Show Me The Manny, Willie-lngly.

Look who’s plagiarizing again the concept of now defunct game show Wowowee? If then is TV5 and now GMA channel 7.

Wow, is this how famous is the concept of Wowowee that is why other Philippine TV channels plagiarizing the concept again? So GMA Channel 7 rating statistics that Eat Bulaga leaves behind Wowowee on TV ratings then, not true? For how come they will copy a concept of a former TV show of other TV channel or their rival TV network if the defunct TV show’s concept as well as the TV show is flop on Filipinos’ public taste? Hmm, something not right the TV rating statistics presented by GMA channel 7 then or is GMA channel 7 as it projects itself to the Filipino viewing public as the new No.1 TV station in the Philippines through boastly presenting TV rating statistics and its TV shows to be on top and garnering high ratings is just a mere amiss perception? Something like a blurred vision?

Remember GMA channel 7 just snatch Manny Pacquiao from ABS-CBN channel 2,is not it because Manny’s subsequent winnings then is winning the TV ratings of ABS-CBN channel 2 then; now that they got Manny and his winning TV coverage of his boxing matches which lately somehow just dropping audience share because of his dubious fights GMA Channel 7 now put Manny to be Willie Revillame’s clone to Clone Willie’s success on a new[??] game show with similitude and commonality of the now defunct game show Wowowee of their rival TV network ABS-CBN channel 2.

Gyrating sexy dancers, cheering audience and a shower of confetti and coming suddenly on spotlight; poor people in the audience hugging him and kissing him and asking money and Manny’s show off his singing talent; giving big prizes and cash, is indeed a WILLIE REVILLAME and WOWOWEE thing!!!!

What is more worst is that GMA channel 7 management put the air time of Manny Pacquiao new game show entitled “Manny Many Prizes” on direct competition with Willie Revillame’s “Wil Time Big Time”(formerly Willing Willie[and formerly Wowowee]) which is indeed not a “Kapuso” act just to snatch the TV audience share from TV5.

And one thing more for sure, if Manny’s new game show will be rock with controversies, he will also copy the defense statement of Willie Revillame, that is “Gusto kulang po magpasaya ng tao at tumulong..” (“I just want to make people happy and able to help them..”)
Truly indeed, a sure copy cat show AGAIN on Philippine TVtube. If is it not remake,it is a copy show that rules mostly the TV entertainment in the Philippines.

Why Eat Bulaga Stand Still?

There are a lot of noontime shows on different Philippine TV channels that comes and go, but Eat Bulaga remains standing for already 3 decades now; wonder what its secret?

A noontime show actually can be varied, that is, it could be a game show, a talk show, a kiddie show, a sitcom or a comedy show, a drama series, or even a news or educational show. However, in the Philippines, a noontime show is stereotype as a show that show cases variety of games and fun that covers the noontime slot from 12 noon until 2 p.m.; six times a week. This is has been for past 30 decades now and continually ruling the Philippine Television noontime slot wherein the first noontime show is not Eat Bulaga, but the Student Canteen show which primary aim then of the show is to entertain students eating on the canteen while they are having their lunch break. The Student Canteen is aired then on CBS Network (now ABS –CBN channel 2) which only last a 3 decades due to the CBS Network then was one of the Philippine TV Network that forced to go off air because of Martial Law or was forced by the Marcos Administration to be closed, while the RBS (now GMA channel 7) was left unclosed because it is just a mere Philippine TV network that showcases almost foreign shows on its time slots, just like RPN 9 today.

After the closing of the Student Canteen show, another show was formed and was aired on RBS network; and after this show, Eat Bulaga was born but it was not aired first on GMA channel 7 rather it was first aired on RPN 9, then move to ABS-CBN channel 2 and then finally to GMA channel  7

Eat Bulaga has been on 3 channels for many years and was never owned by any of the 3 channels it was aired (though ABS-CBN tries to buy it from TAPE –Television And Production Exponents, Inc, company but TAPE never sold it, thus they force to move Eat Bulaga to GMA Channel 7), rather it was owned by an independent company – the TAPE. And for this reason Eat Bulaga is just a mere concessionary show on the Philippine TV networks it was aired and not owned by the Philippine TV network itself, thus Eat Bulaga cannot be axed or off air by the Philippine TV network it was aired, despite if its TV ratings declines on the ground; the independent company who owns it will just move it into another Philippine TV channel for another brand new concessionary contract, if its ratings declines from the former TV network it was aired and if the former TV network it was aired and if the former TV network it was aired decided to end the contract of airing Eat Bulaga on their TV network.

So Eat Bulaga’s secret to 3 decades of success is not indeed a real secret anyway, rather it was just a pure business matters.
