The country’s longest-running noontime show, “E.A.T… Bulaga!”, marked its 46th anniversary today with a lively and nostalgic celebration on Philippine television.
The program opened with an energetic performance from Dabarkads Ryzza Mae Dizon, Maine Mendoza, Miles Ocampo, Ryan Agoncillo, and Julia Barretto, setting the tone for the festive event.
The comedic trio of Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros delighted the live audience in the barangay segment, while Carren Eistrup performed “Mga Kababayan,” one of the hit songs by the late Dabarkads icon Francis Magalona.
The show’s Singing Queens—Jean, Khayzy, Eunice, Anne, and Sam—entertained viewers with the iconic Sexbomb Girls song “Bakit Papa?” while Allan K. and comedian Ian Red brought laughs with their rendition of The Spageti Song.
The anniversary also saw the return of well-loved Dabarkads Ice Seguerra and actress-singer Atasha Muhlach, along with special appearances by Julia Clarete, former EB Babes member Ann Boleche, beauty queen R’Bonney Gabriel, and Jimmy Santos in the Peraphy segment.
As expected, the highlight was the grand entrance of the “OG” Dabarkads—Senator Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon—who received a warm ovation from the crowd.
Speaking during the celebration, Vic Sotto teased that fans can look forward to more surprises from the noontime institution as it counts down to its historic 50th anniversary in 2029.
“E.A.T… Bulaga!” airs Monday to Friday at 12:00 NN and Saturdays at 11:25 AM on TV5, simulcast on RPTV.
The show is also available for livestreaming via the official social media platforms of TV5 and TVJ Productions, Inc.
