Going back to Paolo, he admits that his life has changed now that he is hosting a daily show like “Eat Bulaga”.
“Dati, I wake up late, but now I have to wake up early to be at the studio,” he says. “From my place in Makati, inaagahan ko ang punta sa studio sa Cainta para hindi ako matrapik.
"Then I go home after the show, I go back to bed feeling drained, at kapag nagising ako, hatinggabi na.
"Hindi na ako makatulog so I’m still adjusting. But I’m enjoying naman what I’m doing, also the dedication of the people I work with.
"Masaya kami, everyone’s positive at naging close na kami. As for the comments, we want to thank everyone.
"We listen to the positive ones at yung namba-bash lang, okay lang. Basta ang importante, wala kaming inaapakang tao and we’re just trying to entertain the audience.”
