Joey de Leon expressed his gratefulness to the onling vlogers who were actively covering the issue between E.A.T and Eat Bulaga.

Before the end of the August 7 episode of the show, Joey mentioned several vloggers including Banat By, Batang Maynila Toits, and Mike Abe.

“Eto ang taos pusong pasasalamat naman sa mga sumusuporta sa amin, sa dinadaanan po namin, lalo na sa mga vloggers, kahit minsan hindi maganda ang naisusulat niyo,” Joey said.

“Sa mga hindi nabanggit alam niyo na ‘yon, katulad ng sinasabi ni Vic noon.. Kung ang titulo ng isang show at binanggit alam niyo ng kami ‘yon,” said Joey.

It can be recalled that Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. successfully renewed its trademark rights on Eat Bulaga branding for another 10 years.

It means that TAPE would own the Eat Bulaga title until 2033.

Meanwhile, Joey took a swipe against TAPE’s celebration, saying that it would be better if they were celebrating without stealing anything from other people.

Joey claimed to be the inventor of Eat Bulaga title and they were aiming to get the ownership of its copyright, which were believed to be more powerful than owning the trademark of the noontime show.

Amid the popularity of It’s Showtime’s contest ‘Mini Miss U,’ Eat Bulaga announced the return of their iconic talent search, Little Miss Philippines.

The said segment produced several talents since its creation in 1984, including Camille Prats, Aiza Seguerra, Gladys Reyes, Julie Ann San Jose, Kim Domingo, Ryza Mae Dizon, and Pauleen Luna.

This year’s Little Miss Philippines was hosted by Winwyn Marquez and Cassy Legaspi.

Cassy admitted that she was a fan of the said talent search, saying that she dreamed to join the contest.

“Actually noong bata pa ako mahiyain ako pero yan talaga ang dream ko.” said Cassy.

Winwyn admitted that she wanted her daughter Luna to join Little Miss Philippines.

“Lagi akong nanonood niyan. Pero actually ‘yung anak ko ang pangarap kong sumali sa ‘Little Miss Philippines,’” she said.

Observers believed that their decision to revive the contest was the answer of TAPE Inc. to the popularity of Mini Miss U.

Meanwhile, it’s not yet known if E.A.T would also launch its own counterpart to challenge the two other noontime shows.

It can be recalled that TAPE owned the trademark of Little Miss Philippines, so E.A.T must present something different if ever they wanted to create a counterpart of the iconic Eat Bulaga segment.

A Filipino vlogger has been receiving criticism online after he took pride in consuming almost all the free taste that had been offered to him by an establishment in Taiwan.

In his vlog, Bogart TV could be seen walking around a food market when he saw a free taste being offered at one of the stalls there.

Bogart then repeatedly consumed the samples of the food until the staff already stopped him.

He even badmouthed the vendor for stopping him from eating the food samples.

“Siya (vendor) na nagsawa. Tumutusok ako, nilalayo na niya. Hahahaha. Put—na mo ka a. Mamigay ka pa a,” said Bogart.

Netizens couldn’t hide their shame for the attitude shown by Bogart while visiting Taiwan, saying that it might badly affect the image of the Filipinos visiting the said country.

“Hindi nakakatuwa par. Isipin mo din kapakanan ng kababayan nating nandyan. Hindi malabong isipin nila na ganyan lahat ng pinoy,” said netizen Rome.

“Kunting hiya naman par pinapahiya mo pinas niyan,” netizen Emmanuel commented.

“Ako na Yung nahiya sa ginagawa mo Kaya diko na tatapusin video mo hiyang hiya nko mukhang angdami mo pang mabuburaot…nakakahiya boy,” netizen Lhianne remarked.

The video already reached 11-M views as of writing.

Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque said that they’re planning to file charges against people who were planning to continue calling their noontime show ‘Fake Bulaga’ even if they already renewed their trademark ownership.

In an interview with Abante, the celebrity lawyer believed that calling them ‘fake’ even if they were the owner of the Eat Bulaga trademark was defamatory.

“For me, no one has the right to call TAPE’s show as Fake Bulaga. It is the registered owner of the name and logo of ‘Eat Bulaga’, it is the one using it in its show for the past 4 decades and up to now so it cannot be the Fake Bulaga.” the lawyer said.

“In fact we will file all legal action/s to all who are calling it Fake Bulaga,” she added.

It can be recalled that the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) granted TAPE another 10-year extension on the ownership of Eat Bulaga.

It means that TAPE would own the trademark until 2033.

Meanwhile, Tito Sotto downplayed the successful renewal of TAPE Inc, saying that they were focusing on trying to get the copyright ownership of the show.
