In light of the massive success of AlDub featured in KalyeSerye, veteran host and longtime Eat Bulaga comedian Joey De Leon took to Twitter to celebrate the prosperity of their show just days ago. While he did not mention any names, it also seems like he aimed some of his tweets to rival network ABS-CBN in regards to the need to step up their game in hopes of competing with their successful tandem of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (Yaya Dub). While this drew minor debate, it reached some of the artists and hosts of ABS-CBN's noontime show It's Showtime! While some particularly have no responses to Joey's tweet, frankly Coleen Garcia has a few minced words of her own, and here is what she has to say in regards to the comedian's tweet.


"That's his own opinion and everybody's entitled to their own." as she says in light of the enigmatic tweets Joey posted on Twitter. When asked about the fierce competition between the two networks, she promptly responded that it's a good sign for both networks to bring the best out of each other in making every fan of their noontime shows entertained and happy. “One thing that I actually pick up on is that I’m happy that there are two noontime shows that are doing their very best to make people happy. Because, at the end of the day, it’s really about the audience. It’s really about the fans.” She was recently interviewed by PEP.ph, and the 22-year old actress said that she doesn't intend to judge, as she says "I don’t want to go ahead and jump to conclusions… because, I mean, here in showbiz, there have been many understandings also.” Though the two networks are different when it comes to entertaining their fans, she said that she's very glad that the distinctiveness of both networks resonates well with their fans and really connects with everyone watching their shows. She said “The good thing about all of this is we’re two different shows and we’re trying very, very hard to make our fans happy.” She also gave a piece of advice on their newly found star Angelica Jane Yap (Pastillas Girl) who is now shining in the spotlight but has received ample criticism and judgement as of late, and here is what Coleen has to say to Angelica: "My advice to her, is to keep holding on , hold on to God because he’s the only one who can get you through everything.” Push.abs-cbn.com recently published an article on Coleen giving advice to Pastillas Girl, in which she stated “You know none of it is scripted. What I think is if you start to disregard the entire competition between the networks, you start to see that this girl is really special. She has something to offer naman to people. She deserves where she is now.”

We think it's a healthy sign of competition for the two networks pitting themselves against each other, and it certainly fuels the fire for them to think of more creative ways to ignite the passion in their respective fan bases and ultimately, make each avid viewer entertained to the fullest when watching their noontime shows. We conclude that there should be no signs of hate towards each network's fan base, because what matters is we enjoy watching their shows and being entertained regardless of what network we watch, be it GMA Network or ABS-CBN. So, what do you think of the two networks' fierce competition? Is it a good sign? Chime us in with your opinions and don't forget to leave us a comment!
