VETERAN comedian-host Michael V denied the rumors making rounds on social media about supposedly being offered a hosting position in the new “Eat Bulaga!” on GMA-7.
On Sunday, June 11, Michael released an official statement on his Instagram account to shut down the rumors.
He used to be a host on “Eat Bulaga!” but left the show due to several projects overlapping with the noontime variety show.
The 53-year-old comedian revealed that he was never offered to host the noontime show of GMA. He called out the news publication that wrote the fake news.
“FAKE NEWS ALERT! While I appreciate the positive comments, this one, ultimately is FAKE NEWS,” he wrote.
“WALA po akong natanggap na offer to host Eat Bulaga on GMA 7. At kung magkaroon man, I will STILL DECLINE dahil hindi na po maa-accommodate ng schedule ko at the moment,” he added.
Michael acknowledged the ongoing feud between the old hosts of “Eat Bulaga!” and the management of TAPE, Inc. He also hoped that things would be settled soon between the two parties as he would like to “feel welcome” should there be a time that he would appear in both “Eat Bulaga!” and the upcoming show of TVJ.
“It’s unfortunate na hindi naging maayos ang paghihiwalay ng dalawang kampo and I’m hoping na ma-plantsa na ang gusot. Alam ko kasi na in the future, I will appear on both shows for whatever reason and I would like to feel welcome when that time comes,” he said.
He advised his followers to watch out for fake news circulating online and that netizens should also be smart readers.
“I hope this clears things out for anyone who’s asking. Maging maingat at matalino po sa pagbabasa at pagri-research para hindi tayo mabiktima ng FAKE NEWS,” he ended. (PUSH)
