Kapuso actor and host Paolo Contis couldn’t help but become emotional on the 44th anniversary of their program, Eat Bulaga, which aired on Saturday, July 29.
At the start of the show on this day, Paolo shared how significant this new milestone is for the longest-running noontime show in the country.
He said, “Mahalaga po ang araw na ‘to sa Eat Bulaga. Forty-four years ago, sinimulan po ng Eat Bulaga ang pagbibigay ng saya. Lumipas man po ang panahon, sa kahit na anong pagkakataon, maiba man po ang mga artistang humaharap sa inyo araw-araw, ang hindi po magbabago ay ang hangarin ng ‘Eat Bulaga’ na magbigay ng saya at magbahagi ng pag-asa.”
Sparkle star Yorme Isko Moreno, who is also a host of the show, expressed his gratitude to the viewers who continuously support their program.
“Mga Kapuso, noong nagsisimula kami bilang bagong host, ang ipinangako namin sa inyo ay kayo ang laging dahilan kung bakit kami naririto. Dahil sa inyo mga manonood. Sabi nga namin, it’s not always about the host, it’s always about the viewers. Kayo sa studio, kayong mga manonood sa kani-kanyang tahanan, na lagi niyo kaming isinasama sa inyong tanghalian, napakaraming salamat po sa inyong lahat,” he said.
Paolo Contis and Isko Moreno recently joined the ‘Eat Bulaga’ family as new hosts, with Paolo starting his hosting duties on June 5 and Isko Moreno joining on June 10.
On their special day, the new theme song of Eat Bulaga was also premiered.
