“Mabuti pa si Bitoy na lang or si Dingdong Dantes, Jose halos araw araw mo na sila nakikita sa TV.”
“He doesn’t deserve to be a judge, he’s not even a matinee celebrity, he’s a comedian.”
“Huwag naman siya please! Maraming mas deserving.”
However, based on the article, a netizen who defended the EB host had this statement: “Jose Manalo is a multi-talented comedian and actor, so pwedeng pwede siya mag judge, he knows a talent when he sees one.
