Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Tugue Zombie were the subjects of a recent controversy on the TV show “E.A.T.” Host Jose Manalo made a joke about Tugue Zombie during the “Sugod Bahay Kapatid” segment, which some people interpreted as racist. Manalo joked that if Tugue Zombie were a prize in Bingo, it would be called a “blackout.” Although Manalo, Bayola, and Tugue Zombie found it amusing, Paolo Ballesteros and Miles Ocampo did not appear to share the same sentiment.
The controversy gained attention when a clip of the segment was shared by a fan account on X. The Twitter user criticized the fact that there seemed to be no consequences for the racism displayed on the show, implying that if it was a show hosted by Tito Sotto’s daughter, Lala Sotto, the situation would have been handled differently. Other netizens expressed their disappointment in Manalo’s lack of character development.
As of now, neither Jose Manalo, the management of “E.A.T.,” nor the MTRCB have commented on the matter. This incident follows previous calls from netizens for the MTRCB to address the cheek and neck kisses between Tito Sotto and his wife, Helen Gamboa, on the show, similar to how they responded to complaints of “indecent acts” by “It’s Showtime” hosts Vice Ganda and Ion Perez.
In the interest of fairness, it is important for all parties involved to address and respond to these concerns in a timely manner.
