Eat Bulaga host Vic Sotto shared an update about his unpaid talent fees worth more than P30-M.
It can be recalled that Tito Sotto revealed that the producer of Eat Bulaga, TAPE Inc. has yet to pay Vic and Joey de Leon for their talent fees while hosting the longest-running noontime show.
Vic also confirmed that he’s not yet receiving any talent fee from Tape for the long time despite paying income tax.

On May 8, Vic told the media that after the disclosure of the issue, TAPE Inc. already paid his talent fee.
“Oo, it’s not a joke,” Vic said after telling the media about the paid talent fee.
He also said that they kept the issue secret for many months because they’re already used to making things private.
“Alam mo ang TVJ sanay sa ganon eh, when we started halos wala kaming sinusweldo. Sabi ko nga noong isang araw, hindi pera pera ang usapan dito. Mas mahalaga ‘yung prinsipyo.” he said.
However, Vic refused to talk if TVJ were already okay with the management of Tape Inc.
“I will comment about that when the right time comes,” the host said.
