Eat Bulaga host Joey De Leon talked about the viral cheating which occurred on their noontime show.
In a statement during Eat Bulaga‘s February 17 episode, the noontime show host lamented the cheating in their segment, Pinoy Henyo.
According to him, cheating takes away the fun of any game.
“Simulan na natin ang pautakan pero [uunahin] ko na itong warning na ito. Sa isang laro, ano ang ginagawa mo para mawala ‘yung saya o ‘yung fun? ‘Pag ikaw ay nandaya.
“Pag nagchecheating ka sa isang game wala na yung fun…. Akalin nyo itong Pinoy Henyo ay pasukan ng mandaraya rin. Kaya inuulit natin, kahit anong game pa yan, pag nandaya kayo wala nang fun.”

De Leon and Ocampo’s statements came on the heels of the controversial jackpot win of a couple-contestant in Eat Bulaga‘s Pinoy Henyo segment.
During the segment’s jackpot round, the couple got caught cheating when the girl mouthed the word “stomach,” leading to her partner getting the correct answer.
Several netizens also blasted the contestants for the blatant cheating captured on national TV.
“WTF. Halatang halata naman sa bibig. Grabe…,” @ricci_richy tweeted.
