The top-rating noontime variety show "Eat Bulaga!" will remain with the Kapuso network for another three years.
This is after TAPE Inc., the producer of the country's longest running television show, signed an extension contract with GMA-7 last Friday, March 11. The extension means "Eat Bulaga!" will continue to be aired on the network until 2015.
GMA Network chief executive officer Felipe Gozon, president and chief operating officer Gilberto Duavit were present during the contract signing. Also present were TAPE Inc. president and chief executive officer Tony Tuviera and senior vice president Malou Choa-Fagar, as well as "Eat Bulaga!" hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, Ruby Rodriquez, Anjo Yllana, Jimmy Santos, and Allan K.
The contract extension officially dispels the long time rumor that "Eat Bulaga!" will be moving to another network.
"Eat Bulaga!" has been with the Kapuso network for almost sixteen years after it moved from ABS-CBN in 1995. It started its more than three decades of dominance in the noontime slot with RPN-9 in 1979 then transferred to ABS-CBN in 1989.
