Loyal Dabarkads across the country and around the world collectively greeted EAT Bulaga’s beloved Bossing Vic Sotto a happy 70th birthday. The longest-running Philippine noontime show put together a memorable episode last Saturday, April 20, to mark a special milestone not just for Bossing Vic but also for the whole EAT Bulaga family and their legions of supporters.
Bossing Vic has endeared himself to millions of viewers across several generations. From being one of the formidable TVJ trio that gave birth to EAT Bulaga over 44 years ago to his top-rating sitcoms and blockbuster movies that solidified his status as a pillar of Philippine show business, he has truly charmed his way into the hearts of Pinoy audiences with his wit, humor and genuine warmth.
As one of the founders of the show, his contributions to EAT Bulaga and the entertainment industry have made Bossing Vic irreplaceable in the hearts of many.
As Bossing Vic marks his birthday, EB fans and the Solid Dabarkads are grateful for his leadership, guidance and passion for bringing not just laughter but good fortune to so many people in the various barangays EAT Bulaga visits every day.
Indeed, EAT Bulaga carries the distinction of being the only noontime show that goes out to where the fans are. Rain or shine - and even in extreme heat, the EAT Bulaga hosts genuinely connect with their beloved Dabarkads every day by trooping to their barangays and into their homes, bringing hope and joy to these communities.
For decades, the Dabarkads – a term of endearment used among the EAT Bulaga hosts and their supporters – have stood by each other through thick and thin, creating unforgettable moments that touched the hearts and lives of millions of viewers nationwide. Their unwavering dedication to the show and to each other epitomizes the strong bond forged through years of true friendship and loyalty.
Following Bossing Vic’s birthday celebration, TVJ Production also announced that preparations are underway for the upcoming grand 45th anniversary special of EAT Bulaga. Through the decades, the show has evolved into more than just a television program, it has become a symbol of unity, positivity and love for the Filipinos - a true testament to the show’s legacy and unparalleled success.
