In a jubilant display of camaraderie, Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis treated his co-workers to a delightful feast following the resounding triumph of Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. in renewing the trademark of the iconic noontime show.
On Saturday, August 5, the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) granted TAPE a 10-year renewal of their trademark ownership, securing their rights over the beloved show’s name and logo until 2033.
The successful trademark renewal marked a momentous occasion for the long-standing noontime show, which has been a staple in Philippine television for 44 years. It reinforced TAPE’s ownership of the Eat Bulaga name and symbol, silencing any doubt surrounding its rightful proprietorship.
Following the exciting news, Paolo Contis, who is an integral part of the Eat Bulaga family, couldn’t contain his joy and took the opportunity to celebrate the momentous occasion.
In a heartwarming gesture, he generously treated his fellow hosts and the show’s staff to a sumptuous feast of Seafood Paella platters, making the occasion all the more special.
Expressing his gratitude, TAPE’s finance director, Bullet Jalosjos, publicly thanked Paolo for his thoughtful gesture, which brought immense joy to everyone present during the celebration. The occasion served as a testament to the tight-knit bond shared among the Eat Bulaga family and their collective commitment to creating a show that brings happiness and assistance to their viewers.
During last week’s 44th celebration of the show, Paolo Contis also addressed the criticisms and comments from netizens, particularly those dubbing them as “Fake Bulaga.” He confidently reminded everyone that the ownership of Eat Bulaga lies with all those who have been part of its enduring journey throughout the years.
With the trademark renewal secured, Eat Bulaga’s legacy as one of the country’s most cherished and influential noontime shows remains stronger than ever. As the celebrations continue, fans and viewers eagerly anticipate more exciting episodes and moments of laughter and inspiration from the beloved show.
With Paolo Contis leading the way in celebrating this momentous victory, the future promises even more unforgettable moments and milestones for this cherished Filipino institution.
