Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) executives reportedly wanted to remove Eat Bulaga host and Little Miss Philippines 2012 Ryzza Mae Dizon.
According to Tito Sotto, the Jalosjos family, who owns TAPE, wanted Ryzza to be replaced with a child from Dipolog.
The Jalosjos family was based in Dipolog so, there’s a possibility that the said child was well-connected to the executives of TAPE.
Sotto opposed the plan of the Jalosjos family, saying that it would be better if they let Ryzza stay and just pair the child with the television host.
“They wanted to remove si Ryzza. Gusto palitan ng ibang bata na taga-Dipolog. Kung isang bata lang naman, okay lang, pero ‘wag nilang aalisin si Ryzza,” said Sotto.
“Kasi ‘yung gusto nilang i-promote na bata, pwede ngang matulungan ni Ryzza ‘yun eh, pwedeng maging ka-tandem, mas madaling sumikat,” he added.
Because of Ryzza’s popularity, TAPE even gave a chance to the television host to have her show ‘The Ryzza Mae Show’.
The revelation of Sotto surprised the fans because they thought that Ryzza had a good relationship with the executives of Tape.
Ryzza is one of the longest hosts of the show and already staying as Dabarkads for 11 years.
