A wave of nostalgia and excitement swept through ‘Eat Bulaga!’ fans as the iconic noontime show began dropping a series of mysterious teasers all hinting at the return of one of its most beloved segments—’Kalyeserye’.
The buzz began on Monday, July 7, when TVJ’s official social media accounts released a simple clip featuring a ladder with the caption, “Practice lang muna.” This was followed on July 9 with a second teaser asking, “Naniniwala ka ba sa forever?”
Then, on Thursday, July 10, a third video was uploaded featuring the unmistakable voice of Lola Nidora, played by Wally Bayola, declaring: “Secrets will be revealed sa tamang panahon.” The teaser ended with one word: “Abangan.”
Though no official confirmation has been made, fans quickly speculated that this could mark the return of ‘Kalyeserye’, the live mini-series that dominated television and social media from 2015 to 2016. The segment gave rise to the phenomenal AlDub love team—Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza as Yaya Dub—whose chemistry unfolded through split-screen interactions before culminating in an emotional face-to-face meeting during the show’s landmark ‘Tamang Panahon’ event.
The timing of the teasers has also fueled rumors of a 10th anniversary celebration for ‘Kalyeserye’, which first aired on July 16, 2015. ‘Eat Bulaga!’ is also nearing its 46th anniversary this month, adding to the speculation that a major throwback event may be in the works.
Fans flooded the comments sections with excitement and theories, with many expressing hope that the original cast—Alden, Maine, Wally, Jose Manalo (Lola Tinidora), and Paolo Ballesteros (Lola Tidora)—would reunite for a special episode or segment revival.
More than just a love story, ‘Kalyeserye’ was known for its values-based themes, often emphasizing respect for elders, the virtue of patience, and the beauty of waiting for the “right time”—ang tamang panahon.
Whether this is a one-time tribute or a full-fledged comeback, one thing’s certain: ‘Eat Bulaga!’ is ready to pull at the nation’s heartstrings once again.
