"Tamang Panahon" was a benefit concert and a special episode of Eat Bulaga!, as well as the 87th episode of its "Kalyeserye" portion that aired live on television in the Philippines and other countries on October 24, 2015 from the Philippine Arena. "Tamang Panahon" highlighted the no-restrictions meeting of the AlDub love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza. The event experienced very high demand immediately after the concert's announcement, with ticket sales amounting to ₱14 million. All of the proceeds went to the construction of libraries that benefited schools in the Philippines and the Lumad.

Juan Emilio "Jake" Enriquez Ejercito is a Filipino actor. He is the son of former actor and Philippine President Joseph Estrada and a half-brother to Senators Jinggoy Estrada and JV Ejercito.
