GOOD NEWS! 🔴 BOSSING VIC SOTTO AND JOEY DE LEON DROP BOMBSHELL: A FORMER DABARKADS IS OFFICIALLY MAKING A COMEBACK!

Hold on to your noontime nostalgia, Dabarkads! In a surprise announcement that sent fans into a frenzy, comedy legends Bossing Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon have officially confirmed the much-anticipated return of a former Dabarkads—and it’s a comeback no one saw coming!

During a special live segment of their noontime show “E.A.T.,” the iconic duo teased fans with cryptic clues before finally dropping the big reveal: “Isang Dabarkads na matagal nating na-miss… BABALIK NA!”

The studio erupted in cheers, the hosts were visibly emotional, and social media? It exploded.

WHO IS THE RETURNING DABARKADS?

While Vic and Joey did not explicitly name the returning personality during the live tease, sources close to the show hinted that it could be none other than… WALLY BAYOLA or possibly even RYAN AGONCILLO — two beloved figures who’ve been absent from the “Eat Bulaga!” universe in recent months (and years!).

A teaser clip played shortly after the announcement featured throwback moments of a “mystery Dabarkads,” showing highlights of wild skits, iconic “Juan for All” episodes, and a crowd-favorite Bawal Judgmental round. A familiar laugh echoed at the end — and fans think they know exactly who it is.

FAN THEORIES FLOOD SOCIAL MEDIA

Within minutes, hashtags like #DabarkadsComeback, #BossingBombshell, and #WallyOrRyan began trending across X, Facebook, and TikTok.

“I swear that laugh was Wally’s! No one does Lola Nidora like him!”
“RYAN AGONCILLO COMEBACK PLEASE!!! I MISS HIS COOL DAD ENERGY!”
“Whoever it is, we’re ready. This is what the OG Dabarkads needed!”

Some fans even speculated a double comeback could be in the works, especially after Joey de Leon posted a cryptic tweet:
“Not just one… surpriseS (plural) are coming. Abangan.”

THE BARKADA REUNITES?

Ever since the major shift in Philippine noontime TV in 2023 — when Tito, Vic, Joey and the rest of the original Dabarkads parted ways with the old Eat Bulaga! under TAPE Inc. and created “E.A.T.” — fans have been clamoring for reunions and returns.

With “E.A.T.” steadily regaining its footing on TV5 and online platforms, this potential reunion is being seen as a turning point — both for the show and for its loyal fans who have followed the Dabarkads for decades.

One studio audience member shared:

“Ang tagal naming hinintay ‘to. Parang bumalik yung saya. Parang kumpleto na ulit.”

VIC SOTTO: “MAY MGA BAGAY NA BABALIK SA TAMANG PANAHON”

Bossing Vic remained tight-lipped about specifics, but dropped a line that sent chills:

“May mga Dabarkads tayong kailangan lang ng tamang panahon para bumalik. Ngayon na ‘yon.”

He added, “Lahat ng ito ay para sa inyo — sa Dabarkads, at sa mga loyal na tumutok kahit anong mangyari.”

Joey, ever the joker, chimed in:

“Basta abangan niyo. Hindi lang ito basta pagbabalik… may kasamang twist!”

WHAT TO EXPECT?

A special episode has been set for this Saturday, rumored to feature the grand reintroduction of the returning Dabarkads. The network has been unusually quiet — a sign, many believe, that something big is in the works.

From leaked rehearsals to surprise guests being spotted near the TV5 studios, all signs point to an epic, emotional, and possibly hilarious homecoming.

FINAL THOUGHTS: A NOSTALGIC VICTORY FOR FANS

Whether you’re a fan of the original “Eat Bulaga!” days or a newer viewer of “E.A.T.,” one thing’s certain: the return of a legendary Dabarkads is more than just good news — it’s a celebration of Filipino entertainment history.

In an era of rapid changes in showbiz and media, seeing beloved icons reunite, laugh together again, and share joy with millions of Filipinos feels like home.

So mark your calendars, Dabarkads.
The past is calling. The comeback is happening. And it’s going to be unforgettable.
