"Eat Bulaga!" local viewers are in for
another fantastic surprise this Saturday, August 2, when its
much-talked about and heralded "Grand Fiesta Show" recently
staged at Los Angeles Sports Arena in California airs on GMA
7.
Close to 7,000 people, mostly Filipinos
based in California and nearby states trooped to the venue to
witness the once-in-a-lifetime extravaganza topbilled by the
famous comic trio of Tito, Vic and Joey.
With the TVJ were the "Eat Bulaga"
dabarkads led by Francis Magalona, Anjo Yllana, Jimmy
Santos, Ruby Rodriguez, Pauleen Luna, Julia Clarete, Pia
Guanio, Lougee Basabas, Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Allan K.
The rousing opening number of the show was
memorable to the crowd with Francis doing his hit song "Man
From Manila" followed by Ruby, Pauleen and Pia gyrating
onstage with their dance number and segued to Anjo and Jimmy's
rap portion.
Lougee displayed her vocal prowess while
Julia's magic tricks amazed the audience. Wally and Jose
brought the house down with their hilarious acts as Arwanee
and Wangbu. Ditto with Allan K.
Tito, Vic and Joey capped the number with
their VST & Co. hit song "Swing It, Baby" that got the people
to sing and dance!
The non-stop entertainment, music and
laughter continued with the holding of the show's famous
segments, "Itaktak Mo O Itatakbo" that gave away thousands of
US dollars to the contestants and the "Kontra Pelo: Sa Pula Sa
Puti" which was participated in by US-based Pinoy artists led
by Patricia Javier, Jessica Rodriguez, Dessa, Jo Awayan, Ella
V. of Viva Hot Babes and former Ms. Body Language, Frida
Fonda.
The crowd went crazy when engaged couple
Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo appeared on stage complete
with hugs and kisses.
The non-stop excitement continued when
screen lovers Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera of "Dyesebel"
performed their respective acts and danced the Joey de Leon's
signature dance and song, "Kagat Labi"!
Capping the show was the announcement of
Senator Leland Lee, Assistant President Pro Tempore of
California, declaring the date, July 19 as "Eat Bulaga" Day in
the state. Tito, Vic and Joey gladly accepted the certificate.
All these and more, plus the dabarkads' escapade in
California and Las Vegas, will be presented this Saturday on
"Eat Bulaga" as the show's gift to their followers on its 29th
year as the longest-running noontime show on television!
