Jose, Wally suspended for a month in Klownz and Zirkoh
Eat Bulaga! co-hosts Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola are temporarily suspended from their nightly gigs in all branches of Klownz and Zirkoh, the comedy bars partly-owned by Allan K. Wally and Jose committed a grave offense, not just to the management but also to the regular customers of Klownz in Quezon Ave. According to our sources connected to Allan's comedy bar, the two comedians arrived very late in one of their scheduled performances last week. Jose and Wally reportedly got stuck at a birthday party and a show in Nueva Ecija. Because of this, the duo failed to make it to their scheduled performance in Klownz Quezon Ave. The customers of the comedy bar that night naturally got disappointed and demanded to refund their entrance fees. It was also reported that it was their manager, Jun Nardo, who booked Jose and Wally for both shows, thinking that they can make a "lagare" from their Nueva Ecija show to their gig in Klownz Quezon Ave. It was already early in the morning when Jose and Wally reached Klownz Quezon Ave. and most of the customers have gone back home. Because of this incident, the two Eat Bulaga! mainstays had a long and hearty meeting with the management of Zirkoh. After the meeting, the Zirkoh Quezon Ave. management decided to suspend Jose and Wally for one month from all Klownz and Zirkoh branches. Now, it's Francis Magalona, Sugar Mercado, Phillip Lazaro, and John "Sweet" Lapus doing the rounds for most of the bars where Jose and Wally regularly perform, doing consecutive shows in a night in two or three bars. PEP discovered that Jose and Wally earn roughly P10,000 each nightly. Multiply that by two or three per night almost every day, and it's a big loss, even for just a month. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
