TV5 clarifies 'It's Showtime' was not 'bumped off'

Following a detailed revelation on Tuesday on how 'Eat Bulaga' producers, TAPE Inc., dishonestly secured the trademark for Philippine TV's longest-running program, former Senate President Tito Sotto of the iconic comic trio Tito, Vic and Joey disclosed another deception by its owners, the Jalosjos family of politicians.
