In a bold resurgence of his ongoing feud with Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc., Joey De Leon, who departed from EAT BULAGA three months ago amidst a trademark dispute, took to social media to deliver a pointed tirade aimed at the show's hosts and production team.
The rift between De Leon and TAPE Inc. had revolved around the ownership of the iconic "Eat Bulaga" trademark, a battle that seemingly reached resolution as TAPE Inc. secured a 10-year renewal of the trademark.
Joey De Leon, the erstwhile fixture of the long-running noontime show, shared a striking Instagram post, accompanied by a thought-provoking caption: "Sabi ni Albert Einstein, 'Creativity is intelligence having fun.' Korek! In 1979, I was having fun creating the title 'Eat Bulaga.' Fast forward… BULAGA! Akalain ba nyong after nearly FIVE decades pinag-uusapan, pinag-aagawan at pinag-aawayan pa! Sikat na sikat kami! A different kind of fun! Happy problem? Abangan!"
The entertainer's assertion of being the creative force behind the show's name takes center stage in this renewed skirmish, as he emphasizes the continuing significance and allure of "Eat Bulaga" in the entertainment landscape, even as it approaches its fiftieth year of existence. De Leon's words appear to draw a line in the sand, reinforcing his claim to the show's creative legacy while also subtly challenging the very essence of the trademark renewal obtained by TAPE Inc.
The saga between Joey De Leon and his former show continues to captivate public attention, showcasing the complexities that can arise from the convergence of creativity, intellectual property, and the passage of time. As De Leon's parting shot hints at a forthcoming revelation of a "different kind of fun," it leaves fans and industry observers eagerly anticipating the next turn in this compelling narrative.
