Jalosjos may mensahe sa mga bagong Eat Bulaga hosts: ‘Ayaw namin kayong maging Tito, Vic and Joey”

Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) chief financial officer Bullet Jalosjos said that he tried to comfort the new hosts of their rebranded version of Eat Bulaga after they received a tremendous amount of criticism on social media.

It can be recalled that Paolo Contis, Betong Sumaya, Buboy Villar, Alexa Miro, Cassy Legaspi, and Mavy Legaspi replaced the original hosts of Eat Bulaga, and received accusations that they’re trying to rival the original Dabarkads, including Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.

However, Jalosjos told their new talents that they were not meant to replace TVJ.

“Even yung mga talents na tinatawagan—takot. We have to convince them that ‘You’re not trying to fill any shoe… You have to understand it’s the show,” said Jalosjos. “Malinaw daw niyang sinabi sa bagong hosts: “We don’t want you to replace…to be a Tito, Vic and Joey. Kasi Tito, Vic and Joey na yan.”

“You’re just here to ensure na makapagbigay kami ng saya, mapagpatuloy namin yung duty namin as a show to entertain every Filipino at a certain time of the day.” he added.

It can be recalled that even Paolo already made several statements to made it clear that they’re not trying to be the next TVJ.

“S’yempre lilinawin lang naman natin, walang planong palitan, wala kaming chance palitan si Tito, Vic and Joey. Wala kaming chance dun,” he said.

“We were just called to work, to continue the show because ang gusto ng TAPE office na makapagbigay ng papremyo every day.” he added.

 

Joey de Leon admits watching new Eat Bulaga: “Sinungaling ko naman kung sabihin kong di ko nasilip”

Former Eat Bulaga host Joey de Leon admitted that he already watched the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga.

In an interview with Julius Babao, Joey even said that he was watching their rival show ‘It’s Showtime’ before, so it was impossible for him not to watch their former show.

He clarified that he’s doesn’t have any negative comments about the show that currently hosted by Paolo Contis, Isko Moreno, Buboy Villar, and others.

“Oo sumilip ako siyempre… “Sinungaling ko namang kung sabihin kong hindi ko nasilip. Nasilip ko, sanay akong manood ng Showtime, lahat. ng TV. Wala akong masamang komentaryo. Nagtatrabaho ‘yung mga tao.” Joey said.

However, he was surprised by the criticisms being received by the new show.

“‘Yun nga lang siyempre, hindi ko akalain yung puna ng iba ang daming… ‘Yung nauso yung social media, lahat ang daming nagkokomentaryo ‘di ba? Labas na ako ‘dun,” he stated.

He also talked about the trademark issue of Eat Bulaga that TVJ and TAPE Inc. both claimed, saying that the judgment of who was the rightful owner of the brand was already near.

Joey believed that he was the rightful owner of Eat Bulaga title even if he passed away.

“Nasa batas ‘yan Jules.. Nakasulat e, kung sino ang nakaisip sa kanya yan,” he insisted.

It was reported that Joey already filed entertainment services rights for Eat Bulaga.

 

Abogado, naniniwala na posibleng makuha ng TVJ ang karapatan sa Eat Bulaga title

A lawyer believed that while Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc) claimed that they owned the rights to use the ‘Eat Bulaga’ title, the founding host of the noontime show, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon has still the upper hand on the trademark issue.

One of the officials of TAPE Inc. claimed that they filed a trademark for Eat Bulaga branding in 2011, so they have all the rights to use the title even if TVJ already left the show.

“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,” the official said.

Atty. Mark Tolentino of Pinoy Legal Minds cited a Supreme Court decision that anyone who registered the trademark first was the one who rightfully owned the brand.

While Tolentino said that TAPE Inc. already registered to Eat Bulaga trademark to the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL), he mentioned that it was already set to expire on June 14, 2023.

He also said that TAPE only filed a trademark for the ‘merchandising rights’ of Eat Bulaga and not ‘Entertainment Services’.

Because of this, TAPE only has the right to sell Eat Bulaga merchandise and it doesn’t give them the right to use the current title of the noontime show.

He then mentioned that Atty. Tony Tuviera who was part of the TVJ faction, already filed a trademark for merchandising and entertainment services rights, while Joey de Leon filed for entertainment services only.

According to him, there’s no move from TAPE yet to renew their previous registration and there’s a possibility that it will be rejected if ever that TVJ already made their move.

“Pwedeng i-approve yan, pwede ring i-deny basta ang sabi ng batas, until June 2023 ang ownership TAPE incorporated sa Eat Bulaga brand, but it only refers to Merchandising right,” Atty. Tolentino said.

TVJ already took the service of DivinaLaw, a sign that they’re really serious about claiming the Eat Bulaga trademark.

However, Tolentino said that TVJ should have already registered Eat Bulaga many decades ago to avoid the problem.

Copyright and trademark is also different issues because while copyright favors the one who created the brand, trademark favors the one who registered first.

“Kung ang issue natin dito ay about ‘kami ang una’ yes relevant yon kapag ang pinag-uusapan ay copyright, kasi ang sabi ng batas ‘in the moment of creation’ yun ang proteksyon ng copyright. But kung trademark ang pinag-uusapan, yung logo o brand ang pinag-uusapan, ownership is thru registration,” the lawyer said.

Michael V. denies that he refuses any invitation from TAPE to host Eat Bulaga: “Alam ko kasi na in the future, I will appear on both shows”

Comedian Michael V. refused the reports circulating about his alleged refusal from hosting the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga.

In his social media post, Michael cited a report from Remate which indicated that Michael junked the offer from Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.) the current owner of Eat Bulaga to join the show as a replacement to the Dabarkads who resigned last May 31.

According to him, there’s no truth about the said report, however, he clarified that he would still refuse the offer if ever because of his schedule.

“WALA po akong natanggap na offer to host Eat Bulaga on GMA 7. At kung magkaroon man, I will STILL DECLINE dahil hindi na po maa-accommodate ng schedule ko at the moment.” said Michael.

However, he was still hoping that the two camps would set aside their differences to talk and solve the issues involving the show.

He’s also expecting to appear in the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga and also to the upcoming new show of the former Dabarkads on TV5.

“It’s unfortunate na hindi naging maayos ang paghihiwalay ng dalawang kampo and I’m hoping na ma-plantsa na ang gusot. Alam ko kasi na in the future, I will appear on both shows for whatever reason and I would like to feel welcome when that time comes.” he said.

 

Some netizens interpreted the post by Michael, saying that the comedian has no problem with appearing in the Jalosjos-owned Eat Bulaga despite the issues faced by his former colleagues.

“it means may plano si bitoy na maging host ng bagong eat bulaga kapag humupa na ang issues,” netizen Vhoythoy said.

Joey de Leon talks about Eat Bulaga title: ‘Akalain mo matapos ng 44 na taon, pag-aagawa ito’

Former Eat Bulaga host Joey de Leon shared his thoughts about the possible trademark battle between him and Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.)

It can be recalled that officials of TAPE claimed that they own the trademark for the title ‘Eat Bulaga’ so they have the right to use the same title even if Joey, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and other original hosts of the show left already.

“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,” one of the officials of TAPE said.

In his social media post, Joey made an indirect response to the statement made by the official, saying that he couldn’t believe that Eat Bulaga title would be claimed by somebody after 44 years.

“Noong maisip, binuo at imungkahi ko ang pangalang “EAT BULAGA!” para sa aming palabas nung 1979, naramdaman kong kahit ito ang napili at tinanggap ng marami sa namumuno, matagal-tagal ding ninamnam ito hanggang sa tumining; wari bang isang aampunin na may kaibang tunog at kaiba sa paningin.” Joey said.

“Tila ba kailangan mong masanay lunukin. Aakalain ba nyong makalipas ang 44 na taon o halos LIMANG DEKADA, ang pangalang ito ay pag-aawayan, pag-aagawan at marami ang nais na umangkin?!” he added.

 

Tito already said that they’re planning to bring the issue to the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) to determine the rightful owner of Eat Bulaga branding.

The host expressed confidence that they would win the case and even planning to charge TAPE Inc. for using Eat Bulaga title.

Isko Moreno decides to become regular host of Eat Bulaga after his guesting

Former Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno hinted that he would become a regular co-host of Eat Bulaga after his guest appearance Saturday, June 10.

In the Saturday episode of the rebranded Eat Bulaga, Moreno who’s introduced as a guest host has been given his own segment “G sa Gedli.” where he was accompanied by Buboy Villar.

In the said segment, ‘Yorme’ distributed money to random people they met along Marcos Highway, Cainta.

Moreno said that he enjoyed hosting the said noontime show and that he decided to return on Monday.

“Ang dami mong sinasabi, Yorme. Ikaw ba, nandito ka sa Lunes?” Eat Bulaga co-host Paolo Contis asked Moreno.

“Kailangan pa ba i-memorize ‘yan?” he added.

Aside from doing his own segment, Moreno also performed his ’90s signature dance that he used in several of his campaigns.

He also addressed the televiewers using street slang.

“Balita ko, masaya todits. Huwag kayong aalis. Diyan lang kayo gedli, bandang wakali, bandang nanka. Nandito na kami,” he told the audience.

Fans believed that TAPE’s decision to make Moreno a co-host was a wise move that may boost its decreasing ratings.

Moreno was popular among the masses and his fame even pushed him to run for the highest office in 2022.

Paolo Contis not to criticize the staff of Eat Bulaga: “Sila po ay nagpapakain ng pamilya nila”

Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis asked the netizens to stop criticizing his colleagues and staff of the noontime show who decided to remain under Television and Production Exponents Inc.

In the closing spiel of Eat Bulaga after their first week, Paolo made a speech to address the criticisms they received on social media from the fans of the original Dabarkads consisting of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.

First, he congratulated the whole staff of Eat Bulaga for having a successful first week and mentioned the effort made by them to give happiness to the televiewers amid controversy.

“Mga Dabarkads, unang Sabado po namin ngayon, and, guys, congratulations to us. Naka-isang linggo tayo.” said Paolo. “Lahat ng pagod, lahat ng efforts na araw-araw makasama namin kayo, lahat ng pang-aalipusta, lahat ng pamba-bash, lahat ng pagpupuna sa amin ng mga tao, lahat po iyan, inspirasyon namin iyan to do better. Binabasa po namin lahat iyan.”

“Pero siyempre, yung mga magagandang comments, nababasa rin po namin iyan kaya maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyo.” he added.

He then reminded the netizens that all the current staff of Eat Bulaga need to support their families.

“Umaga hanggang gabi, nagtatrabaho po sila. Umaga hanggang gabi, nagtatrabaho iyan para pagdating namin dito sa studio, masaya kayo, at alam na namin ang gagawin namin. Sila ang dahilan kaya alam namin ang ginagawa namin.” he stated.

“Ngayon, gaya po ng programang Eat Bulaga!, itong mga staff and crew po namin, pinili po nila na hindi rin mang-iwan dahil may mga pamilya sila na nangangailangan. Sila po ang nagpapakain sa mga pamilya nila.” he also said.

Paolo asked the netizens to just put all their criticisms on him instead of involving the staff.

“Kasi po, we will do our best para maging masaya po kayo, pero sana lang po, huwag niyo na pong idamay yung staff at yung crew. They don’t deserve it. Maybe I do, maybe I do, but they don’t!” he said.

“So kami na lang, sanay na kami diyan. Sila po, ang staff, ang crew, sila po ang tunay na Eat Bulaga!” he added.

Netizens found the statement made by Paolo ironic as he admitted that he was not sending child support to his children Xonia, Xylene, and Summer.

 

 

Mga fans ni Vice Ganda, pumalag sa posibleng pag-alis ng It’s Showtime sa noontime slot para palitan ng ‘Dabarkads’

Its Showtime fans expressed their support for comedian Vice Ganda amid the possibility of their show being replaced by ‘Dabarkads’.

In his tweet, Vice made a cryptic tweet about ‘worth’ amid the reports that TV5 possibly change the timeslot of Its Showtime and be replaced by the new show consisting of the resigned Eat Bulaga hosts.

“Always know your worth. Never sell urself short. GANDAng umaga!” Vice said.

Some of his fans interpreted the post as the reaction of Vice to the plan of TV5.

“Kahit anong oras pa kayo ilagay sa tv, it doesn’t matter. Kasi sa fb at YouTube namin kayo pinapanood. Forever
@itsShowtimeNa,” netizen Cyllyn said.

“Ok lang Mas Madami Parin gusto manuod ng Showtime. Tingnan nalang nila kung Mas aangat ba ratings nila kung Eat bulaga ang Ipapalit nila, At Bihira lang din kami manuod sa Tv5. Sa A2Z, Youtube nlng Pero Pinapanuod namin is Kapamilya Shows kaya kahit saan ipalabas ang Kapamilya Shows, Doon kami Manunuod. Forever Kapamilya.” another netizen said.

“Parang Hindi Naman maganda Yung parang pinatalsik Ang Isang show para lang palitan ng iba. Maganda kaya to say pakiramdam ng tvj. Baka Sila Naman makarma.” a follower commented.

It was reported that It’s Showtime might be put to a nighttime slot, ending its decades of being a noontime show.

Ratings ng Eat Bulaga, bumubulagta na paunti unti at halos kadikit na ng It’s Showtime

While Eat Bulaga remained the number one noontime show in the country as of writing, experts already noticed that Its rival show, It’s Showtime might take the crown soon.

In the data posted by NIELSEN, it was noticeable that the rebranded version of Eat Bulaga started strong compared to its competitors, getting 5.2% versus 3.2% gained by It’s Showtime.

But as the days passed, Eat Bulaga’s rating slowly decreased and last June 8, it was revealed that Eat Bulaga only gained 3.5% compared to 3.4% by It’s Showtime.

It’s not yet known if the move made by Eat Bulaga to invite Isko Moreno and Herlene “Hipon Girl” Budol would help them to recover this Saturday.

It can be recalled that experts already expected that the longest-running noontime show would face rating problems after its original hosts consisting of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon, Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo, and Allan K resigned on May 31, 2023.

TAPE Inc. might face more problems if ever the original hosts of Eat Bulaga finally start to air their own show on TV5 and become their new competitors.

 

 

Rendon Labador may banat kay Paolo Contis: “Bakit mo natitiis ang mga anak mo, samantalang pa-host host ka diyan”

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador made a video to criticize Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis for not giving child support to his three children.

According to Rendon, he may understand if Paolo was jobless, but now it’s already the right time for him to do his obligations as a father.

It can be recalled that Paolo admitted that he’s not sending financial support to his children as required by law.

“Sinabi kong iwan ang pamilya, pero hindi ko sinabi na iwan ang sustento,” Labador said. “Hindi ka na nakuntento, hindi ka nag-iwan ng sustento. Mahirap sayo puro ka comedy, pati tuloy buhay mo comedy.”

While Rendon said that he was fine with Paolo searching for a new partner, the actor should still do his obligations to his children.

“Tayong mga lalake dapat hindi natin iniiwan ‘yung mga responsibilidad natin. Sa lahat ng mga lalake diyan, ang kakapal ng mga mukha niyo, sustentuhan niyo ang mga anak niyo,” he stated.

Rendon also sympathized with Xonia, Xylene, and Summer for having a father who’s not supporting them financially.

“Hindi ko maisip kung ano ang rason ni Paolo Contis sa mga ginagawa niyang aksyon, ang tigas talaga ng mukha niya,” he said.

He then advised men to leave their partner if their relationship is not healthy anymore, but still do some efforts to save it.

As of writing, Paolo has yet to give a response to Rendon who’s known for making statements against celebrities.
