EB dabarkads brought one thousand and one delight :) to the Filipinos in Singapore last sunday Oct 30, 2011.
I am not sure whether this is their first time to perform here, although I know the gang came here in 2005 to receive the trophy for winning the Asian TV awards for Best Entertainment Program "Eat Bulaga Silver Special" (related pictures in master Francis M's multiply page).
I was selected as one of the official event photographers. Although I wasn't able to cover the casts' airport arrival, I am still very happy to be given this opportunity to cover one of my favorite shows. In fact, if I weren't selected to shoot this event, I'm all set to buy front row seat. So I want to thank Mr. John Neil for giving me the opportunity. This is my first time to be selected as official photographer in a concert/event.

the classic trio. performed live to the sell-out Pinoy audience in Singapore.
~ Tito, Vic & Joey came to town with the rest of the "dabarkads"
Allan K., Jose, Wally, Ruby, Pia, Pauleen, Ryan, Anjo, Jimmy, Iza, Paolo and my favorite female host, Julia Clarete.
To the right, TVJ performed the "Bahay Kubo" song as Joey tried to translate the lyrics in English. The fans dig this number, and it became even funnier when Jimmy Santos entered the scene. The crowd laughed in unison as Jimmy Santos translated the "kundol" and "kamatis" with his own interpretation of the lyrics in English.
Venue was at D' Marquee in Downtown East Singapore, where international celebrities have appeared in the past. The EB hosts together with the EB babes, and the whole Eat Bulaga entourage, observers say this could very well be the biggest show here to have fully packed a Filipino crowd.

Before the gates opened at 1:30pm, Ryan Agoncillo and Anjo Yllana came out from the gates briefly for a meet & greet with the fans. Much to the delight of pinoys queuing for the entrance.
Ryan and Anjo didn't really have any performance or production number in the duration of the show that's why I guess they were given the task to meet the fans outside the arena.
~ Jimmy Santos has a bit more visible roles in the show. He opened the first production number in his trademark broken carabao english.
Later he joined TVJ in a routine comedy joke time.

in this first grand production number the cast went down from the stage and danced right in front of the 1st to the 4th row seat of the VIP section. This aisle in front is where all the photographers (yes including me=)) are seated. Chance to see them up close and personal. Pia, Pauleen, Julia, Iza and Ruby came down from the stage and danced at the front rows.
and then all of a sudden there in front of me this sexy Pauleen. Singing and dancing, and only about one meter away from me!
It's not Eat Bulaga without the Pinoy Henyo portion. The game was played with audience participation.
The contestant was selected from the crowd and to win, she has to guess the word on her forehead. She needs to get clues so she would ask questions to the audience, of which they would answer only by Yes or No. and I think she won, as I remember she sang the "bahay kubo" song until she got to the kamatis part.

another contestant was called from the audience to play. this guy introduced himself as a card dealer at the marina bay sands casino. Below image published in November 17, 2011 issue of philstar.com
the comedy tag-team of Wally and Jose performed in a comedy skit. this duo is really fun to watch.
Rockstar Julia brings it on as she takes the stage. As I mentioned earlier,she's my favourite of all the female hosts. A certified sexy rock and roll chick, crazy funny, and wild, smart TV host. She's also featured in FHM.com as among the 100 sexiest women in the world 2011.
