Contis shared, “Para sa ‘kin masakit yun, yung “fake.” Kasi anong fake doon sa ginagawa namin? Naiintindihan ko na may issue sa title. Yes, naintindihan ko but it’s not for us to decide pero kung ano yung ginagawa namin, walang peke about it. Walang peke sa pagmamahal namin dun sa show.
Some solid fans of the Dabarkads call the new ‘Eat Bulaga’ headlined by Paolo Contis as ‘Fake Bulaga.’

“Naintindihan ko kasi fans sila ng original pero regardless of original, it doesn’t make us fake, it makes us new. It makes us rookies but it doesn’t make us fake. Kasi yung effort na binibigay namin, walang peke dun.”
The Sparkle actor and comedian also left a message for their bashers. Paolo explained that each host of Eat Bulaga is ‘sincere’ in their intention to bring joy and help people.
“If they think helping people, giving hope every day, na nagbibigay kami ng papremyo, you call it fake then so be it. But I don’t think there is anything fake about what we do. Araw-araw tumutulong kami, araw-araw sinusubukan naming magpasaya, araw-araw may nananalo, araw-araw may pinupuntahan si Yorme [Isko Moreno], walang peke dun.
“Sana mapagbigyan nila kami because ang panlaban lang naman namin dun is yung sincerity of helping eh,” he added.
As the controversy surrounding ‘Eat Bulaga!’ and its new hosts continues to unfold, it is evident that emotions are running high among netizens.
