As such, the title of the much-awaited noontime show is yet to be announced.
TVJ planned to use the name Eat Bulaga but is still in a legal tussle to retrieve the name as it belongs to GMA’s Eat Bulaga’s production company, Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc., as its registered trademark owner at the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL).
The trio announced their departure from GMA’s Eat Bulaga after a dispute with TAPE Inc. last May 30 and announced that they’ll be moving to TV5 which was followed by their co-hosts.
Eat Bulaga is the longest-running noontime show in the Philippines for over 44 years and has been led by the trio ever since. Following their departure, it is now hosted by Betong Sumaya, Buboy Villar, Isko Moreno, and Paolo Contis.
