Eat... Bulaga! is the longest-running noontime show in the Philippines, first airing on July 30, 1979 on RPN 9 before moving to ABS-CBN (1989-1995) and later GMA Network (1995-2023). Created by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, it became a household name with its mix of comedy, games, and generous cash prizes. Over the decades, Eat Bulaga! introduced iconic segments like "Little Miss Philippines," "Mr. Pogi," and "Juan for All, All for Juan," keeping Filipino audiences entertained and engaged. The show’s ability to evolve while staying true to its fun and family-friendly appeal cemented its place in pop culture.

​

The show’s original theme song, "Eat... Bulaga! The Original," debuted on May 18, 1982 with lyrics by Marvin Dy Buncio & Pancho Opus, music by Vic Sotto, and arrangement by Homer Flores. The song captures the show’s nationwide reach and energy, with the famous opening line, "Mula Aparri hanggang Jolo" (later updated to "Mula Batanes hanggang Jolo" in 1998). The lyrics evolved over the years, reflecting the growing Eat Bulaga! family, from naming original hosts Tito, Vic, Joey, and Coney Reyes to later including younger stars like Aiza Seguerra. With its catchy tune and uplifting message of unity and fun, the song remains an iconic anthem that Filipinos instantly associate with their favorite noontime show.

Original Lyrics:

Mula Aparri hanggang Jolo
(1998 Lyrics- "Mula Batanes hanggang Jolo")
Saan ka man ay halina tayo (Then changed to "halina kayo")
Isang libo't isang tuwa
Buong bansa..... Eat... Bulaga!

Buong bansa ay nagkakaisa
Sa tuwa at saya na aming dala
Isang libo't isang tuwa
Buong bansa..... Eat... Bulaga!

Sina Tito, Vic, at Joey
Kasama pati si Coney
(1988 Lyrics - "Si Aiza at si Coney")
(1998 Lyrics - "Barkada'y dumarami" ) 
Apat silang nagbibigay 
(1988 Lyrics - "Silang lahat ay nagbibigay")
Ligaya sa ating buhay

Buong bansa ay nagkakaisa
Sa tuwa at saya na aming dala
Isang libo't isang tuwa
Buong bansa..... Eat... Bulaga!

Isang libo't isang tuwa
Buong bansa..... Eat... Bulaga!
