After much speculation, the legendary show **”Eat Bulaga”** under the management of **TAPE Inc.** will finally end on **July 31**! This news has caused a public outcry, raising a series of questions: **Will the contract with GMA be terminated? What will the fate of the show be?**

This is not the first time “Eat Bulaga” has fallen into crisis. After the original hosts **Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon** left the show last year, the new version of “Eat Bulaga” produced by **TAPE Inc.** has faced a serious **decline in viewership**.

Despite efforts to change the MC lineup and the way the show operates, this version **failed to attract the audience** like before. Reports show that the ratings have been continuously **falling**, causing TAPE Inc. has no choice but to **make the decision to terminate on July 31**.

One of the biggest questions right now is **whether GMA will continue to cooperate with TAPE Inc. or will terminate the contract completely**. According to some sources, **GMA is still considering options**, but with “Eat Bulaga” no longer operating under TAPE Inc., it is likely that **the contract between the two parties will also be terminated sooner than expected**.

In addition, we cannot ignore the fact that the original version of “Eat Bulaga” hosted by **TVJ (Tito, Vic & Joey) on TV5** is currently attracting a large number of viewers, creating no small amount of pressure for TAPE Inc.

With the end of the program, **the MCs and backstage staff** are also facing the risk of **losing their jobs**. Some fans are speculating that **some of the MCs may move to TV5**, while others may seek new opportunities on other GMA shows.

While “Eat Bulaga” under TAPE Inc. will be ending, that doesn’t mean the franchise is completely dead. **TVJ and the TV5 version of “Eat Bulaga” are still going strong**, and with the support from fans, this could be the **next generation of the legendary Eat Bulaga**.

Will GMA make an official statement about the future of “Eat Bulaga”? And what will TAPE Inc. do next? **Stay tuned for more developments!**
