QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – July 1st marked the day when the controversy-laden noon-time television variety shows went on air — simultaneously.

The musical chair of the three most-popular shows sent Filipino fans defending their favorite show and cast while others tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill with all sorts of bashing and criticism.

But in the end, the three shows — GMA 7’s “EAT BULAGA” (new cast), GTV’s “IT’S SHOWTIME” and TV 5’s “E.A.T.” (Tito, Vic & Joey’s resurrection) are in a virtual tie — as in dead heat!

The Adobo Chronicles engaged the services of our in-house AI (Artificial Intelligence) to investigate this phenomenon.

It turns out that the three-way tie was a result of appliance stores in malls all over the country showed the three shows simultaneously on their display TVs.

Peace was given a chance!
