WHAT IS EAT BULAGA ?
Eat Bulaga, is the longest running noontime show in the Philippines.
It started airing its very first episode on July 30, 1979 on RPN 9.
Now on its 32nd year, the show is still an icon in launching trend-setter
games as well as talent and personality-based searches.
Eat Bulaga! is a noon-time variety show in the Philippines produced by
Television And Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE)and aired by GMA Network. The show is broadcast from The New TAPE Studios (Eastside Studio) at the GMA Broadway Centrum in New Manila, Quezon City. Eat Bulaga! is aired Weekdays at 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm (PHT) and Saturdays at 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm (PST). The show is also broadcast worldwide through GMA Pinoy TV. This year, the show celebrates its
32nd year on Philippine Television. Eat Bulaga also holds the record
of being the longest-running program on air in the history of local television.
HOW THE TITLE OF THE SHOW WAS CONCEIVED?
Eat Bulaga premiered on July 30, 1979 on RPN at Broadcast City, Diliman,
Quezon City. Because the show was to occur during noontime, Eat was used to represent lunchtime. Bulaga (which means "surprise" in English) was to represent their plan to fill the show with lots of big surprises. This is
how the title "Eat Bulaga" came into existence. Plus, the title Bulaga could
also refer to its another meaning Peek-a-boo!, a game played with children. Eat is the transliteration of It!, a word popularly known from the game tag. Because both titles represent such activities of children, the slogan
"Hangga't May Bata, May Eat Bulaga!" ("While There Are Still Children,
There will be Eat Bulaga!")
was born.

The EB Babe
With the loss of the SexBombs, the producers of Eat Bulaga decided to form a
brand new in-house dance group, the EB Babes (the EB standing for "Eat Bulaga!").
The group was formed using a reality competition with open auditions.. The new
group officially debuted later during August 2006.
The Return of the SexBomb Girls
On December 16, 2006 the SexBomb Girls appeared on Eat Bulaga for the first time
in nine months during the "Give Love on Christmas Day" segment with a song and
dance number. Former SexBomb Girl Sugar Mercado rejoined the girls in the said
number and some Eat Bulaga hosts were happy to see them again. On March 12,
the SexBomb Girls returned as "guest dancers" once again - but only appearing
during Fridays.

Sex Bomb vs. EB Babes
The two groups finally met each other in a "showdown" on February 3, 2007, as
requested by the public, especially the fans of both groups. The episode gained
a 31.2% share of the ratings for that day. Rumors later surfaced about a possible
rematch between the two groups, but in a TV interview with the SexBombs, it
was revealed that there would be no rematch with the EB Babes for a while, but,
a couple of weeks later, they met each other for another showdown, but, it was
less popular than the previous one. Right now, the SexBombs are currently seen
on Fridays on a temporary basis, while the EB Babes are also seen on the rest
of the week. Occasionally, the two groups can be seen together during opening
numbers on Saturday episodes.
