Because of interrupting an Eat Bulaga fan for mentioning TVJ, Buboy Villar gets called out by netizens
BUBOY VILLAR – The Eat Bulaga host faced criticism following a recent incident during the “G sa Gedli” segment of the noontime show.
In the episode, Villar appeared to cut off a fan who mentioned the names of the show’s original mainstays Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, known as TVJ. During the July 29 episode, Villar and co-host Isko Moreno visited an LRT station and gave cash to random commuters. Villar then handed his microphone to an elderly woman who received the cash prize.
“Nanay, ano pong masasabi niyo sa ‘Eat Bulaga’?” he asked. The woman replied, “Ay naku, noon pa talagang ‘Eat Bulaga’ ako! Salamat po Tito, Vic and—,” but Villar quickly pulled the microphone back, interrupting her.
This incident caught the attention of netizens on social media, who criticized Buboy Villar for being “rude” in the comments section of his Instagram page.
To recall, it was just recently when “Eat Bulaga” celebrated its 44th anniversary by launching a new theme song. This celebration occurred amidst the ongoing legal battle between TVJ and GMA Network, as well as TAPE Inc., the production company behind the revamped “Eat Bulaga.”
Meanwhile, Buboy Villar’s career began with his television appearance in ABS-CBN’s Little Big Star. He is also known as a member of the youngest boy band in the Philippines, Mak and the Dudes.
His breakthrough performance came in 2008, starring in the TV series Dyesebel. He has been part of several high-profile films, including Supahpapalicious, Shake, Rattle & Roll X, Ang Panday, as well as notable Philippine dramas like Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, Darna, and Panday Kids.
