Former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno recently expressed his frustration regarding an incident on the popular noontime show Eat Bulaga! involving host Paolo Contis. The issue arose after Contis made a series of remarks that some viewers, including Moreno, found offensive and inappropriate.

The incident occurred during a live taping of Eat Bulaga!, where Contis was involved in a playful exchange with fellow hosts. However, his behavior, which involved teasing and what many perceived as “pangbaboy” (mockery) towards some individuals, did not sit well with Moreno, who was watching from the sidelines.

Moreno, who has always been vocal about his views, made his displeasure known through social media and during interviews. In his posts, he emphasized the importance of maintaining respect and professionalism, especially in a show with a wide audience like Eat Bulaga!. He acknowledged that the show is known for its humor and banter but felt that there should be limits when it comes to making jokes at the expense of others.

While the exchange on Eat Bulaga! was meant to be humorous and light-hearted, many fans felt that Contis’ remarks crossed the line. The situation quickly garnered attention on social media, with both supporters and critics voicing their opinions. Some fans backed Contis, saying that it was all in good fun and part of the show’s entertainment style, while others sided with Moreno, agreeing that the comments were uncalled for.

Contis, known for his wit and comedic timing, has faced similar controversies in the past, but he has always managed to brush them off with humor. However, this time, the reaction was different, as more people, including well-known public figures like Moreno, took notice of his behavior.

As of now, neither Contis nor the management of Eat Bulaga! have issued an official statement regarding the incident. Nonetheless, the exchange has sparked a larger conversation about the limits of comedy and respect on live television, especially when it involves public personalities.

Moreno’s comments have shed light on the need for careful consideration when making jokes that might be taken as insults. While humor is a key component of Eat Bulaga!, it seems that some viewers are calling for a balance between entertainment and professionalism.

The controversy is likely to continue trending on social media as fans discuss the incident and express their opinions. For now, Eat Bulaga! and its hosts continue to entertain millions, but the question of what constitutes acceptable humor remains an ongoing discussion.
