Eat Bulaga's Dabarkads, na praning

Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros

Nakakapanibagong manood ng Eat Bulaga na walang live audience. Iba pa rin ang feel ng programang kinagigiliwan ng mga Dabarkads for 40 years pag may audience.

Naglabas ng official statement ang Eat Bulaga and we are running it here:

In view of the COVID-19 outbreak in the Philippines, which has placed the country in a state of public health emergency, the management of Eat Bulaga has decided to temporarily suspend the admission of a live studio audience in the airing of its show, to help prevent the spread of the virus and to ensure the health and safety of its talent, staff, crew and members of the audience.

Please understand that this decision was made after extensive and careful consideration in order to cooperate with government efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Araw-araw pa rin po kaming maghahatid ng isang libo’t isang tuwa sa inyong mga tahanan.

Ingat po tayong lahat, Dabarkads!

Commendable ang ginawang ito ng Eat Bulaga para masiguro ang kaligtasan hindi lang staff at mga artista kundi pati na rin ang audience na matiyagang pumipila at nanonood sa kanila ng live.

Mas importante ang kalusugan at kaligtasan nating lahat kaya minabuti ng management na huwag muna tumanggap ng live audience. Wala man ang live audience, kaparehong sigla at saya pa rin ang handog ng Eat Bulaga sa mga loyal viewers nila.
abarkads s DABARKADS,

We are sure na kapag wala na ang panganib na dulot ng Covid-19 ay agad bubuksan ng Eat Bulaga ang kanilang pintuan para sa live audience na siyang nagbibigay ng saya at energy sa programa.

Tuloy pa rin naman ang pamimigay ng Eat Bulaga ng bonggang pampremyo araw-araw.

Vin Abrenica feels good whenever he hears comments that he is a better actor than his brother Aljur. But he also feels a certain kind of sadness because he idolizes his Kuya Aljur so much.

‘Hindi ko naman itinatago na idol ko talaga ang kuya ko. He is my inspiration kaya pumasok din ako sa showbiz. Kung anuman ang narating niya ngayon sa kanyang career, he worked hard for it kaya proud ako sa kanya,” wika ng newly-minted Hanford image model.

Bata pa raw si Vin ay idol na niya si Aljur. Kaya hindi rin dapat pagtakhan kung ninais niyang sundan ang mga yapak nito sa showbiz.

“Siyemre it’s very flattering to hear pag sinasabi ng mga tao na I am good actor or I am the better actor. Pero masakit din pakinggan iyon. Kasi hati ang pakiramdam ko when I hear words like that. Happy ako pag napupuri ako but at the same time, nasasaktan naman ako for my Kuya kasi siya naman ang napipintasan,” wika ni Vin.

“I work hard to be good in my craft at ganoon din naman si Kuya. Siyempre nakaka-inspire makarinig na pinupuri ka if you did something good pero masakit din makarinig if someone close to you is being bashed.”

Dream ni Vin na magkasama sila ng Kuya Aljur niya in a TV show.
