QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Former Senate President Tito Sotto today announced that EAT BULAGA will air on TV5 as early as July.

But how can there be two shows with the same title, the other with a new cast on GMA7?

No, problem, Sotto says, adding that their show on TV 5 will be named “The Orig Eat Bulaga” after all, he claims that they own the copyright/trademark for the show title.

Adding “Original” to the title of their new show will help distinguish it from the copycat GMA7 noontime show.

So TV viewers interested in slapstick comedy/variety shows should tune in to GMA7 if they support the new cast, or to TV5 if they are loyal to Tito, Vic and Joey.

By the way, The Adobo Chronicles just signed a content agreement with TVJ for the Orig show.

Problem solved!
