Lolit Solis defends Paolo Contis from critics after hosting new Eat Bulaga: “Trabaho lang, walang personalan”

Veteran columnist and manager Lolit Solis defended Paolo Contis from the criticisms he received from the netizens after becoming one of the hosts of the new version of Eat Bulaga.

In her social media post, Solis said that people should not criticize Contis just because he was chosen to host Eat Bulaga, saying that even the actor was surprised by the decision of his management and by Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.

Solis even said that Contis was also a fan of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.

“Trabaho lang, walang personalan. Dahil kahit kelan hindi papasok sa isip ni Paolo na magiging katapat siya sa programa ng Tito, Vic at Joey. Under siya ng management ng GMA Artists Center at kung anong trabaho ang ibigay sa kanya, tinatanggap niya.” Solis said.

“A good soldier following his superior. Talagang hindi mo maiiwasan mga ganitong pangyayari. Kahit nga si Paolo hindi akalaing mangyayari ito pero iyon ang gusto ng management niya, at palagay ko naman hindi magiging dahilan para magkaruon ng bad blood sa mga involved.

“Sana nga both parties maging matagumpay,dahil liit lang mundo ng showbiz. Hindi na dapat meron pang maliliit na kaguluhan. Dapat lahat maayos. More work, the better. More shows mas magaling.” she also said.

Solis also posted a photo of her when Contis visited her at the hospital

It can be recalled that many netizens questioned the decision of TAPE to get Contis as one of their hosts despite the controversy being faced by the actor.
