(Madrid) talagang we provide talents,” she added.

Abogado, sinabing maaring magpalit ng apelido ang mga anak ni Paolo Contis: “The child has a choice”

A lawyer said that even without Paolo Contis’ permission, his daughter Xalene and Xonia have the right to remove ‘Contis’ in their name.

It can be recalled that former EB Babe member Lian Paz revealed that her daughters to Paolo were already asking her if it’s allowed for them to remove the surname of their father because of its absence in their life.

“Asking na nga po ang mga bata to have it changed,” Lian said.

While it sounds complicated, especially Paolo would obviously oppose the plan of his daughters, Atty. Anselmo S. Rodiel IV believed that even without the actor’s permission, Xalene and Xonia could decide on their own whether they wanted to use Contis’ surname or not.

Atty. Rodiel cited Article 364 of the Civil Code saying that using the surname of their father is only principal and not exclusive.

“The child has a CHOICE to NOT use the surname of Mr. Contis‼️ Article 364 of the Civil Code says “legitimate children shall PRINCIPALLY use the surname of the father.” PRINCIPALLY does not mean EXCLUSIVELY, so may choice ang bata!” Atty. Rodiel wrote.

However, some netizens who saw the lawyer’s post said that Xalene and Xonia still need a court decision to remove the surname of their father.

“Please expound further that there are limitations and only a FEW GROUNDS when a child/person can change his/her surname. In other words, hindi basta basta at dahil “gusto lang”. The change of surname needs judicial authority, thus, to be filed in court.” netizen FJ said.

Paolo has yet to respond to the possible move of his former partner.
