It was further claimed by the netizen that the said contestant in the ‘Eat Bulaga’ segment is allegedly an employee of Buboy in their joint business.
“Si lelet ay tauhan ni buboy sa kanyang paresan.”
It turns out that the said netizen is actually a loyal fan of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ, who have been pillars of ‘Eat Bulaga’ for 43 years.
Many netizens also commented and expressed their sadness over the perceived loss of integrity of “Eat Bulaga.”
The show has yet to comment on the issue.
