Amidst the increasingly tense media war, Manny Pangilinan is receiving countless compliments for his **strong support for TVJ (Tito, Vic & Joey)**, the legendary trio who made the name of the show “Eat Bulaga”. This support not only helps TVJ continue to firmly on its own path but also makes it difficult for its rival TAPE Inc.

According to the latest reports, **viewership and TV ratings are leaning towards TVJ**, while TAPE Inc. and GMA Network are witnessing a significant decline. TVJ’s new show under the backing of Manny Pangilinan is **leading on many platforms**, creating a small fever in the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, Felipe Gozon and TAPE Inc. seem to be **”stagnating”** in this war. The change in the hearts of the audience, along with the undeniable appeal of TVJ, has put TAPE Inc. in a difficult position.

Fans were quick to praise Manny Pangilinan for his **strategic vision and loyalty to TVJ**, saying that this was the right decision to protect the reputation of the legendary trio. However, can TAPE Inc. and GMA turn the tables in this ratings race? Or will this be the turning point that puts them in a weaker position than ever?
