Projects
The current iteration of the Philippines' longest-running noontime variety and entertainment show Eat Bulaga!, co-produced by TVJ Productions and TV5, premiered on July 1, 2023, which replaced ABS-CBN Studios' noontime show It's Showtime's timeslot after it was moved to All TV,[6] GMA Network[7] and GTV.[8][9][10] The show was then known by its placeholder title E.A.T., yet pending a trademark dispute between TAPE, Inc. and TVJ Productions which eventually concluded in favor of the latter.[11][12][13][14]
In 2023, MediaQuest Holdings reportedly planned to bring the programs Wow Mali and Iskul Bukol to TV5, associated with Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon. Wow Mali is a comedy gag show known for its candid humor, which aired on TV5 from 1996 to 2008 and again from 2009 to 2015, with De Leon as its main host. In its new version, Eat Bulaga! hosts Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola were set to appear in some episodes.[15]
