According to Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) this are the Philippine’s Longest running television shows. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) counts the shows that have shown tremendous survival instincts in the vast jungle called television.

First is the noontime show Eat Bulaga, the definitely become a showbiz institution. Its started in Radio Philippines Network or RPN 9 on July 30, 1979. Hosted by a comic trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon (TVJ).

Second is MAALAALA MO KAY, premiered on primetime television in 1991, ABS-CBN revived a popular old concept that originated in radio-dramatizing true-to-life experiences that people wrote in letters they sent in by mail. Hosted by Charo Santos-Concio.

Third is BUBBLE GANG, Debuting in October 1995, Bubble Gang had to go through all the growing pains before achieving enormous success in the field of TV comedy. And its been running for 12 years.

Fourth is THE BUZZ, For eight years now—most moms, young women, and teens have reserved their Sundays for chika. Hosted by Cristy Fermin and Boy Abunda.

Fifth is STARTALK, the show is aired on November 19, 1995. For a show that struggled badly during its infancy, it’s astonishing that GMA-7’s StarTalk is still making loud noise every Saturday. Hosted by Butch Francisco, Lolit Solis, Lorna Tolentino, and Joey de Leon.

Sixth is UNANG HIRIT, made its first appearance in 1999. For a morning show to last more than five years, its achievement is quite impressive. Why? Because viewers’ attention span is short on such an ungodly timeslot. The market consists of moms preparing meals for the family or office people getting ready for work.

Seventh is ASAP, initial telecast took place on February 1995. Kapamilya’s ASAP stands for “All-Star Afternoon Party.” In line with the shifting direction of television programming in the ‘90s, the show aligned its concept to the preferences and tastes of its target market-the youth and the so-called “yuppie” audience.

Eight and lastly is SOP, “Sobrang Okey, Pare”—in 1997 to compete with ASAP. Sunday noontime variety shows drastically changed since German Moreno’s GMA Supershow. Gone were the Belle Star Dancers as well as the foggy smoke effects that regularly infiltrated the stage. It is Originally Hosted by Regine Velasquez, Cacai Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, and Janno Gibbs.
