MANILA,
FEBRUARY 11, 2011 (STAR)
Eat, Bulaga! continues to lord over every Pinoy viewer's heart on its 32nd
year in July.
It has proven itself to be nothing short of a daily habit as it delivers
pure fun and entertainment day in and day out with more new talents to
discover, more innovative games and trendsetting dance moves, like the
monstrous hit Shembot, to offer.
Over and above all these, the brains behind Eat, Bulaga!, Tape, Inc., had
taken their goal a notch higher by reaching out to the masses through
noteworthy projects concerning education for instance.
On its 30th year, the show launched what it called the EB Scholars, which
was followed by selfless involvement in the construction of dilapidated
classrooms in a town somewhere in Quezon.
Last Oct. 9, Eat, Bulaga! introduced the Plastic ni Juan campaign, which
was able to collect over a million plastic bottles from different barangays.
These plastic bottles were recycled into school chairs which were donated
to the Aplaya National High School in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, the Tanza National
Comprehensive High School in Tanza, Cavite, the Libsong Elementary School
in Lingayen, Pangasinan, the San Juan Bano Elementary School in Arayat,
Pampanga and the Nazarene Ville Elementary School in Antipolo, Rizal.
Then there's the popular Juan for All, All for Juan segment which is able
to generate more chairs for more schools all over the country.
To date, 261 barangays have, so far, benefited from this Eat, Bulaga!
drive which, incidentally, paved the way for the PNB or Pambato ng Barangay
segment where raw talents like EJ Salamante, the so-called Sleeping Diva,
was discovered.
Also worth mentioning are Sen. Tito Sotto's initiative to provide jobs
for unemployed viewers featured in the Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola and Paolo
Ballesteros segment; Vic Sotto's generosity to send less fortunate but
deserving students to school; and Allan K's tireless effort to help launch
the careers of Eat, Bulaga!'s new discoveries.
Other than the show's socially relevant missions, the now-famous Pinoy
Henyo game portion has also become a trademark. Never has there been a
successful segment on Philippine television landscape such as this that
wherever one goes — be it in Christmas parties, reunions or fiestas —
chances are, he/she will find himself/herself being a willing participant in
the tricky game of will and wit.
This year, Eat, Bulaga! still stands to be the only program with a
positive spirit and heart.
Rain or shine, whatever comes, the show and its hosts will remain true to
their mission and vision: That is, to give back all the love and support
loyal Pinoy viewers have showered them each and every lunchtime of their
lives, Mondays through Saturdays on GMA 7.
As the Puso ng Eat, Bulaga! continues to beat and serve televiewers, so
will the program be forever etched in the hearts and minds of Pinoy
followers.
