Allan K, a comedian-TV presenter, said that Television and Production Exponents Inc (TAPE) offered him a contract extension to continue hosting the noontime show Eat Bulaga.
It is reported that at a general meeting, he was offered, along with Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola, with a chance to stay at ‘Eat Bulaga’. He said they were assured twice their pay, but that hosts other than TVJ would be removed from the longest-running noontime show.
“Nung una pa lang nag-general meeting… right there and then, in-announce na ire-retain, Jose, Wally, Allan,” Allan revealed.
“Mineeting kaming tatlo, we were offered this much. Sabi namin, ‘Hindi naman po ganon kadali magdesisyon, can you give us time?’” Allan explained.
Allan also stated that Maine was originally planned to be removed, but TAPE changed its plan. During their second meeting, Maine was additionally included in the double pay offer.
“Si Maine, nung pangalawa nang meeting, sinali na, kasali na siya don sa double your price!” the comedian shared to Julius during the interview.
