MANILA \u2013 With mainstay host Paolo Ballesteros\u2019 nonappearance in the recent airings of daily noontime show \u201cEat Bulaga,\u201d viewers started to speculate that a \u2018disciplinary action\u2019 may have been imposed on the host due to a series of recent rants on his Facebook account.<\/p>\n

In his Facebook posts, Ballesteros was seemingly upset over a production staff who did not assist him and the other main hosts during a supposed stint at the Ad Summit Pilipinas 2016 held at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cUHM EXCUSE ME MGA MAGAGALING NA PRODUCTION, ANDITO NA HO ANG MGA MAIN HOSTS NINYO SA HOTEL. WALA MAN LANG TAO DITO NA MAGAASIKASO SAMEN AT KAME PA MISMONG MGA MAIN HOSTS ANG MAGAAYOS NG KWARTO NAMEN? HINIHINGAN PA KAMI NG ID NG HOTEL<\/em>,\u201d the first of the series of statuses read, a screenshot of a message he sent to a certain Liza Marcelo Lazatin.<\/p>\n

(Uhm, excuse me production people, your main hosts are already here in the hotel. There\u2019s no one here to assist us and we, the main hosts, are the ones to arrange our rooms? The hotel personnel are asking for our IDs.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAkalain mo yon??? Isang oras at kalahati na kame nakahiga sa room namen? Hanggang ngayon wala pa reng nagsasabe samen kung anong oras at anong mga kaganapan??? Nakapagrant nako nyan dito sa fb ha! Waw\u2026<\/em>,\u201d Ballesteros continued with another post.<\/p>\n

(Can you believe it? We have been lying in our room for an hour and a half? Until now, still no one\u2019s informing us what time [the program will start] and what will happen there? I have been able to rant here on Facebook already. Wow…)<\/p>\n

\u201cE total hanggang ngayon wala pa ring nagsasabe sa amen kung anong magaganap, pati mga makeup artist namen at wardrobe andito na sa room lahat kame CLUELESS, at wala atang may alam sa inyo kung ano ang magaganap, oorder nako ng redhorse at iinom nalang ako sa kwarto ko ok. Wag nyo kong IISTORBOHIN. Bow. Shot na<\/em>,\u201d he concluded after hours with still no response from the production staff.<\/p>\n

(After all, until now, there\u2019s still no one who\u2019s briefing us on what\u2019s going to happen in the program, even our make-up artists and wardrobe stylists are here in the room; all of us are clueless and it seems like no one among you knows the event, I\u2019ll order Red Horse beer and \u00a0drink in my room, okay? Do not disturb me. Bow. Shot now.)<\/p>\n

Adding more to the speculations, Ballesteros was not spotted at the Ad Summit while his co-hosts Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola were seen in the event.<\/p>\n

As of posting, both Eat Bulaga producer TAPE Inc. and the 33-year-old host remained mum on the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
