Maja Salvador is the newest Dabarkads in Eat Bulaga!–as she fulfilled her mother’s long-time dream of being part of the country’s longest-running noontime show.
In Salvador’s newest vlog on YouTube, she celebrated her first day of being a Dabarkads. Coincidentally, her mother Thelma Linklater is also celebrated her birthday.
“Mas grabe lang yung kaba ko kasi birthday nga nung nanay ko, October 2 yung birthday niya. So, parang yung dati sabay kaming nanonood ng Eat Bulaga, ngayon mapapanood na niya ako sa Eat Bulaga! kahit nasa Canada na siya.”
Salvador remembered her mother, whom she used to watch the noontime show together. Now, Salvador is already part of it.
“Noong unang nalaman niya, naiyak pa nga siya, ‘Ay, pangarap ko ‘yan.’ Dream ng grupo nila. kung di ako nagkakamali, ay yun nga, sana makasayaw sa Eat Bulaga, pero hindi nangyari. So, ayun, ngayon anak niya ang sumasayaw dito sa Eat Bulaga.”
She stated that tears of joy flowed through her mother’s eyes when her mother received the news of her being part of Eat Bulaga!
According to Salvador, her mother was a dancer, and she hoped to dance in the studio of the said noontime show someday.
“Ang Eat Bulaga! kasi sila naman talaga yung kilala sa sayawan, ang daming pinapauso. Parang kung sino yung mga dancers noong time na ‘yon, nauuso talaga; yung mga signature moves na pinapauso, trending, di ba? Parang iba’t ibang galawan. Doon ako nag-start talaga na mahilig sa sayaw.
“Ang pagsasayaw, para sa akin, may naibibigay na ibang joy sa akin. So, for sure, yung mga sasali rin dito, may ibang joy din ‘yan na maibibigay sa inyo,” she shared.
