‘Eat Bulaga’ original hosts Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey De Leon said that they were not the cause on why It’s Showtime will no longer be airing on the Kapatid Network.
“With due respect to TV5, I don’t think the phrase ‘bumped off’ should be used,” Tito said in a media briefing.
“Di naman sila na-bump off, e. Natapos na yung kontrata nila. So, in fairness to TV5, walang naba-bump off. Matatapos yung kontrata, yun ang pagkakaalam namin,” Tito added.
Joey then agreed with Tito Sen and said that they did not bump off It’s Showtime.
“Una, hindi na-bump off. Mangyayari at mangyayari yan,” he added.
Joey also reacted on It’s Showtime announcement that it will be moving to a new home, GTV.
“Actually, may mga press release na nga sila, sila rin daw gumagawa ng record… dahil nakaapat na istasyon kami,” pasakalye ni Joey na ang tinutukoy ay ang pag-ere nila sa RPN-9, ABS-CBN, GMA at TV5,” Joey said.
“Ganu’n din sila, kaya lang shorter time sila. Ang panlaban nila, 15 years ata lang or 12. Kami raw, 44. In other words, sabi nu’ng anak ko nga, si Jako, niyanig niyo ang telebisyon. Matagal niyo nang ginagawang magpayanig, ginugulo niyo. Kayo ang pinakamalakas na earthquake, lahat ng sumunod aftershock na lang iyan,” he added.
“Ibig sabihin, nabuhay (ang TV industry). Kami, oo, alive tayong lahat, pero mas alive kami sa 5. Alive ang TV ngayon. Biro niyo, nabuhay lahat, e. Lahat nagulantang, lahat nayanig. Masaya, kaya masaya. Good,” Joey explained.
