Madlang Dabarkads: Where will you switch your channel at 12?







It’s 12 o’clock in the afternoon, everybody’s lunch break yet for those at home, it was also called T.V. Break. Well, also the time when we were switching channels between the two biggest networks in the Philippines, the ABS-CBN and GMA.


ABS- CBN’s Showtime; their afternoon variety show in the form of competition brings the best and the worst of Pinoys with ambition to entertain or simply to be seen on TV. It's all about Pinoys' dream and their love for fun and entertainment. The hosts of the said show Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Billy Crawford, Karylle, ‘Kuya’ Kim Atienza, Teddy Corpuz, Jugs Jugueta and Vice Ganda, whose camaraderie, spontaneity, talents, and shared sense of humor have brought joy to kapamilyas.  Joining them in "It's Showtime" are dance master Jhong Hilario, and favorite "ex hurados" Ryan Bang, and Coleen Garcia made the “madlang people” relate to the show more because of it’s teenage appeal. Using also the term “madlang people” for their audiences gives a plus factor to the youth to enjoy the show more.


Yet, Showtime is not also just the leading noon time show here. Before them, there is GMA Kapuso Network’s Eat Bulaga’s existence. Eat Bulaga, is the longest running noontime show in the Philippines. It started airing its very first episode on July 30, 1979 on RPN 9. Now on its 32nd year, the show is still an icon in launching trend-setter games as well as talent and personality-based searches. The hosts, ofcourse with the historical trio, Tito, Vic and Joey plus the fun-loving hosts of all ages Julia Clarete, Pia Guanio, Keempee De Leon, Toni Rose Gayda, Pauleen Luna, Ruby Rodriguez, Michael V., Jimmy Santos, Allan K, Anjo Yllana and the Sugod Bahay hosts, Paolo Ballesteros, Wally Bayola and their very own Jose Manalo caught every filipino’s smile as they also have the widest signal and connections.


Well, who among the two is the best?


It’s hard to choose but better yet just compare the two’s differences. Showtime I think focused more on the joy between friends, youths also based on their program list shown every weekdays. Likewise, but the focus of Eat Bulaga was I think focused on family. Well, as you see Eat Bulaga hosts were usually those who had a lot of experience in the industry and more like to be mature.


         Anyway, it’s our Madlang people and Dabarkads judgement; and remote controls are also made to switch channels.
