Billy Crawford: Competing noontime shows 'want the best for everyone'

MANILA, Phiippines – Billy Crawford does not want to dwell on the competition between the noontime shows GMA-7's “Eat Bulaga!” and ABS-CBN's “It’s Showtime.”
 
The competition between the two shows has been the talk of the town after “It’s Showtime” followed the story of Pastillas Girl a few weeks after the “Kalyeserye” love team of Alden Richards and Yaya Dub made noise on social media.
 
 
“We’re just here. We’re enjoying what we’re doing. Ang goal lang talaga namin is mapasaya ang tao,” he said in an interview on Wednesday. “Basta we’re here to work and we want the best for everyone.”
 
Billy also added that he respects "Eat Bulaga" main hosts Vic Sotto, Tito Sotto and Joey de Leon, who he described as “one of the pillars in the industry.”
 
In earlier interviews, Anne Curtis and Vice Ganda gave their personal take on the competition between the noontime shows.
 
Anne said she's aware there is an ongoing "war" between the fans of "It's Showtime" and "Eat Bulaga." But the actress-host added believes that the competition between the two shows just proves that “people are still into noontime shows."
 
 
Meanwhile, Vice said he doesn’t mind the bashers of their show saying “for as long as everybody’s talking about you, you remain to be relevant. And in showbusiness, it’s all about being relevant.”
 
 
Billy talked to members of the press to promote ABS-CBN's upcoming game show "Celebrity Playtime," which will premiere this Saturday, September 26.
