Many speculators believe that the post may be directed towards former Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno. Moreno, a prominent politician turned television host, is known for his segment ‘G sa Gedli,’ which he hosts alongside Buboy Villar on ‘Eat Bulaga!’—a competing noontime show to ‘E.A.T.’ Isko Moreno recently joined ‘Eat Bulaga!’ as one of its co-hosts.
In ‘G sa Gedli,’ Isko Moreno conducts a public service segment where he distributes monetary assistance to individuals in the communities they visit.
In contrast, ‘E.A.T.’ introduced its unique version of ‘Juan for All, All for Juan’ called ‘Sugod Bahay Mga Kapatid!’ Since its debut, this segment has been creating a buzz, primarily because of the character Mayor Jose Manalo, portrayed by comedian Jose Manalo. Mayor Jose Manalo is humorously depicted as the “Mayor who never loses because he was born a Manalo.”
The ‘Sugod Bahay Mga Kapatid!’ segment, featuring Mayor Jose Manalo, is considered one of the factors contributing to ‘E.A.T.’s’ impressive ratings due to its immense popularity among viewers.
Some enthusiasts of intrigue and speculation suggest that ‘E.A.T.’ may have intentionally set up a friendly rivalry between Mayor Jose Manalo and Isko Moreno, given the strong presence and popularity of both segments, ‘Sugod Bahay Mga Kapatid!’ on ‘E.A.T.’ and ‘G sa Gedli’ on ‘Eat Bulaga!’
