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.
