Eat Bulaga! is a Philippine television variety show broadcast by GMA Network with the rapist senator Tito Sotto. Produced by Television And Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE), it is the longest running noontime show in the Philippines. It premiered on July 30, 1979, and being filmed from The New TAPE Studios (Eastside Studio) at the Broadway Centrum in New Manila, Quezon City. The show is also airing worldwide through GMA Pinoy TV and live streaming online on YouTube.[1] The name approximately translates to "Lunchtime Surprise!".[2]

The show holds the record of being the longest-running noontime variety program in the history of Philippine television.[3][4] It will celebrate its 40th anniversary on July 30, 2019.

Its first overseas franchise was Eat Bulaga! Indonesia (became The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia from 2014 to 2016), which last aired on Indonesia's antv, and premiered on Indonesia's SCTV on July 16, 2012.[5][6] Eat Bulaga! became the first Philippine television show to be franchised by another country.[7]

History

RPN era (The Leader era; 1979–1989)

The hosts form the letters T and Y to thank the viewers for making them number one in the ratings.

Production Specialists, Inc., a company owned by Romy Jalosjos, brought the idea of creating a noontime show for Radio Philippines Network (RPN). Antonio Tuviera, who was working for the company, thought that the comic troika of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, better known as TVJ (who had gained fame through GMA Network's Discorama and as pinch-hitters for Student Canteen, but subsequently left both), would be the perfect hosts for the new program.[8] At a meeting at the InterContinental Manila parking lot (now closed), Tuviera made the offer to them; they accepted.[8][9]

De Leon coined the title of the show: Eat represents lunchtime while Bulaga (which means "to surprise") represents their plan to fill the show with big surprises.[9] The title is also a play on two children's games: Eat is the transliteration of It from the game tag while Bulaga! refers to Peekaboo!. Because of this, the slogan "Hangga't May Bata, May Eat Bulaga!" ("As Long As There Are Children, There will be Eat Bulaga!") was coined, also by de Leon.[9]

Eat...Bulaga! premiered on July 30, 1979.[3][10] TVJ, along with Chiqui Hollman[8] and Richie Reyes (a.k.a. Richie d' Horsie) as the original hosts.[3] During its first few months on the air, the show was in danger of cancellation. Not only did it face competition against the longest-running noontime show at that time, Student Canteen, it also lacked advertisers, despite having their advertising rates reduced to Php 750.[8] In addition, TVJ did not receive their salaries for six months.[8] To keep the show afloat, they decided to entertain movie trailers which paid less than standard commercials.

Eat...Bulaga! slowly gained top-rating status in 1980 after the introduction of the segment "Mr. Macho."[8][10] Production Specialists soon handed production to Tuviera's TAPE, Inc.[11] In May 18, 1982, the domestic satellite was launched, allowing Eat...Bulaga! and other RPN programs to be aired nationwide. During the same time, Coney Reyes joined the show while Hollman moved to Student Canteen.[11] In 1987, Aiza Seguerra joined the show after finishing as a runner-up in the "Little Miss Philippines" segment.[8][12]

Its easily recognizable theme song that begins with the famous phrase "Mula Aparri hanggang Jolo" was introduced on May 18, 1982, during EB's domestic satellite launch and Coney Reyes' first EB entry. The lyrics of the song were written by Vincent Dy Buncio and Pancho Oppus, while the melody was composed by Vic Sotto and musical arrangement by Homer Flores. This famous theme song was revised many times and was used to different opening billboards of EB.[4]

An interview with Joey de Leon revealed that he, Tito and Vic never signed any contract with Eat...Bulaga! when they were offered to become hosts of the show. Vic Sotto confessed that he accepted the offer and would immediately stop once he had enough money to buy a personal vehicle. Joey de Leon also admitted that the show was only supposed to be a short-term employment. However, Eat...Bulaga! defeated Student Canteen in the ratings after 2 years and TVJ decided to stay with the show. Up to this day, no contracts bind Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon to the show or to TAPE, Inc. Friendship and their loyalty to the show are the only factors that keep them together.[13][14]

ABS-CBN era (The Star Network and Sarimanok Network; 1989–1995)

In the year 1989, Eat...Bulaga! moved to ABS-CBN[11] (under a co-production agreement) with other TAPE-produced shows Agila, Coney Reyes on Camera and Okay Ka, Fairy Ko! (from IBC) due to problems brought about by the sequestration of RPN.[3] On February 18, 1989, the show premiered on its new home of the said network, which was staged at the Araneta Coliseum. Prior to the transfer, in early 1989, ABS-CBN made a TV plug featuring four dots, which represented the four TAPE-produced shows.

The show's 10th anniversary presentation was held on September 23, 1989.[15]

Reyes left the noontime show in 1992.[11] She was replaced by swimming champion Christine Jacob (later she moved to Magandang Tanghali Bayan in late 1998).[11] By 1992, Tito Sotto started appearing only on weekends after topping the senatorial elections that May.

By the later part of 1994, ABS-CBN wanted to buy the airing rights of Eat...Bulaga! from TAPE Inc. However, Tuviera and Malou Choa-Fagar rejected the deal, leading ABS-CBN to decide not to renew its contract with TAPE, Inc. and remove Eat...Bulaga! and its sister shows Valiente and Okay Ka, Fairy Ko from its roster (with the exception of Coney Reyes on Camera) and to reformat its Sunday show Sa Linggo nAPO Sila into a week-long show, 'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila.[3]

GMA Network era (The Rainbow Network and The Kapuso Network; 1995–present)

In the year 1995, Eat...Bulaga! moved to GMA, whose efforts to dethrone it with Lunch Date (replacement of Student Canteen shortly after the 1986 People Power Revolution) and SST: Salo-Salo Together have failed.[3] The show made its premiere telecast on its new home on January 28, 1995, again at the Araneta Coliseum, with a TV special Eat... Bulaga!: The Moving.[3][16] Before this, month-long promotions (from December 1994 to January 1995) were made by coming up with the catchy advertisements, 9–2=7, Totoo ang Sie7e ("Nine minus two equals seven, Seven is really true"), alluding to the show's move from Channel 9 (RPN) to Channel 2 (ABS-CBN) to Channel 7 (GMA). It was also a homecoming for TVJ on GMA, who previously hosted Discorama and pinch-hit for Student Canteen [9] before leaving the network for Eat...Bulaga!.

On its entry to GMA, new hosts arrived, they were Toni Rose Gayda from Bulaga's former rival GMA noontime show Lunch Date (former co-host of previous Bulaga host Chiqui Hollman), Allan K, Samantha Lopez, Francis Magalona, and Anjo Yllana.

In 1999, Eat...Bulaga! became the first to give away millions on Philippine television. When Magandang Tanghali Bayan, then the noontime show of ABS-CBN, introduced "Pera o Bayong" to its audience, it became an instant hit, causing MTB to top the ratings of Eat...Bulaga for two years. This forced the Eat...Bulaga! management to give the first millions, through its segments "Meron o Wala" in mid-1999 and then "Laban o Bawi" in late 2000 to get the audience interest back.[17]

In January 1, 2000, Eat Bulaga! airs its special millennium episode at the SM City North EDSA on a Saturday primetime slot at 7:00 pm to make way for 2000 Today on an actual noon time slot.

Eat Bulaga! celebrated its 25th year on television on November 19, 2004 at the amphitheater, Expo Pilipino in Clark Air Base, Angeles, Pampanga,[18] making it the longest-running noontime show in the Philippines. The television special was attended by an estimated at more than 60,000 spectators[18] and enjoyed the highest daytime TV rating in the Philippines. It won the Best Entertainment (One-Off/Annual) Special at the Asian Television Award in Singapore on December 1, 2005.[19][20] The event was hailed as the most successful on Philippine television, narrowly matched only by the 1st Starstruck Final Judgement. The presentation, titled Eat Bulaga Silver Special, was broadcast on November 27, 2004 (Saturday) and on November 29, 2004 (Monday).[18] By this time, Eat Bulaga! had modified its title, dropping the three dots.

In 2005, Eat Bulaga! was aired for the first time worldwide through GMA Network's international channel, GMA Pinoy TV.[21]

In 2006, the SexBomb Girls left the show due to a dispute with its producers.[22] The show, in turn, opened auditions for new in-house dancers, under the name 'EB Babes', as a reality competition. The group officially debuted on August of that year.[22] In March 2007, the SexBomb Girls returned as regular cast members.[22][23][24]

In September 2007, a series of word wars occurred between Joey de Leon and Willie Revillame, the host of Eat Bulaga!'s rival show Wowowee as a result of the Hello Pappy scandal.[25][26]

In November 2007, EB launched its first ever regional version on GMA Cebu with the title Eat Na Ta!. Eat Na Ta sa Radyo (aired during weekdays) was launched on November 12 and Eat Na Ta sa TV (aired during Saturdays) premiered on November 24 of the same year. It served as a pre-programming for Eat Bulaga! in Visayas until 2008.

On March 6, 2009, Francis Magalona, one of the show's long-time co-hosts, succumbed to leukemia. The following day, the show produced a tribute episode in which the whole cast performed his songs dedicated to his memory. During the tribute, it was revealed that Magalona coined the word 'Dabarkads', a popular name to the Eat Bulaga family.[27] Magalona is also known for shouting "Seamless Na!" to initiate from Eat Bulaga's Saturday edition to Philippine showbiz oriented talk show Startalk. After his death, the Eat Bulaga! and Startalk hosts continued with the seamless tradition until it was stopped in the later part of the year In September 2010.

In 2009, Eat Bulaga! celebrated its 30th anniversary, dubbed as Tatlong Dekads ng Dabarkads (Three Decades of the Dabarkads). The show focused on honoring and helping remarkable people, including 30 poor, hard-working students and other everyday heroes as a gesture of paying back to the public who supported them.[28][29]

In February 2011, the SexBomb Girls along with the group's choreographer Joy Cancio left once more, this time for ABS-CBN's Happy Yipee Yehey!.[30]

On October 6, 2011, Eat Bulaga! launched its coffee table book called Ang Unang Tatlong Dekada (The First Three Decades).[10] It was written by veteran columnist and TV host Butch Francisco and designed by Joey de Leon's son Jako de Leon.[31] Alongside the book, Eat Bulaga! gave away 3000 limited edition CDs of the 2004 Silver Special Anniversary celebration.[14][32][33] Additionally, GMA News and Public Affairs produced a documentary titled Kuwentong Dabarkads hosted by Dingdong Dantes.[8]

On August 18, 2012, Eat Bulaga! aired a special episode celebrating its 33rd anniversary without commercial breaks, the first time in its history.[34] A soundtrack, Dabarkads D' Album: A Party for everyJUAN, featuring songs popularized by the Eat Bulaga! cast, as well as the theme tunes used by the show, was released in July 2013.[35]

On July 16, 2012, Indonesia's SCTV Network aired the show's first international franchise, Eat Bulaga! Indonesia (later The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia). The network, which had considered securing the rights for a local version for the past five years, started formal negotiations with TAPE Inc. in April 2012, with approval given in June that same year.[5][36] SCTV Network's Eat Bulaga! Indonesia ended on April 3, 2014 due to poor ratings caused by the sudden departure of their main head host in 2014. However, the show eventually returned to the airwaves on November 17, 2014 on its new home network, antv, with the new title, The New Eat Bulaga! Indonesia until its final episode in 2016.[37]

Due to public demand, Eat Bulaga! revived its traditional Lenten season drama specials during the 2014 Holy Week after an eight-year lull. Unlike its previous productions, the heartwarming stories produced annually are either original stories or inspired by true-to-life stories of former contestants of the popular segment, "Juan for All, All for Juan." Either one or two episodes are shown each day from Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday.[38] In addition to the return of the drama specials in 2014, Eat Bulaga! began to hold an annual awards ceremony called "Dabarkads Awards" to recognize excellence in stories and performances for the year's Lenten presentation.

Voyager Innovations, Inc. (owned by PLDT), a Philippines-based technology company, released the official mobile app of the show on January 23, 2015. Eat Bulaga! is the first noontime show to launch their own mobile application that would allow their fans to stay connected with the hosts. The app also contains exclusive videos from the show's thirty-five years on television as well as a mobile version of one of its most memorable game segments, Pinoy Henyo.

The popularity of Eat Bulaga! was greatly increased In July 2015 following the accidental formation of a new love team between co-hosts Alden Richards and Maine "Yaya Dub" Mendoza, and the eventual development of Kalyeserye, a parody soap opera built around the couple. The new loveteam, popularly known as AlDub, tripled the show's normal AGB Nielsen Mega Manila and nationwide television ratings, and #AlDub became the top daily trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines and even worldwide.[39][40] The milestone moments of the phenomenal loveteam helped the show garner some of its all-time high ratings. In August 8, 2015 episode, which was supposed to feature the first meeting of Richards and Mendoza in real life but didn't occur because Mendoza unexpectedly fainted during the episode and had to be taken to the hospital, registered a Mega Manila rating that is above 30%, a television rating that has not been achieved by Eat Bulaga! since its 2004 Silver Anniversary Special.[41]

On August 2015 episode, which showcased a Cinderella-like story and the near-meeting of Richards and Mendoza, posted a rating of 36.1%, which was an extraordinary accomplishment for a weekday episode.[42] Its September 5 episode, the day when Richards and Mendoza finally saw each other for the first time, registered a rating of 39.5%. Its September 19 and September 26 episodes, the first and second dates of AlDub, garnered ratings of 41.3% and 45.7%, respectively, which are the highest-rated episodes of 2015.[43] These episodes were also the first times that Eat Bulaga! tapped the 40 percent mark. Due to the AlDub phenomenon, Eat Bulaga! holds 10 out of 10 highest-rated episodes in 2015.[44]

Kalyeserye went on hiatus on September 3, 2016 and returned on October 15 after a month-break. Once again, the segment ended on December 17, 2016, having a total of 400 episodes. Their "Kalyeserye" like-storyline has continued on their first primetime series Destined to be Yours which aired from February 27 to May 26, 2017.

On September 30, 2017 (coinciding the grand coronation day special of Miss Millennial Philippines 2017), Eat Bulaga! introduced their new opening billboard (OBB) wherein it showcases the sightings and attractions of the Philippines since "Mula Batanes hanggang Jolo" is the first part of the show's theme song. Ryan Agoncillo, together with Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza starred in the OBB wherein they also bond in with different people.[45] It was until January 1, 2018 when it started to air the new OBB during the start of the show everyday on a temporary basis, but once again stopped the following month except for the July 30, 2018 episode in time for the 39th Anniversary with a new eyecatch bumper.

Beginning on July 7, 2018, Eat Bulaga launched EB Version 4.0, Wherein the show began its kick-off celebration for their 40th anniversary on July 30, 2019.

Eat Bulaga announced their Horror-comedy telemovie "Pamana" which will be shown on July 28. This serves as a commemoration to the variety show's 40th anniversary since July 30, 1979.

Sa Tamang Panahon benefit concert

On October 24, 2015, Eat Bulaga! held a benefit concert at the Philippine Arena to thank the fans of AlDub and to raise funds for building libraries in certain schools across the Philippines and for the victims of Typhoon Lando. The most awaited event for the loveteam also marked a major turning point of the Kalyeserye story; the couple were able to see and interact with each other without any hindrance from Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola's character in Kalyeserye ) The special show dubbed as "Sa Tamang Panahon" (At the Right Time) attracted an estimated 55,000 people, becoming the largest indoor audience ever of Eat Bulaga!. Ticket sales for premium seats were sold-out three hours after Lola Nidora announced the concert on October 17, 2015. The rest of the tickets were sold-out after three days. After 24 hours, #ALDubEBTamangPanahon, the official hashtag for the event, reached 41 million tweets,[46] becoming the third most tweeted topic for the TV category worldwide in 2015[47] and the most used hashtag within 24 hours on Twitter.[48] According to AGB Nielsen, the live airing of the event was able to garner a 50.8% Mega Manila household rating, becoming the most watched show in 2015.

All who wish to be eligible to win must bring specific items that the hosts mention.

For Team Barangay, they are must then race to the numbers laid out on the streets in under a minute. The studio hosts pick a random number. The person standing on that number and the four next numbers receive cash prizes and gift packs from the show and its sponsors. The line with the most behaved people, dubbed as the "Bayanihan Line", receives P1,000 each (for a total of P20,000). In the event of bad weather, the studio hosts select seven entries. The seven winners must each bring plastic bottles and their registration forms to receive P10,000.

This applies to the chosen barangay of the day. For it to qualify, it must be well-organized, clean and well-behaved. Everyday a barangay is added to the list of "qualified" barangays, eventually summing up to more or less 20 barangays for the month. Otherwise, just one violation of the said requirements means the disqualification of that barangay. After each month, the hosts choose three barangays who will win a special prize based on their rank, with the best barangay winning the grand prize and the title of Barangay Bayanihan.

For Team Bahay, the person must capture and upload the photo with their specific items and its hometown at the designated comment box on Eat Bulaga's official Facebook page in just 5 minutes. The winners will announce at the end of the episode and receive its prize on Broadway Centrum a day later.

Main article: List of Eat Bulaga! segments

Eat Bulaga! has developed hundreds of segments throughout its 38-year run. Its segments include beauty pageants, talent contests, quiz shows, interactive games, comedy sketches, and other unique concepts. In fact, certain segments have been labeled as "Tatak Eat Bulaga!" because their concepts have been naturally associated with the show itself and their success have brought remarkable popularity to the show and its participants. Notable signature Eat Bulaga! segments are Little Miss Philippines and That's My Boy, which are child beauty pageants that have become an important stepping stool for little children who would like to enter the Philippine entertainment industry. They launched the careers of Aiza Seguerra, Camille Prats, Lady Lee, Pauleen Luna, BJ Forbes, Ryzza Mae Dizon, and many others. Mr. Pogi is a beauty contest for young adult men, which became an important launchpad for the showbiz careers of Jericho Rosales and Edgar Allan Guzman. Other beauty pageants are Super Sireyna, which is regarded as the first gay beauty pageant on Philippine television after its launch in 1995, and Fat-Talbugan, a breakthrough pageant that gave heavy people a chance to show that big can also be beautiful.

In 2000, Laban o Bawi became one of the first segments to give out one million pesos as the jackpot prize in order to get the audience interest back. Prior to its launch, Eat Bulaga! faced tough competition after rival noontime show Magandang Tanghali Bayan introduced Pera o Bayong. After a 6-year successful run, the segment was replaced with Taktak Mo o Tatakbo. Laban o Bawi witnessed a short revival from 2014 to 2015 with a revamped elimination round. Another signature segment of the television show is Pinoy Henyo. In 2006, Pinoy Henyo was launched, but the game wouldn't gain its tremendous popularity until its revival in 2009.

A new trend on Eat Bulaga! is the development of subsegments for Juan for All, All for Juan: Bayanihan of d' Pipol in order to bring the show closer to the Filipino people. The segments are collaboratively presented by the studio hosts and the barangay hosts. The subsegments range from talent contests to ad-lib soap operas and may usually involve participation of barangay residents. Notable subsegments include Suffer Sireyna, That's My Tambay, Problem Solving, and Kalyeserye.
