Victory for the Dabarkads
This ratings success is a huge morale booster for the Eat Bulaga team and its legion of dedicated fans, affectionately known as the "Dabarkads." The move to TV5 has been a strategic one, and these numbers indicate a successful transition and retention of its core audience.
