Eat Bulaga, the longest-running noontime show in the Philippines, has brought happiness and countless memories to Filipinos ever since it began airing in 1979.

It is undeniable that through the years, Eat Bulaga has changed the destiny of thousands of people from different walks of life, including child stars who rose to fame thanks to the said noontime show.

Way before Ryzza Mae Dizon and Baeby Baste became the featured child stars of Eat Bulaga, many other talented children have graced the stage of this noontime show.

Eat Bulaga catapulted the career of some celebrities today, just like Camille Prats and Pauleen Luna.

Many of them have grown up to pursue careers outside of show business.

Here are some of the former child stars of Eat Bulaga and what they are up to now.

Cariza Seguerra, more popularly known as Aiza Seguerra, first rose to prominence after finishing as fourth runner-up in the 1987 edition of Little Miss Philippines.

After her beauty pageant stint, she became a regular host of the said noontime show. She also became a child star who starred in several television series and movies.

During her teen years, she started a music career when she released the song “Pagdating ng Panahon” a major record hit in the Philippines.

Seguerra now makes occasional TV appearances to perform or act.

Today, Seguerra now identifies himself as a transgender man and prefers to be called “Ice”.

On August 12, 2016 she was appointed as chairperson of the National Youth Commission by President Rodrigo Duterte. However, she stepped down from said position last March.

Goyong

Many Eat Bulaga fans would remember Goyong as the young kid from the show’s now-defunct segment “Beh! Bote Nga!”.

Goyong, whose real name is Steven Claude Goyong, became part of the Eat Bulaga family when he finished first runner-up in “That’s My Boy”.

PEP reported that Goyong and his family moved to Alabama where he studied high school after he left show business.

According to his Facebook account, at 24 years old, Goyong studied college at the University of Santo Tomas and now works as a floor director and writer for Eat Bulaga, the same show where he was first discovered.

He is also in a relationship with Frances Charmine Andal.

Dindin Llarena

Dindin Llarena was another child star who was discovered in Little Miss Philippines during the late 90’s.

After joining Little Miss Philippines, she started a singing career at the age of 7, and at such a young age, she was able to perform alongside international singer David Pomeranz.

Dindin has also appeared on some television shows and films, like “Magnifico” and “Sanib”.

Llarena’s most recent TV appearances include some guestings on Eat Bulaga and The Ryzza Mae Show.

According to recent reports, Llarena has already finished studying college and is now working as a Corporate Services Responsibility Associate for PTT Philippines Foundation, Inc.

Atong Redillas

Atong Redillas is one of the talented young boys who was featured on Eat Bulaga.

He was once paired with Aiza Seguerra and even became Camille Prats’ partner during the grand finals of “Little Miss Philippines.”

It can also be remembered that when he was once asked by Mel Tiangco about his aspirations in life, Redillas said that he wanted to become a president of the Philippines.

With the brains that he has now as an adult, it wouldn’t be a shock if Redillas will be able to achieve his political aspirations as a child.

He graduated cum laude from the University of the Philippines in Diliman and now works as a Philippine Arts professor at the University of the Philippines in Manila.

Not forgetting his Eat Bulaga roots, Redilla still considers himself as a funny man.
