The Philippines’ oldest and most successful variety show, Eat Bulga, which airs Mondays through Saturdays at noontime is now shown in Indonesia. Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV), an Indonesian TV Network, obtained a franchise from TAPE Inc. (Eat Bulaga’s Producer) through a deal last month to produce their own version of the show bearing the same title and format.
The Indonesian version will also be filled with entertainment, fun, games, prizes, and inspirations. There will be versions for Pinoy Henyo(“Indonesia Pintar”), Juan For All, All For Juan (“One For All, All For One”), Bulagaan (“Bolagaan”), and Karaoke Stud.
Eat Bulaga’s host, “Bossing” Vic, will also have his own counterpart in the Indonesian version called Uya Kuya, literally, Boss Uya. TheDabarkads (the term Eat Bulaga use for the hosts and fans alike), on the other hand, is translated as “Bulagang”.
Watch and let's unite both Filipinos and Indonesians in being more loving to family, friends & community and also the spirit of joy!
Congratulations both Eat Bulaga Indonesia & Eat Bulaga Philippines! God bless and more power!

History
Malou Choa-Fagar, senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) revealed that SCTV was the first to approach them. Program director Harsiwi Achmad has been watching the show on Youtube before she moved to SCTV. Achmad felt that the program was entertaining and education that can spread positive values and get close with the community. Feeling that it would work well with Indonesian audience, Achmad contacted Marketing Creative Service Advisor, Gerry C. Guzman, a Filipino, who then became a way for the SCTV and Filipino executives to negotiate. Kebon Jeruk, Director of Programs and Production at Studio Penta SCTV, agreed became interested, too, with the program, saying that he wants the program to be as successful as the original program.
The program airs at 4:00PM (Indonesian Time) as an afternoon show, a deviation from the original variety show which premieres at noontime, this was to consider the viewers' prayers time according to Islam. The first season is set for 13 weeks, as a trial period.[1][2][3]
