Here’s what an ‘Eat Bulaga’ episode without a studio audience looks like
The noontime show 'Eat Bulaga' has temporarily stopped allowing a live studio audience due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.
This decision aims to protect the health and safety of the show's talents, staff, crew, and audience members.
Eat Bulaga's management stated this move is to cooperate with government efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.
The show's studio is located in Cainta, Rizal, which recently recorded a COVID-19 case, and the Philippines has a total of 33 confirmed cases as of Tuesday, March 10.
Despite the absence of a live audience, 'Eat Bulaga' assured viewers they will continue to deliver entertainment.
Hosts reminded viewers to keep safe, wash their hands, and boost their immune systems, and were seen walking around the empty audience area.
While there was no studio audience, hosts were still allowed to visit a barangay for the Sugod Bahay segment.
Eat Bulaga was the first show to announce the suspension of its studio audience, followed by ABS-CBN's 'ASAP' and 'It's Showtime'.
