GMA 7 is now being branded by some people as the "Home of the Losers". Why?
That's after PEP posted on Twitter that Edu Manzano is set to host a game show in the Kapuso station.
Edu lost in the 2010 National Elections when he ran as running mate to
Presidential Candidate Gibo Teodoro.
And breaking his promise that he will retire in showbiz after the elections, here he is now going to host a new game show not on ABS-CBN
where he stayed for the longest time but on GMA 7. And true to what happened to him in the elections, Edu's new show reportedly will be
titled "Atras Talo".
Edu has actually been rumored to switch networks since Cesar Montano also transfered to GMA mid-July. And just like Edu, Cesar also lost in
the elections as Bohol Governor.
With that, some people are calling the Kapuso network as "Home of the
Losers" as it continues to welcome those who lost in the recent elections.
Aside from Edu and Cesar, other losers in the elections are also cast in some GMA shows, just like Ara Mina (Ilumina), Anjo
Yllana (Eat Bulaga) and Joey Marquez (Kaya ng Powers).
Despite the new tag, GMA however also takes pride of having in the network those who won in the elections: Sen. Bong Revilla (Kap's Amazing Stories),
Christopher De Leon (Ilumina), Yul Servo (Trudis Liit) and Manny Pacquiao (Show Me Da Manny).
