Wally Bayola is taking a break from his popular television program Eat Bulaga
after a sex scandal involving his co-star.
The popular Filipino comedian was featured in a sex tape allegedly
showing him with co-star Yoshika “Yosh” Rivera. The video has created an
uproar in the Philippines and threatens to sink Bayola’s career.
As the scandal heats up, it appears Wally Bayola is trying to avoid the
spotlight for a bit. He will be taking an indefinite leave from Eat
Bulaga, said Malou Choa-Fagar, the comedian’s business manager.
The show’s executive have denied that Bayola is off the show for good,
however.
“Not true,” Malou Fagar, executive producer of Eat Bulaga, told the
Philippine Daily Inquirer after reports that Bayola had been fired.
But the Wally Bayola scandal could threaten more than just the
comedian’s airtime. The Family Code of the Philippines says that
concubinage could bring him a four-year prison sentence, though experts
say the charge may be difficult to hold up in court.
Those who have seen the video say the male star of the tryst looks
undoubtedly like Wally Bayola. He even makes the comedian’s trademark
“pa-pogi” sign at the end of the encounter. Bayola’s fans have been left
to wonder why he would film the extramarital affair, and how the tape
could have been leaked.
The scandal is reminiscent of another recent incident in the
Philippines. Wally’s comedy partner, Jose Manalo, was accused by his
wife of cheating and himself could face concubinage charges. Popular
Filipino singer Chito Miranda was also the subject of a released sex
tape, though his partner apologized via Instagram and that scandal has
since died down.
It’s unknown how long the sex tape scandal could keep Wally Bayola away
from Eat Bulaga.
