Rumors have it that Paolo got suspended because of a Facebook rant posted on Thursday, March 10, which allegedly became the reason why TAPE Inc, producer of Eat Bulaga, to issue him a disciplinary action.
Reports from various social media blogs say that it was March 10 when Paolo was a guest in an event right after Eat Bulaga. But the host got in a bad mood when no one accommodated them after arriving at the venue.
Paolo then posted his rant on Facebook which was already deleted, though some netizens got a screenshot of the said status.
It reads, "UHM EXCUSE ME MGA MAGAGALING NA PRODUCTION, ANDITO NA HO ANG MGA MAIN HOSTS NINYO SA HOTEL. WALA MAN LANG TAO DITO NA MAGAASIKASO SAMEN AT KAME PA MISMONG MGA MAIN HOSTS ANG MAGAAYOS NG KWARTO NAMEN? HINIHINGAN PA KAMI NG ID NG HOTEL."
At around 3:43 in the afternoon, Paolo posted a screenshot of his Facebook private message tagging Liza Marcelo Lazatin, one of the writers of Eat Bulaga:
"Ah baka po gusto nyo na pong mag-reply or magpapunta po ng tao dito sa hotel po para sabihan kame po kung ano po ang mangyayare po. 30 minutes nyo na po na-READ yung text ko."
This was followed by another Facebook post at around 4:39PM and 5:11PM respectively:
"Akalin mo yon??? Isang oras at kalahati na kame nakahiga sa room namen? Hanggang ngayon wala pa reng nagsasabe samen kung anong oras at anong mga kaganapan??? Nakapagrant nako nyan dito sa fb ha! Waw. Titigas ng mga mukha nyo ha Liza Marcelo Lazatin."
"Sa mga bumubuo ng production ng pesteng event na to, hindi ko alam kung sino sino kayo dahil si Liza Marcelo Lazatin lang naman ang nagtetext saken nung una, im sure lahat kayo may FB at mababasa nyo to kaya dito ko na lang sasabihin.
"E total hanggang ngayon wala pa ring nagsasabe sa amen kung anong magaganap, pati mga makeup artist namen at wardrobe andito na sa room lahat kame CLUELESS, at wala atang may alam sa inyo kung ano ang magaganap, oorder nako ng redhorse at iinom nalang ako sa kwarto ko ok. Wag nyo kong IISTORBOHIN. Bow. Shot na."
Paolo was supposed to be hosting the Ad Summit Pilipinas 2016, which was held at Subic Bay Freeport Zone last March 9 to 12.

The dinner event was then hosted by Eat Bulaga's Vic Sotto, Pia Guanio, Anjo Yllana, Allan K., Ruby Rodriguez, Pauleen Luna, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, and Jose Manalo. Paolo was not seen in the event.
It's not yet cleared when will Paolo be back in Eat Bulaga and when Pep.ph asked the senior vice president of TAPE Inc, Ms. Malou Choa-Fagar if Paolo's suspension is true, she said that the issue is an internal matter and should not be discussed in public.
Paolo hasn't given any statement regarding the issue as of press time.
