‘Eat Bulaga-Indonesia’ Hosts Bring Relief Goods To Flood Victims


Offering help to Filipinos devastated by the recent flooding are Uya Kuya and Rian Ibram, hosts of “Eat Bulaga-Indonesia.”

The comedic duo personally brought the relief goods to the country, a matter which Vic Sotto found commendable.

“Siyempre kami naman eh natutuwa na hindi nila tayo nakalimutang tulungan,” said he in an interview with GMA News.

Sotto, known to some fans as “Bossing,” only has good words for his Indonesian counterpart, Kuya.

“He’s okay, mabait siya, marami siyang talent,” he said. “Sikat na sikat yan sa Indonesia, very famous, pero hindi mo siya kakikitaan ng kahit kaunting ere.”

But Kuya, it seems, is not one to return the favor. “The bossings of ‘Eat Bulaga Philippines’ is handsome but I think I’m more handsome than him,” he jested in the same GMA News report.

Ibram was more “diplomatic” than Kuya. “This is our first time in Manila, it’s so good to be here, it’s an honor,” he said.

He went on to crow about “Eat Bulaga-Indonesia” raising good numbers ratings-wise after only several weeks of airing.

“People like to join us, it’s a good TV show, not only a show, but a life,” he said.

Kuya and Ibram appeared in a segment of the long-running noontime show which aired Saturday. To entertain studio audiences, Kuya allowed for several magic tricks.

When he asked for a kiss from Pauleen Luna, Sotto kidded him, “Ang kay Pedro ay kay Pedro...” – which prompted thunderous laughter from the crowd. Sotto and Luna are rumored to be an item.

Kuya and Ibram also jammed with the “Eat Bulaga Philippines” hosts on the song “Dahil Sa’yo” and “Bahay-Kubo,” which they translated in Bahasa.

In the end, the duo asked the hosts to also visit them in their home country. They also shared that they will continue urging their countrymen to help Filipinos who suffered during the recent typhoon via a fund-raising drive.

US Filipinos organize fund drive for flood victims

Over the last week extremely-heavy rainfall battered Manila and the northern Philippines wreaking havoc on the Philippine capital and surrounding areas much like Typhoon Ondoy in 2009. The death toll from the flooding has already risen to 51. More than 1.2 million people are affected, including 850,000 who have been displaced from their homes. Although the current rains are expected to recede, many more storms and typhoons are still expected to worsen the situation.

The National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON), with member organizations throughout the US calls on our families and friends to once again lend our love, prayers and monetary support to flood-affected communities by activating its Bayanihan Relief for Flood Victims in the Philippines.

NAFCON is collecting exclusively monetary relief  and ensures that donations go quickly and directly to the communities of the Philippines who are adversely affected by the typhoon identified as Saola. Donations will be coursed through Migrante International, our partner organization on the ground with a long and respected reputation of serving Filipino communities.

“Our kababayan back home can count on overseas Filipinos in the US. In response to Ondoy and Sendong, NAFCON along with other supporters has raised nearly $100,000 and we will continue to support our families and friends in need.” said Terry Valen, NAFCON President.

NAFCON has established cash and check collections centers throughout the US and will take donations via Paypal at http://tinyurl.com/nafconrelief3 or on our website at http://www.nafconsua.org/.

For mailed checks please make payable to “Tulong Sa Bayan” and send to 519 S. Spring St., Los Angeles, CA 90013. On memo please write: NAFCON Bayanihan Relief and your city of residence. Donations of $250 or more will be tax deductible.  Please include return address with donations.

For more information on fundraising and relief activities in your area please contact NAFCON regional coordinators nearest you or go to our website.
