Ruby Rodriguez (born January 10, 1966) is a Filipina actress and one of the former hosts of the Philippine noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!.

Career

[edit]

Rodriguez originally started her career as a preschool teacher, later appearing in a recurring role in Okay Ka, Fairy Ko! alongside Vic Sotto and Aiza Seguerra.[1] She has been starring as one of Eat Bulaga!'s hosts since 1991 and has since then become a regular host.

Rodriguez joined Eat Bulaga! at the age of 25, replacing Helen Vela, who left the show due to medical and health reasons that would result to her death a year later. However, in 2021, she left Eat Bulaga! after 31 years as a co-host–counting her hiatus in hosting the program due to the COVID-19 pandemic–due to her having to take care of her son who has dyslexia, and then, her relocation to the United States to be with her daughter.[2]

As of 2021, she is now living in Los Angeles, California and currently works at the Philippine Consulate Office.[3]

Antonio Jesus "AJ" Aquino suffered from Henoch–Schönlein purpura since age 6.[4] In June, 2024, he, joined by sister Antoinette "Toni" Aquino, graduated secondary school as Panther awardee despite his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder learning disabilities. He is set to attend J. P. Widney High School.[5][6]
