Veteran host-comedian Joey de Leon reacted to the suspension of live-audience admission of his GMA-7 noontime show, Eat Bulaga!

Yesterday, March 9, the program’s management announced that live audience admission has been suspended as a preventive measure due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.

Its implementation began yesterday.

Joey revealed that the hosts were also notified about it yesterday.

“We were just told about it when we got to the studio yesterday morning,” the veteran actor-host said in an interview with Ricky Lo that appeared in The Philippine STAR this Tuesday, March 10.

According to Joey, it is not certain how long the suspension of live audience admission will last.

“A sign was placed at the entrance that we won’t be accepting ‘live’ audience for the meantime, but we don’t know how long it will last.”

Eat Bulaga! is held at APT Studios in Cainta, Rizal.

Joey also reminded: “No more beso-beso, no more kissing, no more shaking hands, just a simple ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ from a distance.”

In the guidelines released by the Department of Health (DOH), some of the preventive measures are “social distancing, proper hygiene, and cough etiquette.”
