As speculated, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon and the rest of “Eat Bulaga’s” Dabarkads are now with TV5.
This was confirmed by the Mediaquest Group in a statement, Wednesday.
“The Mediaquest Group has entered into an agreement with Tito, Vic, and Joey and the Dabarkads to produce content for TV5 and other Mediaquest platforms,” the statement read.
“The deal opens yet another chapter in the long-running celebrated entertainment careers of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon,” it added.
Mediaquest President and CEO, Jane Basas said she is honored that TVJ, known pillars of the local entertainment industry, have agreed to work with the team.
“Our partnership strengthens our ability to continue to deliver the best for Filipino viewers here at home and all over the world,” Basas said.
“I’m happy that Tito, Vic, and Joey will now call TV5 their home,” she added.
It remains to be seen though if the group will push through with their plans to use “Eat Bulaga” as title of their show on TV5.
Earlier, Tito maintained they will “fight” for their right to use the title as creators.
TAPE Inc. is still using the title for the show’s new iteration on GMA.
