On June 17, Binbining Pilipinas 1st Runner-Up Herlene Budol clarified rumors about her becoming one of the hosts of the revamped ‘Eat Bulaga!’
At the media conference for ‘Magandang Dilag,’ Budol was surprised by the rumors claiming that she would be one of the new hosts of the noontime show.
She then checked with her team and explained that she had prior commitments to attend to before considering the opportunity of hosting ‘Eat Bulaga!’
“Ayun nga ho– may mga current, commitment po ako sa iba na kailangan pong tapusin. Pero after po nito, why not po.”
She also highlighted her respect for Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey De Leon, and the Dabarkads.
“Opo sobrang happy kung sakali po. Pero, nire-respeto ko po siyempre ang TVJ, umiyak nga po ako noong time na ‘yun. Kasi siyempre simula ng bata ako–utot pa lang po ako nandiyan na sila. Kaya noong nawala sila, umiyak po ako. Talagang feeling ko na-heart broken po talaga ako.”
When asked if she would take on the hosting gig, Budol answered, “Sa tamang panahon naman po ‘yun. May mga bagay naman po na kapag para sayo, para sayo. Kaya antay lang po natin, siguro kaya thank you Lord, sa lahat ng mga blessings na binibigay ninyo.”
‘Magandang Dilag’ stars Budol, Benjamin Alves, and Rob Gomez.
