Filipino actor, host, and comedian Luis Manzano brought a touch of humor to the ongoing discussion surrounding the ownership of ‘Eat Bulaga’ between TVJ and TAPE Inc. His lighthearted joke and trivia caught netizens’ attention, providing a moment of amusement amidst the controversy.
On June 8, Manzano shared on Instagram a funny trivia about the inception of ‘Eat Bulaga,’ stating that four individuals were involved in creating the brand of the popular noontime show. The post garnered mixed reactions from netizens, generating further engagement on the topic.
Starting his post with “Trivia – 4 sila nagsimula ng Eat Bulaga, tapos di niyo nalang nakikita isa kaya TVJ nalang natira”, Manzano entertained his followers with a playful remark.
Continuing, he added, “Cena [sina], Tito, Vic, at Joey… Nasa kanta na nga di niyo pa alam… hellleerrrrr.”
A netizen commented on the post, stating, “Ang alam ko nga talaga 4 sila. Mas pinili lang mag wrestling nung isa kaysa mag-host” (I know there were four but one just chose wrestling over hosting).
Not missing the chance to add humor, Manzano’s fellow actors and showbiz friends, including Vina Morales, joined the conversation.
Vina commented with laughter, jokingly pointing out that someone was missing, referring to Anne Curtis: “Hahahahahahahah lima AT hahaha nakalimutan mo s’ya eh hahahahaha.”
