Arnold Clavio, pinaalalahanan si Inday Sara Duterte sa kanyang nakaraang pahayag: “Tila madaling makalimot ang bise presidente”

Arnold Clavio reacted to the statement made by Vice President Sara Duterte against House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

It can be recalled that Duterte denied that Romualdez tried to convince her to run for the higher office.

“Speaker Martin Romualdez had absolutely nothing to do with my decision to run for Vice President. To say that he “tremendously helped in pushing for” my Vice President is acutely inaccurate,” she said.

However, in his Instagram post, Arnold posted a video in 2022, where Duterte can be seen praising Romualdez and recognizing the contribution of the House Speaker in her campaign.

“Pero makailang oras lang , kaagad kumalat ang isang video , na kuha sa oath-taking ceremony sa Leyte ni Romualdez bilang 1st District Representative sa RTR Gymnasium in Tacloban City noong June 15, 2022. Sa video pinupuri ni Duterte ang naging malaking papel ni Romualdez sa kanyang kampanya at pagkapanalo noong nagdaang eleksyon.” Clavio wrote.

“Tila ang mensahe ay ang madaling pagkalimot ng Bise Presidente. May dapat ba tayong pagtakhan dito ? Sa politika , walang permanenteng kaibigan o kaaway , kundi permanenteng interes lamang.” he added.

Clavio even suspected that Duterte and Romualdez have both ambitions to run for higher office.

“Ang maliwanag – parehong may ambisyon ang dalawang lider ng bansa na pumalit kay PBBM sa 2027 . Hmmmm.” he said.

 

Ai-Ai delas Alas binatikos matapos makisimpatya kay Betong Sumaya pero hindi sa TVJ

Ai-Ai delas Alas defended Eat Bulaga host Betong Sumaya after the latter received criticisms from netizens for accepting the offer from TAPE Inc.

In a Facebook post, Ai-Ai sympathized with the criticisms being received by Betong for just accepting the hosting gig for the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga.

“Nakita kita sa tiktok malungkot ka, mahirap talaga yang sitwasyon nyo ngayun, bilang mang gagawa alam ko sumusunod kalang syempre , mabait kang tao , ma respeto sa senior sa yo.. isa ka sa mabait na artist na nakilala ko,” said Ai-Ai.

God bless you ipag patuloy mo lang na maging mabait si Lord ang bahala,” she added.

However, not all netizens were delighted by Ai-Ai’s post and reminded her that she’s also close to TVJ.

“Wow nakisimpatya ka sa kanya pero sa tvj hindi kala ko ba malapit ka sa tvj mas higit na mas masakit ang ngyare sa tvj kase 44 yrs ang pinaguusapan.” netizen Anne said.

“Magkaiba Ang kindness sa delikadeza alam naming mabait si Betong pero wala syang delikadeza at Integridad yun lang ok TVJ is Eat Bulaga, Eat Bulaga is TV,” netizen Ric commented.

Pamilya Jalosjos, sinabi na sila ang may karapatan sa pangalang ‘Eat Bulaga’: “Kami po ang nag-trademark niyan”

Tila nangangamoy na talaga ang isang matinding demandahan sa pagitan ng mga opisyal ng Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) at ng tatlong orihinal na host ng Eat Bulaga na sina Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon.

Matatandaan na matindi ang diskusyon sa kung sino nga ba ang may karapatan na gamitin ang titulo na ‘Eat Bulaga’ ngayong opisyal ng kumalas ang TVJ sa TAPE Inc.

Habang ang alam ng karamihan ay mismong si Joey de Leon ang nag-isip ng pangalang ‘Eat Bulaga’ ay tila hindi ito basta basta isusuko ng pamilya Jalosjos na siyang nagmamay-ari ng TAPE.

Ayon sa isa sa mga miyembro ng pamilya Jalosjos ay sila ang may karapatan na gamitin ang ‘Eat Bulaga’.

“Syempre, kami po ang nag-trademark niyan ‘nung 2011. And we also had another application 1991. So just the fact na walang iba na nag-oppose. None of them, none of the TVJs, No one oppose our filing for the trademark of Eat Bulaga, it just means to say na talagang it’s clear. The name stays with us, the company and with the incorporation. So hindi po talaga pwedeng madala po ‘yung Eat Bulaga” ani Jalosjos.

Sinabi pa ni Jalosjos na hindi na kailangan pang magkaroon ng demandahan dahil sa malinaw naman na sila ang may karapatan sa pangalan ng noontime show.

“Eat Bulaga is really TAPE. In fact ang kontrata ng GMA 7 is with TAPE Eat Bulaga. I don’t think it… we need a lawyer, it takes a lawyer to understand that we have been running for 44 years. Kahit ‘yung mga lolo at lola natin ngayon, alam na Eat Bulaga is really in GMA 7. And we will uphold the contract with them, and them as well. So talagang ‘yung show na ipapakita namin sa channel 7 will always be Eat Bulaga.” aniya.

Sa ngayon ay hindi pa nagsasalita si Joey tungkol sa nasabing isyu.

Ibinahagi din ni Joey sa gitna ng isyu kung paano niya nga ba naisip ang pangalang ‘Eat Bulaga’.

“Something came up sa aking utak in 1979 while having coffee sa kusina ni Tito sa White Plains. I was in the company of a certain Jess Espiritu. Hmmm, JESUS and HOLY SPIRIT? Salamat po,” ani Joey.

“And what do you do in a canteen? Of course, EAT! And that became my appetizer to help me through until I came up with a delicious title – Eat Bulaga!” he added.

Nitong nakaraang buwan ay kinuha na ng TVJ ang serbisyo ng isa sa mga pinakasikat na law firm sa Pilipinas upang asikasuhin ang gusot sa pagitan nila at ng TAPE.

 

Allan K, pumalag sa sinabi ng mga opisyal ng TAPE Inc. na hindi sila pinapapasok sa dressing room: ‘Baka naka-lock lang’

Former Eat Bulaga host Allan K. denied the claims made by Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) President Jon Jalosjos said that they were not treated like a family by the Dabarkads.

In an interview, Jalosjos even claimed that they were not allowed to enter the dressing room of the Eat Bulaga talents despite him being the president of TAPE.

“Kahit na ako yung president, kahit na kami yung producer, hindi ako nakakapasok diretso sa loob ng dressing room nila.” Jalosjos said.

However, Allan said that the officials of TAPE can freely enter their dress room so he was wondering why Jalosjos made such claims.

“Paano bang hindi pinapapasok? Hindi ko maintindihan e, they’re free naman to.. pasok, labas, pasok sa dressing room namin. Maybe that instance na naka-lock, siguro yun yung nagpe-pray kami. I dunno. I have no idea kung kailan hindi pinapapasok.” Allan said.

Even Ryan Agoncillo said the same thing, saying that there’s no reason for TAPE officials to not be allowed to enter their dressing room.

Jose Manalo, shares that he’s not receiving salary from Eat Bulaga while facing difficulties in life

While being considered one of the best comedians of this generation, Jose Manalo faced difficulties last year after two members of his family passed away.

In 2021, Jose’s mother Anita Manalo passed away, and the same year his brother Arnel also passed on, and in the following year, his wife Anna Lyn followed.

According to veteran columnist Cristy Fermin, during those time Jose was already not receiving his salary from Eat Bulaga on time, so the showbiz reporter couldn’t stop asking the comedian how he handled those problems.

Jose then shared that he only spent those time with his family and tried to forget his problems by praying.

“Nandoon lang kami sa bahay [kasama ang] pamilya, ako kasi  tita Cristy madali akong mag-switch, kahit anong sakit na nararamdaman ko kaya kong tanggalin,” said Jose. “Siguro sa tulong narin ng prayers ko.” 

“Hindi ko pwedeng dibdibin.. dinibdib natin talaga naman, hanggang ngayon dala dala natin yon. Hindi ako sumabay eh, nilibang ko ‘yung sarili ko. Naka-lock in [taping] naman kami,” he added.

Despite his problems with TAPE, Jose refused to speak about the issue.

“Tayo naman kasi ayokong sakin mangagaling ang mga ganyan, sabi ko nga ‘baka tumawag bigla si Nay Cristy, anong sasabihin ko sa kanya’ hindi naman ako pwede magbigay ng [impormasyon] na hindi ako sigurado sa mga bagay bagay,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Tito Sotto revealed their issues with TAPE Inc. the production company behind Eat Bulaga, claiming that its talents were not being paid properly.

Tito cited the case of his brother, Vic Sotto who’s not paid by millions of pesos.

Ryzza Mae Dizon, todo pasasalamat sa pagtatanggol sa kanya ng TVJ na hindi mapaalis sa Eat Bulaga: “Iyak po ako ng iyak”

Former Eat Bulaga host Ryzza Mae Dizon speaks for the first time after their resignation from Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.)

In an interview with Cristy Fermin on June 8, 2023, Ryzza said that she experienced being required to only attend once a week in Eat Bulaga, a sign that she’s already near to getting removed from the show.

His few appearances mean few talent fees for her, but she said that she never complained about the decision of the executives.

However, Ryzza said that she was surprised after being informed about the plans to remove her completely from Eat Bulaga.

She only got informed about it when Tito Sotto revealed it in an interview.

“Doon lang po sa interview ni Tito Sen ko nalaman na ako po ‘yung gustong alisin, at tanggalin tas palitan po,” said Ryzza. “Ang reaction ko po doon, iyak po ako ng iyak kasi hindi ko po in-expect.”

“Buti nalang po talaga pinaglaban at pinagtanggol po ako ng TVJ kaya sobrang laki ng pasasalamat ko sa kanila,” she added.

It can be recalled that Ryzza Mae has been reportedly being planned to be replaced by a host from the hometown of the Jalosjos family.

“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,” Sotto said.

“Kasi ‘yung gusto nilang i-promote na bata, pwede ngang matulungan ni Ryzza ‘yun eh, pwedeng maging ka-tandem, mas madaling sumikat,” he added.

Joey de Leon becomes emotional while narrating how one of their major sponsors checked on them after leaving Eat Bulaga

Sa pambihirang pagkakataon ay nakita ng publiko ang pagiging emosyonal ng isa sa mga orihinal na host ng Eat Bulaga na si Joey de Leon.

Sa panayam sa kanya ng News5, sinabi ni De Leon na naging emosyonal siya sa ikalawang araw ng pag-alis nila sa Eat Bulaga at TAPE Inc. matapos silang kamustahin ng isa sa kanilang mga major sponsors, ang grocery chain na Puregold.

Ayon kay De Leon ay nahiya siya sa may-ari ng kumpanya na si Susan Co dahil sa nag-advance diumano ito ng malaki para sa sponsorship ng Eat Bulaga, ngunit ngayon ay wala na sila sa nasabing programa.

Ngunit sinabi diumano sa kanila ng negosyante na hindi nila iniisip ang pera na nailagay nila sa Eat Bulaga.

“Kayo okay ba kayo? ako naman bumaliktad (ng tanong) kasi nabalitaan ko parang nag-advance na sila ng malaking… hindi ako marunong sa sales e three years na ata ang in-advance sa show namin. Biglang kinat ako, sabi niya nagalit e,” ani Joey.

“Sabi niya ‘no!’ hindi importante sa’min ‘yun. Bahala kami sa ginagawa namin, ang gusto namin malaman kung okay kayo. Umiyak ako nu’n,” dagdag pa niya.

Inaasahan naman na magiging isa sa mga major sponsors ng bagong show ng mga Dabarkads ang Puregold.

Matatandaan na nag-desisyon ni Joey, kasama na ang ilan pang mga nag-resign na host ng Eat Bulaga na lumipat sa nasabing TV5.

Scripted? Netizen accuses rebranded Eat Bulaga of handpicking contestants: “Tauhan ni Buboy yan sa paresan!”

A netizen called out the alleged handpicking of contestants during the first episode of the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga.
