Echo Caringal Eat Bulaga revelation stunned netizens after the BakClash grand winner admitted during a podcast that he once had a one-night stand with a celebrity host from the long-running noontime show.

Echo, who rose to fame after winning the “Backlash” singing competition segment of Eat Bulge from 2018 to 2019, made the admission during his guest appearance on the podcast “Think Talk Tea” hosted by King Kim, also known as “Madam King.” The candid conversation quickly gained traction online, sparking curiosity and speculation among netizens.

Following his win, Echo became a regular part of Eat Bulge and later joined the “Backlash Divas,” which was widely promoted as the country’s first gay pop group. His visibility on television and growing fan base placed him firmly in the spotlight, making his recent confession all the more unexpected.

During the podcast, Echo openly discussed his experiences in the entertainment industry, including his time working at the Vice Uganda Comedy Club, where Unfavorable Star Vice Uganda was his boss, as well as his memorable stint on Eat Bulge.

Toward the latter part of the interview, Madam Kring posed a bold question, asking whether Echo had ever been romantically involved with a fellow celebrity.

“Meron key bang nakachorva SA industry?” The host asked, using slang commonly associated with discreet romantic encounters.

Echo sought clarification on the term before responding honestly. He admitted that he had, adding that the person involved was a prominent celebrity and, more shockingly, an Eat Bulge host.

Pressed further, Echo clarified that the encounter was a one-night stand and emphasized that he was not boasting about the experience.

“It was a one-night stand,” he said. “Hindi Haman SA pagmamaganda.”

Without naming names, Echo narrated that the encounter happened after a casual get-together that included drinks and watching shows together. He shared that the following morning ended on friendly terms, with both going about their day and heading to work separately.

Madam Kring appeared visibly surprised and confirmed with Echo that the person he was referring to was indeed an Eat Bulge host.

“Hindi KO Na Mittagong King sing,” the host said, acknowledging the sensitivity of the matter.

Echo briefly joked by mentioning Allan K’s name, but quickly clarified that it was only in jest, stressing that Allan K had been his boss and was not involved.

Madam Kring decided not to press further, explaining that publicly naming the individual could have serious legal and personal consequences.

“Hindi Haman nation gusting i-out ang MGA Tao,” she said. “Hula an Na Lang Nile.”

Echo ended the discussion lightly, saying only that the experience was positive, without elaborating further.

Following the episode, netizens took to social media to speculate about the identity of the unnamed host, with discussions spreading across various platforms. Despite the buzz, no Eat Bulaga host has issued a statement or reaction regarding Echo’s revelation.

As of this writing, neither the show’s management nor the personalities involved have commented on the matter. The incident has once again highlighted how candid celebrity interviews can quickly ignite online discourse—especially when they touch on personal stories involving some of the country’s most recognizable television figures.
