I grew up watching Eat Bulaga and even witnessed several transfers of this variety show to different studios and TV channels then finally settling on a firm location for more than a decade now.
TVJ’s (Tito Vic and Joey) awesome threesome chemistry has been always admired by their fans. Several TV personalities tried to match the trio yet the Iskul Bukol actors always paved their way to leading all variety shows by hosting Eat Bulaga. This acts as a solid proof of their strong brotherhood as they call it “Dabarkads.”
The three-decade TV show has skyrocketed to new heights bringing “isang libo’t isang tuwa” not onlyfrom Aparri to Jolo but also to our neighbor country, Indonesia.
Porting the famous Eat Bulaga to an Indonesian local channel brings good news. This shows that not only does Eat Bulaga showcase quality TV program but it also makes Filipinos proud of being known internationally.
Seeing a South-Asian counterpart of my favorite lunch-time program left me confused at first. I can’t believe my eyes watching Eat Bulaga hosted by a different bunch of people conversing in a different language but with the same format and same energy as seen on our very own Pinoy TV.
Though I did not understand the language, it brings happiness to my heart that something Filipino has not only touched every Juan but even our foreign counterparts, enough to have them copy our beloved noon time show. Eat Bulaga really made it big time!
Though EB-Indonesia is still fairly new, we hope that the EB dabarkads will not stop in opening more doors to spread cheer and bring hope to the rest of the world.
