TAPE Inc. said that Eat Bulaga will continue without TVJ: “Ang pag alis ng mga hosts ay hindi dahilan para tumigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo”

Naging palaban ang Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. sa naging kanilang pahayag matapos lisanin nina Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto at Joey de Leon ang kanilang kumpanya nitong Mayo 31.

Nitong Sabado ay naglabas ang TAPE ng kanilang pahayag kung saan ay nangako sila na kahit na umalis na ang mga dating host ng Eat Bulaga ay magpapatuloy parin ang ‘isang libo’t isang tuwa’.

Ayon kay CEO ROmeo Jalosjos Jr. ay ikinakalungkot nila ang nangyari sa Eat Bulaga ngunit kailangan parin nilang magpatuloy.

“We want to assure the public and the supporters of the show through its segments that we are committed to providing quality entertainment. It is unfortunate, but life must go on. As with life, we have to accept changes but we have a duty to every Filipino.” ani Jalosjos.

“Abangan niyo ang mga bagong magpapasaya at magpapatibok ng ating mga puso. Aasahan ninyo ang mas masaya, mas nakakaaliw at HIGIT PA SA ISANG LIBO’T ISANG TUWA na Eat Bulaga. patuloy ang Dabarkads na maglilingkot para sa inyo,” dagdag pa niya.

“Ang pag-alis ng mga hosts ay hindi dahilan para tumigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo,” 

Hindi naman nagustuhan ng ilang netizens ang naging pahayag ni Jalosjos na tila hindi nirespeto ang naiambag ng TVJ sa kanilang programa ng ilang dekada.

“Eat Bulaga will never be the same again. The original hosts put in a lot of effort and gave it a unique identity. Even if the show changes its environment, situation, or vibe, the original team of so-called ‘DABARKADS’ is irreplaceable,” ani netizen Jame.

“Parang sa linggo nAPO sila mangyayari diyan. hindi rin natin masisisi TAPE baka ang mahal na talaga ng TF ng TVJ tapos hindi na rin naman 100 % na sila lang ang naghohost. ang sagwa lang ng tagline nila againsr TVJ.. na tuloy ikot ng mundo daw. Ang yabang lang ng design,” sabi ni netizen Lidialyn.

Lahat ng host at staff ng Eat Bulaga, sumama na sa TVJ at nag-resign sa TAPE

After Eat Bulaga’s legendary trio Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon left Television and Production Exponents Inc. most of the staff behind the longest-running noontime show also followed suit.

In a document published by Pauleen Luna, it can be seen that Eat Bulaga Dabarkads Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo, and Allan K already signed their resignation to TAPE Inc.

“Dahil po sa mga nangyari, kami po ay magpapaalam na rin sa TAPE Inc. simula ngayong araw, May 31, 2023.” according to the letter addressed to TAPE CEO Romeo Jalosjos Jr. and to EVP for Productions Soraya Jalosjos.

Aside from the said celebrities, the writers, sales, production and cameramen of Eat Bulaga also resigned.

It was also noticeable that the social media pages of Eat Bulaga were still under the custody of the ‘Team Dabarkads’.

There were rumours that all the former staff of the noontime show would transfer temporarily to TV5 while waiting for the contract expiration between TAPE and GMA until 2025.

As of writing, TAPE has yet to give a statement about the decision of most of the staff of Eat Bulaga to leave the show.

It’s also expected that a legal battle would start between TVJ and TAPE for the branding of Eat Bulaga.

Paolo Contis tinawag na ‘makapal’ ng isang manunulat: “How could you be so proud when she has been the culprit of controversy in the first place?”

A writer and former seafarer, Lacruiser Relativo, couldn’t hide his disappointment with the statement made by actor Paolo Contis in an interview with GMA News.

In the interview, Paolo narrated how his relationship with Yen Santos stayed after being accused of cheating on his former partner LJ Reyes.

“There was a time, or there was every opportunity, she had every opportunity to tell me or to leave, but she stayed,” said Paolo.

“Hindi mo ba mamahalin ‘yun? During that time that some of my friends, some of the people who actually believed me were leaving, someone stayed. Kumbaga nung lahat palayo, siya papalapit.” he added.

Lacruiser, in a Facebook post, expressed his dismay toward Paolo, calling him ‘thick face’ for being proud of the person who became the reason his family became broken.

“Paolo Contis just being so proud of how he handled his moving on. Lol. How could you be so proud when she has been the culprit of controversy in the first place? And where do you find the courage to flaunt a person who has been the cause of irreparable damage to the family you once built, and the repercussions that will continue to haunt your children?” the writer said.

“This is not Paolo being proud. But him being makapal ang mukha. To the likes of you, how dare you to say na maiintindihan ng anak paglaki nila ang mga nangyari. Kung ako ang anak, ayaw kong intindihin ang rason na hindi ka na kontento. At lalong ayaw ng anak intindihin ang pagsisinungaling ng magulang. Kung may kawawa sa mga hiwalayan ng matatanda yun po ang mga bata!” he added.

The post gained reactions from the netizens who agreed with Lacruiser.

Ice Seguerra, may reaksyon sa nangyaring pag-alis ng TVJ sa Tape: “Masaya ako dahil malaya na sila”

Ice Seguerra couldn’t hide his sadness after getting informed about the decision of Eat Bulaga hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon to leave Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE)

In his social media post, Ice made his reaction to the said decision that rocked the fans of Eat Bulaga.

Ice who became a child star and Eat Bulaga after winning Little Miss Philippines in 1987 had mixed emotions about what happened to the longest-running noontime show.

According to him, he’s sad because of the aftermath of Eat Bulaga’s internal issue, but happy at the same time because many Dabarkads were now free from the former management.

“Hindi ko naiintindihan ang nararamdaman ko. Lungkot ba o saya?” Ice said.

“Malungkot ako sa nangyayari. Sa kawalang respeto. Malungkot ako dahil sa hiwalayang Eat Bulaga at TAPE, mayroong mga taong mag-iiba ang lagay sa buhay. Nalukungkot akong umabot sa ganito.

“Pero masaya ako dahil malaya na sila. Bakit ka mananatili sa isang relasyong hindi ka naman masaya. Hindi rin ako natatakot sa kinabukasan ng programa. Ang Eat Bulaga ay Eat Bulaga. Kahit saang network sila mapadpad, walang paltos silang makakalipad.” he added.

Ice’s post gained a reaction from several celebrities, including Iza Calzado, Amy Perez, and Geneva Cruz.

Sass Sasot reminds Moira dela Torre: “If you decide to have another jowa while you are still married, that’s adultery”

An international relations expert who follows the issue of Moira dela Torre and Jason Marvin reminded the singer about the risk of her rumored relationship with Zack Tabudlo.

In a Facebook post, Sass Rogando Sasot reacted to Moira’s statement, reminding the singer that she has yet to leave her marriage to Jason.

It can be recalled that Moira claimed that she already ‘left’ her marriage with Jason.

“I never imagined that I would find myself in a situation where I have to explain and defend my decision to leave a marriage, as well as justify the state of my mental health,” she said.

However, Sasot said that Moira was still married to Jason legally and her rumored relationship with Zack may put her in some problems.

Sasot suggested that Moira should start filing an annulment against Jason if she really wanted to have a new partner.

“Teh, in the first place, you did NOT leave a marriage, you are STILL married. You are still Jason’s wife, and he is still your husband. Second, you really have to defend your decision to leave a marriage if you finally decide to leave it, and in our country you can only leave it through an annulment.” Sass said.

“And third, if you decide to have another jowa while you are still married, that’s adultery, even according to your Christian values. So itigil mo na ang drama mo: either you offer your petchay again to your husband. Or file an annulment.” she added.

Some netizens suspected that Moira was trying to capitalize on her separation from Jason so she’s not yet filing an annulment.

“She should have take care of the annulment ASAP, but hey, kumikitang kabuhayan kase ang pagiging “heartbroken” ng mga kanta nya hahaha! Business wise she took the opportunity and capitalized their situation haha!” netizen Kenneth said.

Eat’s Showtime? Tito, Vic, Joey and Dabarkads to reportedly transfer and have a show in TV5

After the sudden announcement made by Eat Bulaga hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon about their departure from Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.

On May 31, 2023, TVJ already announced its decision to leave TAPE after a series of issues between them and the executives of the production company being led by Romeo Jalosjos.

“Simula ngayong araw, May 31, 2023, kami po ay magpapaalam na sa TAPE Incorporated. Karangalan po namin na nakapaghatid ng tuwa’t saya mula Batanes hanggang Jolo at naging bahagi ng buhay ninyo,” Vic said.

“Saan man kami dalhin ng tadhana, tuloy ang isang libo’t isang tuwa.” he added.

TAPE didn’t allow the TVJ to air their announcement and just decided to show a replay episode to the fans of Eat Bulaga this Friday.

According to Entertainment Writer Jojo Gabinete, the legendary trio and their colleagues were already set to transfer to TV5 to create their own show.

“Idinagdag ng network insider na ‘done deal’ na ang negosasyon na nangyari kamakailan lamang,” said Gabinete.

Aside from Gabinete, Cristy Fermin also confirmed the transfer of the Dabarkads to TV5.

Brightlight Productions was reportedly planning to sign the trio and other hosts who were willing to transfer to them.

As of writing, TAPE has yet to give any statement on the decision of TVJ to leave them after 44 years.

Some experts also believed that the TVJ’s next move is to get the trademark of ‘Eat Bulaga’ from the Jalosjos family.

It can be remembered that Tito already hired the service of a prestigious law firm amid the issue between the Dabarkads and TAPE.

GMA Network, ikinalungkot ang pag-alis ng TVJ sa Eat Bulaga: “We pray for a smooth and swift resolution of their issues”

GMA Network released a statement after the legendary trio of Eat Bulaga, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon decided to leave Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.

In their official statement, GMA is still hoping that the issue would still be resolved between TAPE and Eat Bulaga Dabarkds which started when the Jalosjos family planned to remove Tony Tuviera from the production staff of the show.

They also clarified that they still have a ‘block time agreement’ with TAPE until the end of 2024.

“We are saddened by today’s unexpected turn of events with regard to Eat Bulaga. GMA has been the home of Eat Bulaga for many years and we still have a block time agreement with TAPE until the end of 2024 for the noontime slow. Together with the Filipino fans, we pray for a smooth and swift resolution of their issues.” the statement reads.

While fans are still hoping that TVJ would stay as Kapuso, a report from Bilyonaryo said otherwise.

According to the report, TVJ was disappointed by GMA Network for allegedly siding with TAPE over the issue.

“TVJ feels bad by Gozon’s decision to favor Jalosjos, as management should ideally remain neutral in what are essentially internal matters. GMA knows it has a lot to lose if the trio decides to abandon Eat Bulaga which is part of its core programming. Not only will GMA have a big hole to fill in the noontime slot, but one of its rival TV networks will inadvertently get a boost by getting TVJ,” according to the report.

Tito confirmed that they’re already receiving offers from other networks.

Coincidence? Netizen notice that TVJ’s resignation is the same day of Pepsi Paloma’s passing

While thousands of netizens are discussing the resignation of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon to Tape Inc. a Twitter user pointed out a coincidence about the date of the departure of the legendary trio.

In a Twitter post, netizen @mark_taimiklang noticed that the announcement of TVJ has the same date as the passing of former actress Pepsi Paloma who passed away on May 31, 1985.

“Coincidence?” the netizen asked.

Aside from Mark, some netizens also celebrated the departure of TVJ, mentioning the case of Pepsi.

It can be remembered that Vic, Joey, and Richie D’Horsie have been accused by the actress of allegedly taking her to a room with the three and made unimaginable things to her.

Tito got involved in the case by becoming the lawyer of the three accused.

According to a report in People’s Journal on October 13, 1982, the three apologized to Pepsi.

“We hope that you will not allow the error we have committed against you to stand as a stumbling block to that future which we all look forward to. We, therefore, ask you to find it in your heart to pardon us for the wrong which we have done against you.” according to the report.

Pepsi did not pursue the case against the three.

In 1985, Pepsi was found lifeless inside her apartment, citing several personal problems.

Tito believed that Pepsi only accused Vic, Joey, and Richie to gain publicity.

The discussion about the case has been revived after legendary OPM band Eraserheads released the song ‘Spoliarium’ which fueled an urban myth.

However, the band’s former frontman Ely Buendia denied that the song was about Pepsi’s case.

The last airing of TVJ was also stopped after they were not allowed to broadcast on May 31, 2023.

“Pumasok po kaming lahat ngayong araw para magtrabaho pero hindi po kami pinayagan ng new management na umere ng live,” Tito said.

“Simula ngayong araw, May 31, 2023, kami po ay nagpapaalam na sa TAPE INCORPORATION. Karangalan po namin na kami’y nakapaghatid ng tuwa’t saya mula Batanes hanggang Jolo at naging bahagi ng buhay niyo. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Hanggang sa muli.” Vic stated.

In an Instagram post, Joey clarified that they’re not yet retiring but just taking a break.

Many networks already expressed interest in taking the hosts of Eat Bulaga if ever they leave TAPE.

Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto at Joey de Leon, announces leavingTape Inc: “Hindi po kami pinayagan umere”

After 44 years, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon announced that they would finally leave Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.)

In their statement, TVJ said that they were not allowed by Tape Inc. to air today, May 31 for still unknown reasons.

They only made a live video posted on social media to announce that they would part ways with TAPE which is owned by the Jalosjos family.

“Pumasok po kaming lahat ngayong araw para magtrabaho pero hindi po kami pinayagan ng new management na umere ng live,” Tito said.

“July 30, 1979 po, nang simulan namin ang Eat Bulaga.. 44 years na po ito ngayong taon. Kaya naman lubos ang aming pasasalamat sa mga naging tahanan namin – ang RPN9 for 9 years, ABS-CBN for 6 years at ang GMA for 28 years.” Joey stated.

“Salamat din sa lahat ng advertisers mula 1979 na nagmahal, nagtiwala at sumuporta sa amin.” Vic remarked.

Tito also thanked Tony Tuviera for being part of Eat Bulaga for many years.

Vic then finally announced their major decision that might end GMA Network’s domination in noontime show ratings.

“Ito po siguro ang pinakamahirap na desisyon na ginawa namin simula 1979. Hindi na po namin isa isa hin pa ang laman ng aming puso. Ang hangad lang po namin ay makapagtrabaho ng mapayapa, walang inaagrabyado at may respeto sa bawat isa.” Vic said.

“Simula ngayong araw, May 31, 2023, kami po ay nagpapaalam na sa TAPE INCORPORATION. Karangalan po namin na kami’y nakapaghatid ng tuwa’t saya mula Batanes hanggang Jolo at naging bahagi ng buhay niyo. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Hanggang sa muli.

“Saan man kami dalhin ng tadhana, tuloy ang isang libo’t isang tuwa,” he added.

As of writing TAPE Inc. has yet to give any statement to the decision of TVJ and other Eat Bulaga hosts.

Eat Bulaga only aired a taped episode today.

It can be recalled that for many months, it was already rumored that there was an internal issue between the executives and hosts of Eat Bulaga.

It was reported that the Jalosjos family wanted to replace some of the production team of Eat Bulaga, including Tuviera.

Some hosts also complained about unpaid talent fees worth millions of pesos.
