Mayor Bullet Jalosjos ng TAPE sa Eat Bulaga: “The name stays with us”.
Mayor Bullet Jalosjos ng TAPE Inc. explains why they continue to use the name ‘Eat Bulaga’ for the remaining noontime show of Tito, Vic, and Joey. According to him, they obtained the trademark in 2011 and no one opposed their application. Therefore, he believes that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon cannot bring the name with them to their new program on TV5.
On May 31, the trio of Eat Bulaga bid farewell to TAPE Inc., and on June 7, they confirmed their transfer to TV5.
Dapitan City Mayor Bullet Jalosjos of TAPE Inc. explained why Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon cannot use the name Eat Bulaga. In an interview with Pinky Webb of CNN Philippines, Jalosjos mentioned the trademark they obtained in 2011, as well as their initial application in 1991.
He also explained the contract with GMA, wherein it stated “TAPE Eat Bulaga.” This is the reason why they continue the program with new hosts.
“Eat Bulaga is really TAPE. In fact, the contract with GMA 7 is with TAPE Eat Bulaga. I don’t think… we need a lawyer, it takes a lawyer to understand that we have been running for 44 years. Even our grandparents know that Eat Bulaga is really in GMA 7. And we will uphold the contract with them, and them as well. So the show that we will show on channel 7 will always be Eat Bulaga.”
Here is the full interview with Chief Finance Officer of TAPE Inc., Mayor Bullet Jalosjos, from CNN Philippines:
Eat Bulaga is known as the longest-running noontime show not only in the Philippines but also in the world. It first aired in 1979 on RPN 9, followed by their stint as Kapamilya for 6 years, and their last home was GMA 7 for 28 years.
On May 31, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey De Leon surprised the public with their departure from TAPE Inc. Only on June 7 did the TVJ confirm that TV5 will be their new home, along with other former Eat Bulaga hosts.

Ang alkalde ng Dapitan City na si Mayor Bullet Jalosjos sa ilalim ng TAPE Inc. ay nagpaliwanag kung bakit patuloy nilang ginagamit ang pangalang ‘Eat Bulaga’ para sa natitirang noontime show nina Tito, Vic, at Joey. Ayon sa kanya, nakamit nila ang trademark nito noong 2011 at walang tumutol sa kanilang aplikasyon. Kaya naman hindi nila mapapalitan ang pangalan ng Eat Bulaga sa kanilang bagong programa sa TV5.
Noong Mayo 31, nagpaalam ang trio ng Eat Bulaga sa TAPE Inc., at noong Hunyo 7, kumpirmado nila ang kanilang paglipat sa TV5.
Ipinaliwanag ni Dapitan City Mayor Bullet Jalosjos ng TAPE Inc. kung bakit hindi magagamit ng Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, at Joey De Leon ang pangalang Eat Bulaga. Sa panayam kay Pinky Webb ng CNN Philippines, binanggit ni Jalosjos ang trademark na kanilang nakamit noong 2011, pati na rin ang kanilang unang aplikasyon noong 1991.
Ipinakita rin niya ang kontrata sa GMA kung saan nakasaad ang “TAPE Eat Bulaga.” Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ipagpapatuloy nila ang programa kasama ang mga bagong host.
“Ang Eat Bulaga ay talagang TAPE. Sa katunayan, ang kontrata ng GMA 7 ay kasama ang TAPE Eat Bulaga. Hindi ko isinasaad na kailangan natin ang isang abogado, kailangan ng abogado para maunawaan na tumatakbo kami ng 44 na taon. Kahit ang mga lolo at lola natin ay alam na ang Eat Bulaga ay talagang nasa GMA 7. At susuportahan namin ang kontrata sa kanila, at sila rin. Kaya ang palabas na ipapakita namin sa channel 7 ay laging Eat Bulaga.”
Narito ang buong panayam kay Chief Finance Officer ng TAPE Inc., Mayor Bullet Jalosjos, mula sa CNN Philippines:
Ang Eat Bulaga ang tinaguriang pinakatagal na noontime show hindi lamang sa Pilipinas kundi sa buong mundo. Unang ipinakita ito noong 1979 sa RPN 9, sinundan ng kanilang paglipat bilang Kapamilya sa loob ng 6 na taon, at ang huling tahanan nila ay ang GMA 7 sa loob ng 28 na taon.
Noong Mayo 31, nagulat ang publiko sa pamamaalam nina Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, at Joey De Leon sa TAPE Inc. Noong Hunyo 7 lamang, kinumpirma ng TVJ na ang TV5 ang magiging bagong tahanan nila, kasama ang iba pang dating host ng Eat Bulaga.
