Not only Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, but also several other prominent hosts of the television show "Eat Bulaga" have announced their departure from TAPE Inc.
Pauleen Sotto, wife of Vic Sotto, took to Instagram to share a joint resignation letter addressed to Romeo Jalosjos Jr., the President and CEO of TAPE Inc.
"All the hosts, writers, sales, production, and cameramen followed suit immediately after TVJ's resignation," she wrote.
The letter, signed by renowned hosts including Maine Mendoza, Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo, and Allan K, stated that their resignation would be effective as of May 31, 2023.
"Eat Bulaga" has been a staple of Philippine television since its airing in 1979, capturing the hearts of millions with over 13,000 episodes — marking its title as the longest-running variety show in the country.
Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, collectively known as TVJ, have been synonymous with the show, and their absence will undoubtedly be deeply felt by both the audience and their co-hosts.
