Other TV5 news personalities also posted welcoming messages for the noontime show hosts when they joined the Kapatid Network.
It was via #EatBulaga that I had my first taste of TV Production.
Stressed na ako noon pag ginagabi sa opisina sa Loyola Heights. Di ko inakala na pagpasok ko sa media, normal pala ang umagahin sa trabaho.

De Leon recounted his time working on ABC 5’s gag/prank show, ‘Wow Mali.’
Earlier, Mediaquest released a statement confirming they would enter into an agreement with Tito, Vic, and Joey. This agreement would enable them to produce content for TV5 and other Mediaquest platforms.
TVJ, along with Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Maine Mendoza, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Wally Bayola, Ryan Agoncillo, and Allan K, parted ways with TAPE Inc. following internal issues faced by Eat Bulaga hosts and the media company.
