TAPE Inc. used “Tahanang Pinakamasaya” as the new title of its noontime show, after the court ruled that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon (TVJ) are the rightful owners of the Eat Bulaga trademark.
On Saturday, Jan. 6—a day after TVJ announced its win on the copyright infringement and unfair competition case against the production company and GMA Network—hosts Paolo Contis and Isko Moreno began the noontime show by acknowledging the court decision.
“Mga Kapuso, may balita tayong natanggap kahapon, kaya susunod tayo sa desisyon ng korte,” Moreno said. “Pero fresh episode tayo mula ngayon at laging good vibes lang at love love lang.”
(Our dear Kapuso, the news came out yesterday so we will comply with the decision of the court. But we will be bringing you fresh episodes with love and good vibes starting today.)
“Ang mahalaga, hanggat nandyan po kayo, kami ni Paolo at ang ating mga kasama dito sa ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya’ ay tuloy-tuloy and tulong at saya at sorpresa,” he added.
