Vice Ganda on ‘Eat Bulaga’: Hindi namin matatalo yan
October 24, 2015 | 8:10pm
MANILA, Philippines – Vice Ganda addressed the ongoing competition between ABS-CBN’s noontime show “It’s Showtime” and GMA-7’s noontime show “Eat Bulaga.”
During the Saturday, October 24 episode of “It’s Showtime,” the comedian said their program was never expected to beat the rival noontime show in the ratings game and urged fans to stop the bashing and bickering about the two programs on social media.
According to Vice, the hosts of “It’s Showtime” felt hesitant when their timeslot was moved from late morning to noontime, pitting them against “Eat Bulaga.”
“Nung ginawa nga tayong noontime, sabi kong ganun sa mga boss natin, ‘Okay ba sa inyo na gagawin kayong noontime?’ ‘Hindi po, ok na kami sa morning show.’ Lahat kami, lahat tayo nagkaisa na ayaw namin maging noontime, gusto namin morning show lang,” he shared.
Vice added: “Sabi ng boss naming, ‘Bakit?’ ‘Eh kasi lalagay niyo kami sa noontime, ‘di naman namin kayang talunin ang Eat Bulaga. Di ba? Kahit pagsamasamahin namin ang powers namin dito, di ho namin kayang talunin ang Eat Bulaga.’ Ang sabi ng boss namin, sino ba ang nagsabi sa inyo na tatalunin niyo ang Eat Bulaga? Di naman namin kayo lalagay sa noontime para talunin ang Eat Bulaga. Sasamahan niyo lang sila sa pagpapasaya.”
The 39-year-old actor said “It’s Showtime” had no intention to compete with “Eat Bulaga.”
“Sa simula pa lang po, talo po kami. Itinataas po namin ang bandera dahil sila ay aming mga idolo at modelo. Hindi namin matatalo yan,” Vice said.
He also commented on the social media bashing the show was receiving. The October 24 episode of “It’s Showtime,” the show’s sixth anniversary celebration, competed with “Eat Bulaga’s” Sa Tamang Panahon special event, held at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
“Sabi nga nila, sa mga nagtu-tweet, sa mga nagco-comment sa Instagram, mga Facebook natin, ‘bat ayaw niyo pa kasi sumuko, talo na kayo?’ Paano na gagawin naming? Dahil di na kami masyado nagre-rate, di na kami papasok,” Vice quipped.
He added: “Paano naman yung mga taong pumunta sa studio? Paano na yung iilan naming fans na nagaabang po sa amin? Ang tanong ko nga sa sarili ko, hanggang kelan nga? Hangga’t may isang tao umaasa di po kami matatapos.”
Nonetheless, Vice said he’s grateful for “It’s Showtime” and for what it has done for him and his co-hosts.
“Ano man ang mangyari ay di ako nagkakaroon ng sama ng loob, galit, lungkot, ngitngit, puro tuwa lang at pagpapasalamat kasi ang laking blessing talaga nitong 'Showtime' ‘di lang sa akin, kung ‘di sa inyong lahat na nakatutok pa din sa‘tin hanggang ngayon,” he said.
