EAT BULAGA THIRTY AND COUNTING

Eat Bulaga the longest running noontime show here in the Philippines had just celebrated their thirtieth year anniversary.

Eat Bulaga First aired it's first episode on the 30th of July 1979 on RPN 9, ever since it had been entertaining Filipino families for thirty years and on it's new home network GMA 7 is looking forward for another thirty years to furthermore give happiness to all their viewers.

What makes Eat Bulaga so lovable?

Well let me enumerate the reasons why...

One reason is for the long time they had been airing they had mastered the art of entertaining people. Their fresh ideas for their segments, never fail to catch the interest of their audience. Some of the games in their segments was such a big hit that it is used as a fun parlor game in parties that everyone enjoys.
Another thing that makes Eat Bulaga a big hit is their star making charm and their eye for talent. A lot of the brightest stars in here in the Philippines had started their careers either as a contestant to their segments or as a co-host or "dabarkads" as they call them in the show. Michael V., Pauleen Luna, Arnold Clavio, Tony Gonzaga, Jerico Rosales, Gladys Reyes, Danilo Barrios and Aiza Seguerra are just some of the many stars who was seen in the show before they were became famous. And not just stars for the famous all girls dance group the Sexbomb dancers was formed and made famous of the show.

Eat Bulaga is also good with promotions, a lot of products entrusts their endorsements to Eat Bulaga, for sales of products shown in Eat Bulaga would surely increase. Would you belive that "Boy Bawang" a corn snack that was just used as a props for the sari-sari store in their segment bulagaan and been mentioned by Anjo Yllana who was eating them became famous and the show is not even promoting it. Dance albums and songs that the show promotes or been regularly played on the show becomes an instant hit. Including Michael Jackson's song "Thriller", they even received recognition from the album's local distributor for the large increase in sales when they held a Thriller Dance Contest. Also a lot of stars entrust the promotion of their movies, concert and events to Eat Bulaga and not just the local artists but also international stars. Including Abba, 98 degrees, the cors and the most recent are the pussycat dolls, David Cook, David Archuleta and Marie Digby.

Sincerity of the host also plays a big part on what makes Eat Bulaga so lovable to it's viewers. Sincerity of their hearts and the honest intention to give happiness and joy to all their viewers shows through their reactions and the emotions they show. Every time they rejoice whenever a contestant wins a big price or when they cry and sympathize with a contestant who's telling sad story of his life, you would know and feel that every emotion they show is real. For unlike other shows that try to contest Eat Bulaga, their reaction and the emotions the hosts shows comes naturally. For they didn't practice their reactions and it's not scripted.

But what really makes Eat Bulaga number one, are it's hosts and co-hosts. When Eat Bulaga started it only consist of five hosts, time passed hosts comes and goes but still the Bulaga Family keeps growing and growing. Today Eat Bulaga is composed of an impressive cast of fun loving people, just like the famous dessert here in the Philippines the halo-halo, they maybe different kinds of people but when they come together they bring a show that serves happiness to everybody. Now the most successful comedy trio here in the Philippines and "the original Bulaga Boy's"Tito, Vic and Joey with all the "dabarkads" is looking forward for another thirty more years of entertaining the Filipino nation and may what they said come true that as long as there is a child there is EAT BULAGA.
