Needless to say, the news that broke out while the show was just starting definitely affected everyone - hosts, audiences and even those who were watching at home. I was even wandering how they can continue with the program because I can feel their grief even though I was only watching on my TV… I know, cause I felt it too.
But theirs is an industry that always go with the cliche “the show must go on!” And being professionals and all, Eat Bulaga went back to their regular program, making people happy… in spite of the sad news.
Down the latter part of the show, at the jackpot portion of “Itaktak mo!” the contestant got the jackpot prize of P1 million when the roulette wheel stopped at the EB logo which signifies the jackpot prize.
Joey de Leon even kidded “Nagbiro si Kiko!” implying that Francis M had a hand or helped the contestant win P1 M jackpot prize. Perhaps he did… his way of making them feel that he is still, and very much, a part of Eat Bulaga.
