Buzz ng Bayan tackled some of the biggest issues in the country like the tragic earthquake in Bohol that affected the Banana Split cast and staff, Freddie Aguilar’s relationship with a 16-year-old girl, Luis Manzano and Jennylyn Mercado’s controversial break-up and the serious effects of husband-and-wife disputes on ordinary families such as the ongoing feud between Claudine Barretto and Raymart Santiago as its case study.
