‘Tahanan Pinakamasaya’ reportedly bid farewell to its viewers last Saturday, amid the reports that its producer, Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. was facing financial difficulties.
According to the report published by the Philippine Entertainment Portal, TAPE was required to pay the GMA Network, almost P800-M.
They added that the said amount has been accumulated for many years, even during the time of its former hosts, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.
However, several fans believed that Tahanang Pinakasaya was in good financial standing due to the load of their commercial even during the rumored last day of the show.
Meanwhile, an insider from TAPE Inc. said that the company was paying a big amount of money to let their show air on GMA Network.
“Ang laki rin kasi ng gastos ng TAPE, Inc. kaya nagdesisyon na sila na tapusin na ang “Tahanang Pinakamasaya. Mutual decision ‘yon, ha! Hindi tsinugi ng GMA-7 ang noontime show ng TAPE, Inc. at malinaw naman ‘yon,” the insider told the reporters of Abante.
The insider also added that the hosts wanted to do their job until the last day of the show on March 8.
As of writing, TAPE Inc. has yet to give any official statement to respond to the rumors.
