Manager of Maine Mendoza confirms the exact date of her return to “Eat Bulaga”

Maine Mendoza surprised her fans when she released a three-page open letter on Twitter that addressed her true sentiments and feelings about the showbiz industry. After that move, she reportedly went to the United States on an official hiatus.

People thought that she might quit showbiz forever so “Eat Bulaga” host Vic Sotto aired his side and stated that the “phenomenal star” would be back on the network. He said:

“Ang alam ko, nakabakasyon siya. I’m not really in the know, I’m not privy to anything na personal niyang desisyon. Kasi, para sa akin, kung ano man yun… respetuhin na lang natin kung ano man yung mga issues niya, kung ano man yung mga pinagdadaanan niya. Siya lang nakakaalam dun. I’m not privy to anything personal pagdating sa kanya.”

He also cleared the rumors that indicated Maine was probably suspended from the noontime variety show. According to him:

“Definitely not. Ba’t naman isususpende siya ng TAPE, ‘no, ng Eat Bulaga? Lalo na kay Mr. Tuviera, respetado niya ‘yang opinyon, pag-iisip, at kung anuman ang pinagdadaanan ng bawat kasama namin sa Dabarkads.”

Now, in a recent report by Philippine Entertainment Portal, the manager of Maine Mendoza has spoken up about the issue. Rams David revealed that the Kapuso talent will be back on air soon. He said:

“Definitely she’ll be back. Alam naman nating she’s having a good time sa States with her family. Doon sila magki-Christmas.”

The source cited that Maine needed to rest for a while due to her various showbiz commitments. She would be back on “Eat Bulaga” by Jan. 1, 2018. David added:

“Sobrang napagod sa rami ngtrabaho. Saka remember, hindi naman siya showbiz, di ba? So, two years na mahigit na para siyang a fish out of the water. Bigla nating itinulak sa jungle! Dalawang taon niyang hinarap ang lahat ng challenges, ups and downs. Lahat.”

The manager clarified Maine’s three-page letter as well and shared that she has no intentions of quitting showbiz. He revealed:

“Yung open letter naman doesn’t mean na umayaw siya. Ang daming speculations na kesyo ganito, kesyo ganyan. Wala. None of those speculations are true! Ang totoo lang, nagbakasyon lang siya. Kasi Pasko naman. She deserves it.”

For the meantime, Maine Mendoza has not yet posted any official update about her ongoing vacation.
