Manila, Philippines — Fans of the long-running noontime show Eat Bulaga were caught off guard this week after a rare and heartfelt interview featuring Ryzza Mae Dizon surfaced, where she openly shared her thoughts on the show’s newest hosts — particularly Atasha Muhlach, the daughter of screen legends Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales.

In the exclusive conversation, Ryzza, now a teenager and no longer the bubbly child host she once was, finally broke her silence about her experiences behind the scenes during the show’s major transition. While she was careful and respectful with her words, viewers were especially drawn to her revelations about Atasha, who joined the show during its latest relaunch.

“People always ask me what Atasha is really like off-camera,” Ryzza began. “And to be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect either when I first saw her walk into the studio.”

According to Ryzza, her first impression was shaped by Atasha’s quiet and composed demeanor — a stark contrast from the usual high-energy environment of the show. But as days turned into weeks, Ryzza shared that she began to notice something deeper behind the reserved exterior.

“Atasha is one of the most respectful and sincere people I’ve met,” Ryzza said, smiling. “She may be new to hosting, but she’s very eager to learn. She listens, she asks questions, and she always greets everyone — from the senior staff to the crew — with kindness.”

The revelation came as a surprise to some fans who had speculated about possible tension behind the scenes, especially with the mix of veteran and new hosts. But Ryzza’s statement painted a very different picture — one of warmth, cooperation, and quiet humility.

“She never acted like she was better than anyone, even though she came from a famous family,” Ryzza added. “She’s always early, prepared, and she never complains even when rehearsals go long.”

The former child star’s words quickly went viral, with netizens praising both Ryzza for her honesty and Atasha for her commendable attitude. Fans expressed joy in seeing genuine camaraderie forming among the show’s hosts, especially amid a year filled with changes and high expectations.

Behind the scenes, production staff also echoed Ryzza’s sentiments. Some crew members anonymously shared that Atasha has been a “breath of fresh air” in the studio — always polite, hardworking, and never hesitant to thank the team after each segment. They noted that she often stays after tapings to review her performance and ask for feedback.

Ryzza also reflected on how much Eat Bulaga has changed over the years — from her own early days as a child host to now seeing a new generation step into the spotlight. “It’s exciting and emotional at the same time,” she said. “But seeing someone like Atasha, who really gives her best, gives me hope that the show will keep inspiring more people.”

As for the speculations circulating online, Ryzza urged fans to be more careful with what they believe. “Sometimes people create stories that aren’t true. But if you’re there every day like I was, you see people for who they really are,” she explained.

The interview ended on a positive note, with Ryzza sending her love to the Eat Bulaga family and cheering on her former co-hosts. She may no longer be part of the regular lineup, but she said she would always consider the show her second home.

With Ryzza’s thoughtful remarks shedding light on Atasha Muhlach’s character, fans are now seeing the young host in a new light — not just as a celebrity daughter, but as someone determined to make her own mark with grace and humility.

And in an industry where appearances often overshadow reality, moments like this — filled with truth and kindness — are a welcome reminder that genuine respect behind the camera is just as important as the smiles we see on screen.
